Bernard Black

Manny

Fran

Manny's last name, Bianco (Italian for 'white'), is the obvious counterpart to Bernard Black.

The bookshelf behind Bernard's desk has "Property of St. John and Red Cross Hospital Library Dept" stamped on it.

"Katzenjammer" is a German slang word for hangover, literally meaning "cat-wailing".

Bernard: [selling a book] Enjoy. It's dreadful, but it's quite short.

Bernard: Whores will have their trinkets.
