The title of Andrew's play/movie, "Yo, Brother, Where Art Thou?", is based on the film-within-a-film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" from "Sullivan's Travels."
When Amos is saying "You give me a helicopter, I give you a hostage.You give me the million dollars, that's another hostage..", the police chief interrupts him and says, "Yeah, yeah, I saw the movie." Amos' line is more or less the same line that Sonny has in Dog Day Afternoon when he's negotiating with the cops.
