    The quote "Don't psychoanalyze me, you wouldn't like me when I'm psychoanalyzed." is a reference to the comic book character, The Incredible Hulk, and his famous "Don't make me angry..." line.

    The Hulk was portrayed in The Incredible Hulk by Edward Norton, the same actor who played Will Graham in "Red Dragon" in 2002.
