comment |
Limited Wardrobe: Mrs. Carillon wore purple-flowered clothes on her wedding day, and she wore a purple-flowered swimsuit on the day she met Noel so he would recognize her. Since his disappearance, she wears exclusively purple-flowered clothes so he can recognize her if they meet again. When she moves into an apartment, she buys purple-flowered wallpaper, drapes, and furniture, so people can hardly tell her apart from the background. |

Waving Signs Around |

comment |
Waving Signs Around: Mrs. Carillon and the twins watch a baseball game on TV, where fans hold banners that say things like "Massapequa Loves the Mets." Mrs. Carillon tells the twins to look for "Noel Carillon Loves the Mets." When Mrs. Carillon is arrested for yelling "Fire" in Bloomingdale's (she was on the up escalator, she thought she saw Noel on the down escalator, and she needed everyone on the up escalator to turn around so she could follow him), Tina and Tony recruit a bunch of hippies for a protest march in front of the Women's House of Detention. They wave signs that say things like "WOMEN'S HOUSE OF DETENTION IS A PEST-HOLE" and "GRAPE MRS. CARILLON," written on a sign left over from the grape workers' boycott. |
