* After the embarrassing display from the hypocritcal Keene and [=MacNutt=], Sid barks at them for disobeying the laws.
** It's also funny that Sid's bellowing is over a group of men wearing underwear, when you think about it logically. Knowing the situation, it wouldn't be surprising if he wasn't wearing underwear under his trousers.
** [=MacNutt=]'s justification:
--->'''S.MJR [=MacNutt=]:''' All I have to say, sir, is that I am only wearing them as a sense of duty.
--->'''Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond:''' ''[scoffs]'' "Sense of duty"?!

--->'''Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond:''' I DON'T CARE IF THEY WERE HAND-EMBROIDERED BY YOUR FATHER!!
