{{quote|'''Leopold:''' No, no, this will not do.
'''Charlie:''' Wha... Why? What is wrong with this one?
'''Leopold:''' The orange lily implies extreme hatred. The begonia and lavender danger and suspicion, respectively. Every flower has a meaning, Charles. Might I suggest the amaryllis, which declares the recipient a most splendid beauty. Or the cabbage rose. }}
* [[Gentleman and a Scholar]]: Leopold admires men of accomplishment and is working on inventing the elevator.
* [[Have a Gay Old Time]]: Stuart just couldn't keep from chuckling at all the talk of erections...

* [[I Am One of Those, Too]]: Pwned.
* [[I Gave My Word]]: Marriage is the promise of eternal love and as a man of honor, Leopold can not promise eternally what he has never felt momentarily.
* [[Impoverished Patrician]]: Leopold has no money, which is why his uncle pressures him to marry a rich American. He complains about it in the beginning but in the end he understands that there are some things that a person just needs to do.
* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]:
** Imagine the look on a purse-snatcher's face when Leo rides him down on horseback.
{{quote|'''Leopold:''' I warn you scoundrel, I was trained at the King's Academy and schooled in weaponry by the palace guard. You stand no chance. When you run, I shall ride, when you stop, the steel of this strap shall be lodged in your brain.
''[bag snatcher throws down the bag and flees, onlookers applaud]'' }}
** Leopold believes that Kate requires a chaperone on her date with her boss so he offers to go with her to protect her from his obvious intentions. When she refuses he tells her boss, "Some feel that to court a woman in one's employ is nothing more than a serpentine effort to transform a lady to a whore."

* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]: No, Leopold cannot stay in the present in the long run!
* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: Kate says that Leopold's handsome, honest, courteous. Stands when you walk in a room. Brings you brioche in bed. She realizes that he is someone who came along who knew exactly what she wanted without asking.
* [[Stable Time Loop]]: It is implied that Leo's line wouldn't have continued successfully if he hadn't met Kate. (His old house {{spoiler|is a school when he's in our present with Kate, but a proper mansion after he returns to his own time}}.) That wouldn't have happened if Stuart hadn't gone back in time and accidentally brought him to the present.
* [[Time Travel Romance]]: A romantic comedy example.
