    • Followed by blackmailing Roy Cohn with evidence of his homosexuality, which still has Cohn claiming the mole was never found long afterwards.
  • Roy Cohn punching George Rockwell after being condescendingly called a "good Jew."
    • And ruining his presidential bid by knowing how to take a punch.
  • Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Jean-Luc Godard, and Charlie Chaplin teaming up to create their own film studio. There's an all-star roster for you.
    • It gets better in "When You Wish Upon a Star:" Ed Wood convinces Welles to make a movie of Batman.
