Build a pretty little castle just for you? Do you want me to light candles and put little ribbons in your hair too?" before June sarcastically asks him if he would braid her hair.
- Geff and Nicole's final lines, in which Geff excitedly states "Well, looks like a quick stop and then Spartanhood!" with Nicole simply responds with a sarcastic "Great.", is in reference to their final lines in Infinity where Geff states "Next stop: the UNSC Infinity!" before Nicole uncertainly says "Great..." in response.
