* SeinfeldianConversation: Right before they're arrested, Peter, Cleveland, Joe and Quagmire play a game of 'Would You Rather' with the choices being a hobo with a 5% chance of being inherited by a rich man or Hitler two years before his death. Rather than choose, the guys asks questions regarding the circumstances of their choice, such as where they'd sleep, what state the hobo would be in, if as Hitler they can alter certain policies and if they'd still be crippled as a hobo.
