A bystander, trying to stop an argument, is told by one of the participants, "Include yourself out of this." The remark is a reference to one of the famous twisted-English "Goldwynisms" uttered (or purported to have been uttered) by producer Sam Goldwyn: "Include me out."
One of the scenes depicts Mary singing "Musetta's Waltz" from Act II of Puccini's opera "La Bohème." In a later scene, Jimmy is living in a garret, and out of frustration he tries to burn his scores in the garret's stove, while Herman burns his hands retrieving them. The first and fourth acts of Puccini's opera takes place in a Parisian garret shared by four struggling artists. One of them is a poet who's working on a play. Since there's no firewood, he burns his manuscript.
