* BilingualBonus: George talks to a couple of Japanese girls who say something in Japanese and laugh at him. In English it translates to "You are very pretty, you know." [[note]]Either they're saying George looks feminine and are mocking him for it or the writers got the Japanese words for pretty and handsome confused.[[/note]]

* {{Gasshole}}: The watchman in Marseilles docks farts after he heard a strange voice (which actually came from George). This causes George to fall under the hut.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: It usually doesn't take much to fool a guard or escape from a guard in the game. Nico managed to start an elevator generator right next to a bunch of armed guards, and none of them saw fit to ask what she was doing.
