* TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour: The film begins with a flashback to Elliot and Beverly as 9-year-old children, discussing the evolutionary basis for sexual reproduction in humans. It works as an EstablishingCharacterMoment for how connected Elliot and Beverly are to one another yet completely at odds with the rest of society and culminates in one of the few funny moments in the film:
-->'''Elliot''': Raffaella, [[ItMakesSenseInContext will you have sex with us in our bathtub]]? [[ForScience It's an experiment]].
-->'''Raffaella''': Are you kidding?! [[FromTheMouthsOfBabes Fuck off, you freaks]]! I'm telling my father you talk dirty. Besides, I know for a fact you don't even know what a fuck is. ''*storms off*''
-->'''Elliot''': They're so different from us. And all because we don't live under water.
