Didja Notice?

While on the phone with the Village Voice, Number 6 is forced to refer to himself as Number 6 in order to get anywhere. During his second call, he sarcastically identifies himself as 666, "...I'm the devil in disguise!" 666 is the number of the beast in the Bible's Book of Revelation. A real Number 666 appears in the original series novel Miss Freedom.

In the darkness, Number 9 encourages Number 6 over the phone to try to picture his environment in order to "see" it. Number 6 then remarks, "You'll have me trying to guess playing cards next," to which Number 9 responds, "No...I think that's worn off." This is a reference to the events of "The Schizoid Man".

Number 6 remarks that the powers-that-be are able to make duplicate human bodies from a sample of skin. This refers back to the clone of Number 6 who appears in "The Schizoid Man".
