* FriendsRentControl: How does Charly, a full-time art student, afford her luxury apartment in New York City? Mark evidently wasn't helping out with rent because she couldn't have [[ForcedFromTheirHome kicked him to the curb]] so easily if his name was on the lease.

* HilariousInHindsight: Charly is surprised that Sam voted for "a soil grubbing global warming corporate puppet". The scene is meant to show how they're coming from different political backgrounds.
