Bavarian Fire Drill: Brantley plays the part of a mid-level executive so well that no one catches on to what he's doing. It helps that his mailroom job lets him go anywhere in the building unnoticed, talk to almost anyone, and observe the workings of the corporation in a way that the other executives can't. | |

Anticipatory Lipstick: Brantley makes the mistake of complimenting the looks of his boss' wife when she's feeling unattractive. As "Oh Yeah" by Yello plays, the boss' wife prepares to seduce him (to his dismay) as she applies her lipstick. | |
