General clarification on work content, Fixing formatting I get the sense Dr. Krunklehorn was a separate character entry or some tropes were taken from the main page, but it seems to make the most sense to just do unmarked spoilers when tropes applying to Dr. Krunklehorn are under Lucille's folder header.

Neither character is a Walking Spoiler; you can mention multiple details about them without spoiling the movie. The character's very existence has to be a spoiler for the character to qualify.

* MustHaveCaffeine: Her invention of the caffeine patch qualifies as this. While talking in the present day, she ends up screaming that she hasn't slept in eight days. Mr. Willerstein awkwardly asks if she would like a cot, but Lucille says no, explaining she has the caffeine patch. Slapping one on Mr. Willerstein's head, she lifts up her sleeve to reveal a set of patches on her arm. She then goes on to explain that her invention is the equivalent to ''12 cups of coffee'' with no side effects, before screaming out of nowhere and quickly apologizing.
