- Pivert's reactions to the mixed marriage and the subsequent Ash Face / Blackface gag, with a wedding guest thinking he's the black bride's father.

- Pivert finding out his kidnapper expects to become the Prime Minister of his country:Pivert: I am very proud to shake the revolver of a Prime Minister!(Note that Pivert is driving, with Slimane's gun pointed at him, and he still lets go of the wheel to give the gun a handshake)
- Pivert's wife (a dentist) is giving a consultation... in her dress clothes.
- Pivert is forced to call his wife and give her the news that he's taking a plane... with a woman. When the furious wife demands to know What's She Got That I Ain't Got?!, Pivert gives a physical description of Slimane ("She's got... big hairy hands... big feet... frizzy hair... and a big mustache.")... that is apparently a perfect match for a (female) acquaintance of theirs.Germaine: Therèse Leduc? But she's sixty-five.
Pivert: EXACTLY! For thirty years she's been in love with me, she doesn't have a phone, and she STAYS OFF MY CASE! [slams the phone back down, realizes what he just did]
Pivert: Did you see that?
Slimane: What?
Pivert: I hung up on her! - Pivert, being driven through the Jewish district at the Rue des Rosiers, in rabbi disguise, starts blessing everyone with the sign of the cross.
- Pivert and Salomon have a mutual recognition moment as he is being dragged around as Rabbi Jacob.Salomon: Rabbi, I have a question. My boss just fired me because I don't work on Saturdays. What should I do?

Salomon: Will he double my wages?
Pivert-as-Rabbi Jacob: He'll tell you yes!
Salomon: Will he triple them?
Pivert-as-Rabbi Jacob: He'll... tell you no. - Pivert keeping up during the Hasidic dance, much to Salomon's surprise.
- Some policemen take off their hats in order to be respectful in the synagogue "because it's like a church."note Cue them confusedly tapping their heads at all of the Jews tapping their own heads to indicate to them to put their hats back on.
