10* AutoErotica: Subverted. Alan drives Barbara Ann to [[MakeOutPoint the local make-out spot]] -- with the express purpose of loudly disrupting the necking couples.
11* DivorceRequiresDeath:
12-->'''Stella Bernard''': In our family we don't divorce our men; we ''bury'' 'em!
13* FashionShopFashionShow: See below.
14* GoodOldFisticuffs: While loudly disrupting couples at the make-out spot, Alan angers a huge muscleman. Alan then affects an old-timey 'fisticuffs' position, the muscleman gleefully goes in for the kill... and Alan beats the stuffings out of him.
15* SexySweaterGirl: Barbara Ann wants sweaters so that she'll fit in with the 'in' crowd, and goes shopping for them with her father. The scene with her trying on the sweaters in front of him is rather disturbing.
