Love Dodecahedron: Toddy is initially involved with Richard, who starts seeing bit-character Simone. King and Norma are together, but once they get to Paris, Norma goes after Toddy and King falls for "Victor", with Victoria reciprocating King's feelings. Toddy, for his part, seems taken with Squash. The stage version goes even further by making Toddy explicitly attracted to King and implying that he and Andre had been...close. The Love Dodecahedron does get resolved, but not to everyone's liking. | |

And again, when he begins a secret relationship with "Victor", as King knows all too well they cannot be intimate in public for homosexuality was in a sin. Because he was a gangster and it was 1930s Paris. King's bodyguard Squash confesses to suffering this all prior to his coming out and he did his best by excelling at sports to hide his homosexuality. | |

| Victor/Victoria / int_716d9138 | comment |
Bar Brawl: "Victor" accidentally starts a brawl by accidentally pulling off a woman's wig after intentionally tripping one of her companions. In the ensuing chaos, she even accidentally punches King. In the film version, Toddy gets fired early in the film after indirectly causing a bar fight in Chez Lui, King later starts a bar brawl intentionally in order to feel more masculine: he orders milk, and when one of the tough guys sarcastically asks him if he's ordering cow's milk or mother's milk, King replies, "How about your sister's?". | |

Fly in the Soup: At the beginning of the film, Victoria plots to use a cockroach she found in her room to scam a restaurant—she's flat broke and hasn't eaten in days (her other idea having been to sleep with her landlord for some spaghetti and meatballs). Toddy drops in and decides to help, but the manager and waiter have both seen this trick before and argue until the roach escapes and crawls up a different woman's leg. In the ensuing mass panic, the restaurant is wrecked, and Victoria and Toddy make their escape. | |

Cross-Dressing Voices | |
| Victor/Victoria / int_d18955e7 | comment |
Crossdressing Voices: When in the disguise of polish count and drag queen Victor, Victoria's voice is lower. When as Victoria, her voice is higher. | |

If It's You, It's Okay | |
| Victor/Victoria / int_d31da2e3 | comment |
If It's You, It's Okay: Invoked by King after escaping a bar fight with "Victor". King finds himself romantically attracted to Victoria and is conflicted about it after discovering Victoria is actually a professional drag queen named "Victor". Eventually, he decides he doesn't care about the gender, he just wants "Victor". | |

Over-the-Shoulder Carry: King does to Norma, promptly carrying her over his shoulder to the bedroom in an attempt to assert his manhood and heterosexuality and make love to her. Unfortunately... | |

Soap Punishment: King washes Norma's mouth out with soap after she warns he might become "impudent"note impotent from thoughts of Victor, driving her into such a rage that she attacks with a halberd which, decorative or not, still breaks through a door. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: King leaves after seeing "Victor" once again take his wig off after the performance of "The Shady Dame From Seville". As King is infatuated with his persona Victoria but is uncomfortable with the reality that he's actually a gay male drag queen. | |

Didn't See That Coming: When King, Squash, and Norma see Victoria's first performance, King is smitten by the beautiful female singer and Norma isn't pleased with this. Then at the end, Victoria removes the wig and appears to be "Victor." King is shocked and Norma just laughs and starts cheering loudly. | |

All Women Are Lustful: Norma, who whines about wanting to make love with King when they were together, and when she mistakenly believes that "Victor" is about to sexually harass her (in reality, it was Victoria undressing to show her true gender), her first thought is to have "him" lock the door. | |

Selma, Andre Cassel's secretary, engages in some snappy back-and-forth with the people who want to see her boss. Squash's job is to keep King from getting hurt, not to do anything for his ego. | |

Brick Joke: During King' first night at the hotel Norma states she's worried that Squash, the bodyguard, will break in while they're making love. "Oh he'd only do that if he heard something unusual; like if I got excited!". Squash does just that when an orgasmic moan escapes from King's room as he's making love to Victoria. Toddy's love for theatre and crossdressing. It helps save Victoria and King from the mafia and authorities at the end when they arrive looking for "Victor" suspecting "him" of fraud and Toddy fills in for the role of "Victor". | |
