Penguins of Madagascar Question

What’s with the title of “The Falcon and the Snow Job”?

Does the title of this episode make sense, or is it just me? I can understand the “falcon” part of it, but I have no clue about the “snow” part. It never snowed in the episode, and I don’t think the word was even said in it.

So, am I missing something? Am I the only one who doesn’t get the title?

...I'm going with yesricokaboom, because I was aware that there was a movie called The Falcon and the Snowman before I watched that episode. Also I'd like to point out that the second episode title, The Penguin Stays in the Picture, is also related to a movie about a photographer, it's called The Kid Stays in the Picture.

Maybe the 'snow' part has to do with Skipper, since (most) penguins come from a snowy, icey environment...? I don't know, it's just a random guess. but im also not sure about the 'job' part. hmm...

Well, back before the episode aired, I figured that perhaps the falcon crash-landed because of a snowstorm or something like that. Or that there might be a mission called “Operation: Snow Job.”

There is a spy/espionage movie called "The Falcon and the Snowman". Also, what Cornflak said.

That was weird. Maybe it is some song title or jibe we don't know of. There was no snow. When I think of Snow Job I think Zamboni.

I agree, SJF. I don't get the title either. I mean, what IS a snow-job? Is it something to do with romance or something? Couldn't it just be called The Falcon? Then again, that's too boring.

The definition of Snow job is to fool someone by using flattery or sweet talk.

Ooohhh. I see. Look at me, I love my dictionary and I'm not looking up the definition of snow-job.
