* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Bennington drives past Mr. Skinner's car, which is half on, half of the road, has its windshield smashed, one door torn completely off, and what appears to be its owner's bloodstained clothing littering the immediate surroundings. Admittedly, Bennington is a huge {{JerkAss}}, but Lorna, who is with him and a much more sensible, levelheaded and compassionate person, ''also'' reacts to it as though it's simply an ordinary broken down car and not clearly the site of a grisly, violent death.
