* SeinfeldianConversation: Just about any conversation with Ruben is guaranteed to go off an a tangent that makes sense to no one but Ruben, and usually leaves his partners wondering how they ended up here. One example of this is when Junior and Ruben are driving back from the ransom pickup and Junior tries to make a point about TheCaper by referring to the Creator/ErrolFlynn picture ''Film/ObjectiveBurma''. Before he can finish his point, Ruben interrupts to ask if Errol Flynn as gay. This then segues into a long story about his mother and why he hates old movies ever since her learned Creator/RockHudson and Creator/CaryGrant were gay. [[spoiler:Especially poignant as it is Ruben's last conversation, as Junior shoots him the head partway through.]]
