Line 25:
* [[Agony of the Feet]]: This happened during the scene where Russell and Col. Hawthorne fought each other. Both fell victim to this trope.
* [[The Alcoholic]]: Jim Backus as Tyler Fitzgerald, who we first meet suffering from a raging case of [[Hangover Sensitivity]].
{{quote| '''Tyler Fitzgerald:''' ''(flying the plane!)'' You know what I need? I need a drink. There's some ice and stuff back there. Why don't you make us all some Old Fashioneds? <br />
'''Dingy Bell:''' Old Fashioneds?! Do you think you oughta drink while you're flying? <br />
'''Tyler Fitzgerald:''' Well stop kidding, will ya, and make us some drinks! You just press the button back there marked "booze". ''(laughs)'' It's the only way to fly!<ref>[[Shout-Out]] to the [[Slogan]] for Western Airlines.</ref> }}
* [[The Alleged Car|The Alleged Plane]]: Which was built in 1916.
Line 36:
* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]: Culpepper's wife and daughter, as well as the Finch/Marcuses.
* [[Blackmail Is Such an Ugly Word]]: Subverted:
{{quote| '''Police Chief Aloysius:''' "Now you know the word for this, your honor: it's called Blackmail."}}
* [[Brick Joke]]: Melville's insistence in divvying up the money.
* [[Briefcase Full of Money]]: The object of the search.
Line 81:
* [[Oh Crap]]: Dingy and Benjy both get one just before flying the plane through a Coca-Cola billboard.
* [[Only Sane Woman]]: Emmeline Marcus-Finch. Which makes her little talk with Capt. Culpepper surprisingly sad:
{{quote| ''(intercut with the rest of the cast arguing)'' <br />
'''Emmeline:''' Who are you? Are you with the others, the ones that are looking? <br />
'''Culpepper:''' I am, in a way. Aren't you? <br />
'''Emmeline:''' No. I mean, I didn't want anything to do with it right from the start. And you know what? I know where it is. I'm the only one, and I wasn't even looking.<br />
'''Culpepper:''' You know where it is? <br />
'''Emmeline:''' Yes! What should I do? If you help dig it up, you can have half and I'll have half. Is that okay? I mean, is that fair? If I have half of the money... I can go away somewhere where nobody can find me. Not Russell or my mother or Sylvester, anybody. You don't know what that'd mean. And you know what? If I had enough money... I might be able to live in a convent or something. <br />
'''Culpepper:''' I'm sorry, Mrs. Finch. I'm afraid it's too late. I think they've found it.<br />
'''Emmeline:''' It was a nice dream. Lasted almost five minutes. }}
* [[Car Meets House|Plane Meets Restaurant]]
