3	!! The original book
4	* Pierre Gringoire is discussing his marriage to Esmeralda with Frollo, whilst at the same time discussing how fond the goat Djali has become of him.
5	-->“And do you swear to me that you have not touched her?”
6	-->“Whom?” said Gringoire; “the goat?”

8	!!The Stage Musical
9	* In the American adaptation of the musical, Frollo and Captain Phoebus meet during the Festival of Fools. Frollo holds his hand out to Phoebus, and Phoebus, not sure if he wants him to kiss it or shake it, alternates between moving his head down to his hand and lifting his own hand to it. He ends up kissing his hand.
10	** This moment gets a nice CallBack during "In A Place of Miracles" when [[TheLeader Clopin]] holds his hand out to him, but this time, Phoebus [[{{CharacterDevelopment}} confidently shakes it]].
11	* When Esmeralda chases Quasimodo up into the bell tower, he panics and looks for a place to hide. Where does he hide? ''In plain sight,'' pretending to be a gargoyle.
12	* Like the film, Quasi and Phoebus have a bit of snarky love-hate relationship with each other, leading to some amusing exchanges.
13	-->'''Phoebus:''' I have to find Esmeralda, I have to warn her and the others!
14	-->'''Quasimodo:''' ''You''? No, I!
15	-->'''Phoebus:''' You? How can you possibly? You can hardly speak!
16	-->'''Quasimodo:''' ''You can barely '''walk'''''.
17	** In the Paper Mills Production, Quasimodo is later handed his red cloak by a member of the chorus. Phoebus has to resort to snatching one off of a passing chorus member - the exact same one who offered Quasi his cloak.
18	* Near the beginning of the part where Frollo and the guards search the brothel for Esmeralda, the brothel owner notes "Ah! Captain Phoebus. Nice to see you again". Cue an embarrassed Phoebus turning a 180 on his heel and walking stage left.
19	* Its definitely dark, but that part in "Rhythm of the Tambourine" where Esmeralda says "it's just a dance- hey, what can it hurt?" is kind of funny in hindsight once you realize that dance set off a major part of the conflict of the show.
20	* In the White Plains Performing Arts Center production, when Quasi tells Esmeralda about how he talks to the gargoyles, the congregants, portraying said gargoyles, feign ignorance and whistle innocently.
