Actor Allusion: At a party, Gil entertains the other guests with some celebrity impressions. After doing impressions of John Barrymore and John Gilbert, someone calls out "Robin Hood!". Gil proceeds to do a scarily accurate impression of...Douglas Fairbanks Jr.'s father Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood, including the famous pose◊ of Douglas Senior brandishing a mug of beer. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| Our Modern Maidens / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: Billie comforts a weepy Kentucky by saying "You'll be so happy...when you meet the man you love." Of course Kentucky has met the man she loves, namely Gil, whom Billie is marrying that day. And Billie has also met her real true love, Glenn. | |
