Spoiler Space For #501 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Towards the end of the episode, Li proclaimed, "I love the smell of Cola in the morning!" This is a parody of a line uttered by Sheriff Gerald Hege, the self-proclaimed "Toughest Sheriff in America" on the Court TV nightly show "Inside Cell Block F". Sheriff Hege begins each episode of "Cell Block F" by stating that he "loves the smell of handcuffs in the morning".

Do you think it might be a reference to Apocalypse Now when Robert Duvall says, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning".

i'd be willing to bet the phrase "I love the smell of ______ in the morning" is even older than "Apocalypse Now," although reading that line through the lens of that particular movie DOES make it a lot funnier. now all we need is a variation on "Charlie don't surf!"
