Line 10:
* [[Did Not Get the Girl]]: Charity. And she came so close! The circumstances change depending on which ending the production you see is using (there are three) but the fact is, Oscar and Charity do not wind up together.
* [[Eleven O Clock Number]]: 'I Love To Cry At Weddings'
* [[Fire -Forged Friends]]: Charity and Oscar spend hours trapped in an elevator together while Oscar has a nervous breakdown and Charity has to attempt to calm him. They leave the elevator already a little bit in love!
* [[First Kiss]]: At the end of Charity and Oscar's first date, they stand together awkwardly and a sign (in the original production) lights up saying 'The First Kiss!' It doesn't happen.
* [[Hooker With a Heart of Gold]]: Charity, Nicki, Helene and all the girls in the dance hall. Very few of them seem to be actualy prostitutes (Charity specifically says all she sells is her time,) they all still are caring people, especially prevalent in the 'I love to cry at weddings' scene.
Line 19:
{{quote| '''Helene''' You run your heart like a hotel. You got guys checking in and out all the time.}}
* [[No Antagonist]]: Charity's kind of her own worst enemy...
* [[One -Scene Wonder]]: Daddy Brubeck, (Sammy Davis, Jr. in [[The Movie]]) who sings Rhythm of Life and is never heard from again, yet his song is one of the most famous in the show.
* [[Original Cast Precedent]]: Bob Fosse decided Gwen Verdon would wear a [[Little Black Dress]] for the whole show, just becuase he liked the way she looked in it. This dress has now become the standard Charity costume. She'll occasionally wear red for her scenes in the dance hall, but other than that, you'd be hard pressed to find a Charity who doesn't wear it for at least a few scenes.
* [[Pair the Spares]]: Doesn't actually happen, but Nicki lampshades it.
