* [[Dramatic Gun Cock]]: [[Overly Long Gag|Drawn out to an obscene length]] when [[Extended Disarming|the entire Kwanzaa Liberation Front draws and cocks their weapons]] when Carver enters their building.

And afterward they will decide for themselves if they want to continue their religious studies in Israel because we will have practiced a highly effective assertive democratic style of child rearing, sprinkled with a healthy dose of liberalism. On a daily basis, I want you to tell me what to do, where to do it, and how I should live my [[Precision F

** When Adam Goldberg was first given the script, he opened to a random page, saw the line, and immediately agreed to do the film.
