* NoMoreForMe: To keep the audience from getting TakenForGranite, Dr. Lao sets up a mirror so the audience can see Medusa's reflection instead of looking at her directly.

Later, when the shrewish Mrs. Lindquist looks at her head-on and is turned to stone, the drunkard tosses the bottle away before fleeing with the rest of the crowd.
