Line 18:
'''Room 309 - The Misbehavers'''
A Mexican gangster and his wife decide to leave their kids at the room for the night while they go to a party. Rather than call a babysitter, they pay Ted five hundred dollars to tend to them and make sure they don't misbehave. [[
Written and directed by [[Robert Rodriguez]].
Line 27:
Written and directed by [[Quentin Tarantino]].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adam Westing]]: Antonio Banderas plays a parody of his usual Mexican [[Badass]] role.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't call Ted "Theodore".
** And don't call that ''whore'' a whore!
* [[Cluster F
* [[Crying Wolf]]: The reason Ted doesn't believe the kids when they call him to report an actual emergency.
* [[Depending On the Writer]]: Ted's characterization changes quite a bit between segments.
* [[Enfant Terrible]]: The two kids in The Misbehavers.
* [[Hey
* [[How Unscientific]]: Evoked by The Missing Ingredient, which includes what is definitely magic in an otherwise realistic film.
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: After "The Misbehavers", Ted calls up his co-worker Betty to bring her up to speed (first having a conversation with her equally [[Cloudcuckoolander|"loopy"]] roommate).
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
* [[Shout Out]]: The aforementioned episode of ''[[Alfred Hitchcock Presents (TV)|Alfred Hitchcock Presents]]'', which in turn was an adaptation of a [[Roald Dahl]] story.
* [[Signature Style]]: Each short is meant to communicate their writer/director's talents. Odds are very good one is not watching the film for the first two directors, though.
* [[The Cameo]]: [[Bruce Willis (Creator)]] refused money (and creditation) for his role in "The Man From Hollywood" as a Thank You to Tarantino for casting him in ''[[Pulp Fiction]]''.
* [[Tranquil Fury]]: Ted when describing the events of the night to Betty. See the [[Humiliation Conga]] example.
* [[Understatement]]: At the end of The Misbehavers, the father asks if his children misbehaved as all hell breaks loose in the room.
