Trivia
During the meeting with "Lou DiMaggio" and his crew, they tell Sil and Christopher how they once killed a man named Tommy Neri. The hitman named Frank is played by none other than Richard Bright, who played "Al Neri" in The Godfather (1972) trilogy--films mentioned countless times in the series.

Goofs
While Ralph is supposedly in Miami, he rides in an elevator where an inspection certificate that says "City of New York Department of Buildings" is clearly visible.

Quotes
Tony Soprano: Twenty years I've been friends with John. Now he's gotta go.
Christopher Moltisanti: All over a stupid joke.
Ralph Cifaretto: [to Silvo, Christopher and Tony] I was fuckin' around for chrissakes! You never made a joke about Ginny Sack?
Tony Soprano: Of course not.
Silvio Dante: No, never.
Christopher Moltisanti: Not like that.
Ralph Cifaretto: Yeah, well fuck him and his highfalutin bullshit. Who does he think he is, Sir Walter Raleigh?
Tony Soprano: That's enough of you and your stupid fucking remarks! Go back to Miami and play volleyball, or whatever the fuck it is you do down there, while we clean up your fucking mess! Maybe, even keep your ass alive.

What's wrong with the soprano!

I'm mad at Tony, how could he think of killing John and leaving Ralph alive! Ralph deserves to die, and I think he's close. If John dies, the episode's rating will drop to 5 .. John is better than Ralph by a huge difference.. and John had the right to kill Ralph.. if Tony were in John's place, he would have killed Ralph in seconds for the sake of Carmela and his family. And he wouldn't think for a second about keeping Ralph alive for the money I didn't like the episode because Tony wasn't fair. And I think the end of Ralph at the hands of Tony because Tony does not love him, but he keeps him for the money .. There are many people instead of Ralph, it really bothers me.
