* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: When discovering Jake's schemes to get them back together, Holt and Kevin accuse him as doing a "''[[Literature/LottieAndLisa Das Doppelte Lottchen]]''." When he doesn't get what they mean, Holt describes it as "a German novel about a set of twins who try to reunite their estranged parents," which Jake then immediately identifies as ''[[Film/TheParentTrap1961 The Parent Trap]].'' While ''The Parent Trap'' was indeed based on ''Das Doppelte Lottchen,'' and most Americans don't know that there even was a book... the problem here is that Holt is actually describing the ''movie'' more than the book. The movie had the "KidsPlayMatchmaker for their estranged parents" as its most prominent theme and the central goal... the book, though? Given how it was written in 1949, when kids were expected to stay out of their parents' affairs, the twins' real goal is just to get to ''know'' their respective parents, and they never really play matchmaker or scheme to get their parents back together. Sure, they may ''hope'' for a reconciliation (and get terribly distressed when the father gets involved with another woman), but they view this more as an impossibly distant dream and not a goal they have any realistic chance of reaching. The parents actually get together on their own accord with very little direct involvement from the kids.
