** Curt’s grin makes this a SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoment as well. Jules and Curt are a solid couple. They don’t just love each other; they ''like'' each other, and they know how to mess around, tease, and make one another laugh.

* In the film's opening, [[FailedASpotCheck the sheer amount of time it takes]] for Curt to realize that Dana is NotWearingPants.
** Either that or he decided [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl to wait till Dana decides]] to [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn put some clothes on]]. Doesn't make it any less funny though.
** Also Curt, who is tailor-made to look like a jock, turns out to be a sociology major on a full academic scholarship. When he tells Dana not to waste time reading a particular book, he suggests a ''better'' book for that class. It's completely unexpected, but sets the tone nicely for a movie that's all about subverting audience expectations.
