Serious Business | |
| Liberty Heights / int_6b35bdff | comment |
Serious Business: When Sylvia's father drives Ben home, Ben won't step out of the car until the Frank Sinatra song finishes playing on the radio, because, as he says, "You don't walk out on Frank, sir. You see, it would be too disrespectful." | |

Appeal to Flattery: Little Melvin is able to charm the woman at the Royal into letting him in without paying. Scribbles, Little Melvin's bodyguard, tries to charm the woman as well by telling her how pretty she looks. For him, it doesn't work, and she won't let him in without paying. | |

Troubled, but Cute | |
| Liberty Heights / int_d22a7df2 | comment |
Troubled, but Cute: Dubbie is a rare female version. Van is in love with her as soon as he sees her, but as her ex-boyfriend Trey tells him, she's "dangerous - handle with care", which Van finds out when she gets drunk, starts laughing and then starts crying for no discernible reason. | |

Backfire on the Witness Stand | |
| Liberty Heights / int_d24c24ed | comment |
Backfire on the Witness Stand: Played for Laughs; when Van is called on to testify at a trial involving Trey's drunk driving accident, and is being sworn in as a witness, to the question, "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?", he answers, "No." (this is done to help the defendant). Needless to say, the trial ends in a mistrial. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Liberty Heights / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: Ben does this twice: First, he decides to dress up as Adolf Hitler for Halloween. Needless to say, his parents won't allow him to go out unless he changes his costume. Then, near the end, when he and his friends go to the public pool they were barred from because they were Jewish (see Brick Joke above), the three of them spell out "Jew" on their chests. | |
