* [[Drunken Song]]: "Der Kleine Franz".
* [[Duet Bonding]]: The entire purpose of "Mountain Duet" was to establish the relationship between Florence and Anatoly.
* [[Duet Mood Dissonance]]: "I Know Him So Well". Florence and Anatoly's wife both sing about how well they understand his needs and motivations... and may as well be describing two entirely different men.
* [[Dysfunction Junction]]: World chess championships apparently attract emotionally crippled [[Jerkass]] manchildren, women with abandonment issues, and self-absorbed adulterers. As Svetlana characterizes them: "Esoterics, paranoids, hysterics."
** This is, to a degree, [[Truth in Television]] -- the roster of chess champions is not exactly a list of the emotionally balanced. See [[Crazy People Play Chess]] above.
