Or was it Izzy to C&T referring to the two big goons in By Hooker by Crook. "Godzilla and Rodan came by..."

None of the above!  Remember my clue. This Godzilla is seen, not spoken by anyone.

This isn't Capt. Lou albino or whatever his name was towering down the corridor?

Nope, we actually see Godzilla. In fact (hint)  it's a collection of Godzillas.

I know exactly what you are referring to here, but so far cannot place the scene. :evil:

Yup!  There are a bunch of little Godzilla toys there, even the one Crockett is holding.

Next word: Payola  ( not the musical group)

(extra points if you know what it was in the context of the ep)

I know "payola" is a record biz term--on the shady side, so "Like a Hurricane" comes to mind. I'll guess Caitlin while explaining things to Crockett after the Scarab gets "shot to hell"?

Right ep but not spoken by Caitlin.

Anyone know the Payola usage?

Said by Gordon Wiggins to Paul in

"Like A Hurricane" 

Concerning the possible Senate Hearings on "Payola" scandals that were happening.

Correct, said by Wiggins. Payola was tied into the record industry as nofretz suggested and was more specifically the practice of record promoters paying DJs or radio programmers to play their labels' songs, and there were other forms of payoffs. It was literally "pay for play" and we saw that payoff in the opener of Like A Hurricane.

I've often wondered if this was a play on the word "Victorola", as that used to be a household word. Similarly, today, you could put an "i" in front of almost any noun, and almost anyone would know you were referencing a piece of technology (even if it was fictional, like "iCar").

Good point as that was the trend back in the day, to add "ola" to a name. For instance, the origin of Motorola in the 1920s when they built the first car radio. At the time there was a trend in naming brands and it was to put the suffix –ola at the end, e.g. Moviola, Pianola, Victrola, Crayola. Since the radio was for the car, they went for the word motor. This led to the new brand name Motorola – a name that was so successful that Howard Galvin made it the new company name.
