Cultural References
When Senior is reading off his "love poem" to Mrs. Load, he says, "Together we'll chase it 'round perdition's flame," which is a reference to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In that movie, Ricaro Montalban (Senior's VA)'s Khan threatens to chase Admiral Kirk basically all over space, so it's... odd that it was repurposed as a sketchy love poem.
Additonally, Khan is paraphrasing Captain Ahab (from Moby Dick, of course).
