* TheDiseaseThatShallNotBeNamed: Shadwell goes to a doctor because he's having headaches; he leaves talking about a "death sentence" and making plans for his own funeral. The words "brain cancer" are never said.
* DrowningMySorrows: After finding out that he has terminal brain cancer, Shadwell goes to a restaurant and orders six double scotches (they won't let him order a bottle). Frances, who has found out his secret, meets him at the restaurant and orders six double scotches herself.

* NaiveNewcomer: Maria, the new arrival to Italy and the USDA, serves as an exposition sink, with Anita explaining the setting and introducing characters to her and to the audience.
* NonIndicativeName: Only two coins are thrown into the fountain. The whole idea is to wish to return to Rome, and Anita, since she's soon going home for good, declines to throw a coin.
