* Richard having to maintain his dignity with nothing but a face-washer when a real estate agent and his clients barge into the bathroom while he's having a bath. [[spoiler:Lucky for his decency, he's basically totally invisible to Abovers at this point.]]

* The Marquis being a {{Troll}} to Richard when they first meet, and afterwards telling Door that he hears that the words "really," "big," and "favour," were used, in the correct order.
