Well, not really." The exchange references John's name change, as his birth name was Reginald Dwight. Apu quotes the names of four of John's songs, "Take Me to the Pilot", "Your Song", "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" and "The Bitch is Back". At the end of the episode, John performs a version of "Your Song" for Apu and Manjula on the roof of the Kwik-E-Mart. The scene is a callback to the season 7 episode "Lisa the Vegetarian", in which Paul McCartney performed on the roof. The scene in which Homer is seen jamming Valentine's Day cards into their holders were based on an observation by the writers. Writer George Meyer said of the scene: "You just see cards get really man-handled, and the envelopes get switched with the wrong sizes." In another scene, Marge and Manjula are seen playing badminton. While the scene was conceived in order to provide exposition, the sport was included because badminton is "very popular" in India, according to writer Ian Maxtone-Graham. The episode also mentions the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's. In a scene, Apu, carrying a shopping bag, exits the jewellery and silverware store Tiffany & Co. Meanwhile, Homer, along with Wiggum, Moe, Flanders and Dr. Hibbert are watching Apu, assuming he bought jewellery for Manjula. It is soon revealed that Apu bought a croissant in the store, to which Wiggum says "Oh, that's right, they have breakfast at Tiffany's now." The heart-shaped fade out at the end of the episode is a reference to the series Love, American Style.
