* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Bart hands off envelopes to Milhouse, Nelson, and Martin that contain a phony excuse to excuse their upcoming weeklong absence from home. Nelson being [[TheBully Nelson]] and his mother being a [[ParentalNeglect stripper]], [[NotEvenBotheringWithAnExcuse just tells her what he's planning on doing, walks out, wads up the envelope, throws it away and walks away with no comments or resistance from her.]]

* ArtisticAge: Ten-year-old Bart has virtually no problems with driving the rental car, actually driving it very well like a responsible adult would. Then again, he was shown to [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS2E20TheWarOfTheSimpsons be able to operate a vehicle as far back as when he was a baby]].

* TemptingFate: Bart points out the train he, Milhouse, Martin and Nelson want to catch goes through Springfield. They toss their bags on board, but then it picks up speed and they can't catch it.

* TemptingFate: After the group arrives in Knoxville, Bart remarks that at least they still have a car and a wad of cash. Thirty seconds later, they have neither: Martin reveals they've just run out of money, and Nelson throwing a rock at the Sunsphere causes it to fall over and crush the car.

Added DiffLines:

* EasyComeEasyGo: Downplayed with Martin. While with his stock-broker dad at work, his dad gives him some money to see if he can make a profit in stocks. Martin promptly puts it all in soy products and swiftly gains a million dollars when other investors quickly jump on the wagon, only for it to quickly crash, but he still makes a profit of 600$.
-->'''Martin's Dad''': You got greedy, son.
