    • Trivia
      After Will and Cornflake handcuff themselves to the classroom door, they begin chanting "Attica! Attica!" This is a nod to the film Dog Day Afternoon (1975) in which Al Pacino chants it at the police in protest. The chant itself refers to the Attica Prison riots of 1971, during which prisoners took over a prison in protest of poor treatment.

      When Agent Collins comes looking for Marge, he states her full name as Margaret Smallwood. But a moment later, Phil calls her Margery Smallwood.
    • Quotes

      Philip Banks: You talk as if I wasn't there with you in Birmingham, facing dogs and firehoses. This is me, Olufemi, the same Olufemi that was with you the night Harlem went up in flames. But now I have a family, and I choose not to fight in the streets. I have an office to fight from, and I have fought and won cases for fair housing, affirmative action, health care and I am not ashamed to write a big fat check for something I believe in, and that doesn't make me any less committed than you! So, don't you dare look down your damn nose at me, Adebola!
