3* Many of Temple's [[LiteralMinded moments]] where she can't understand figurative language. For example, when she hands a man a piece of paper she got signed that is very filthy:
4-->''"Eugh...looks like half the cattle signed it first!"''
5-->(cut to Temple imagining a bunch of cows and bulls actually signing a piece of paper on a desk.)
6-->''"No sir, cattle can't do that."''
7** The best part of that one is the tone of her voice, which basically sounds like [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "What is this guy smoking?"]]
8** Animal Husbandry. (Cut to Temple imagining a man marrying a cow). Granted ''anyone'' (autistic or otherwise) would probably get the same mental image after hearing that term for the first time--which only serves to make that scene funnier.
9* Dr. Carlock shows the video of the optical illusion in class. When the big twist is unveiled, a wide-eyed Temple jumps to her feet - in front of the projector screen - and yells ''"HOW'D HE DO THAT?!?"''
10* Temple finding a way to sneak into the cattle ranch, since they don't allow women in. She trades in her girlish car for a truck, buys overalls and T-shirts, and spends an afternoon splattering dirt all over the truck and rolling around in the mud so she'd look dirty. IT WORKS.
11* Temple getting upset over her truck being covered in bull testicles, not because it's [[{{Squick}} disgusting and disturbing]] but because it's a waste of meat!
12* Temple narrating ''Series/TheManFromUncle'' for her blind roommate as the other students shush her, which she also narrates and gets a single kernel of popcorn flicked at her.
