• Papillon: Amy's mention of Steve McQueen after being locked up in the FME room probably refers to the movie Papillon, starring McQueen, from Henri Charrière's purportedly autobiographical novel about a minor Parisian criminal who is wrongly convicted of murder and sent to the harsh penal colony in French Guiana, where he suffers inhuman treatment, including years of solitary confinement, and undertakes numerous escape attempts.

Amy: That was cool, felt like Steve McQueen.
