The title of this episode is a reference to Shakespeare's HENRY IV PART 1 (Act 2, Scene 3). "Away! Away, you trifler. Love, I love thee not. I care not for thee, Kate. This is no world To play with mammets and to tilt with lips. We must have bloody noses and cracked crowns, And pass them current too.--Gods me, my horse!-- What say'st thou, Kate? What would'st thou have with me?"
