Added DiffLines:
* AndYouWereThere: Mabel is visiting a pirate-themed seaside amusement park in the real world scenes, and all the characters who appear in the dream are analogues to people seen there. The pirates (including Frederic) are stunt performers, the Major-General is an ice cream vendor offering the flavor "Pirate's Gold", and Mabel's sisters are airheaded, conventionally pretty fellow tourists who stick ''her'' with all the grunt work.
Added DiffLines:
* ProductPlacement: UsefulNotes/McDonalds gets this early on -- Mabel has to pick up lunch from there for ''all'' of her shallow "friends" and while she's busy getting it they decide to waylay Frederic's real-world analogue.
