* NotableNonSequitur: One so subtle that it borders on FridgeBrilliance. In a scene in the dressing room, Roxanne goes to use the bathroom and one of the other strippers tells her "not to leave the seat up again". The strippers have been dissing each other all through the scene, and this sounds like just another friendly insult and is easily missed amidst the dialogue.

So it is entirely possible that some previous he had forgotten and left the toilet eat up]].
