    The Burns Cage

    Artwork at Mr. Burns' office:

    Picture of Burns looking like Putin

    "Nude Descending A Staircase" with Mr. Burns. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nude_Descending_a_Staircase,_No._2

    "Liberty Leading the People" with Mr. Burns. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Leading_the_People

    "The Grand Odalisque" with Mr. Burns.

    I assume the next one is "The Luncheon on the Grass" with Burns and Smithers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_D%C3%A9jeuner_sur_l%E2%80%99herb

    The last painting and the sculpture are too highbrow for me to recognize.

    The bit with Burns looking out the window through the blinds reminded me of Blofeld at the secret base in the volcano in "You Only Live Twice"

    Mr. Largo was getting a marriage license. Or a fishing license. We cannot tell.

    According to the "Come with me to Habana" map, Springfield is somewhere in Missouri?

    Mr. Burns' face resembles the face of the "Buzzard of Death". Whatever that is.

    "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and "The African Queen" have references near the
    end of the episode. The new student was Bogart, Willie was Walter Huston, and Moe must have been Tim Holt.
