''Museum Curator'': "Oui, monsieur. [[Accidental Innuendo|Most impressive!]]"}}

* [[Hawaiian-Shirted Tourist]]: Duane -: either a [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]], or just a Moron...
** George also dons a colourful shirt when heading for tropical climes.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Bruno in ''The Sleeping Dragon''}}.
