- The Gadfly: Rose manages to get all the way to two bottles left while singing "99 Bottles of Beer" and then abruptly stops, much to Dorothy's outrage. Rose's response?Rose: Just drives you nuts, doesn't it Dorothy?
- Get Out!: Dorothy Brakes Angrily and kicks Rose out of the car after she tries to play "The Name Game" while driving:
- Rose: [singing "The Name Game"] Let's try it now with Dorothy. Dorothy Dorothy bo-borothy, bonana-fana-fo-forothy, fee-fi-mo-morothy...[sound of car screeching to a halt]Dorothy: Get out, Rose.
- Mooning: Sophia does this to a chain gang offscreen.Sophia: Did you see the smiles on their faces? They probably hadn't seen a woman in years!Dorothy: No I guess not. They kept up with us through four warning shots.
- Protest by Obstruction: Blanche handcuffs herself to a radiator in her grandmother's old home, unable to bear letting construction workers tear it down.
- That Was Not a Dream: Sophia briefly goes unconscious after choking and meets Sal in Heaven, thinking that her time has finally come. When she wakes up, she tries to tell Dorothy that Sal has a message for her, but Dorothy waves it off as a simple hallucination brought on by lack of oxygen. However, at the episode's end, Sophia relays the message by calling Dorothy "Spumoni Face," which was a secret nickname that Sal had for Dorothy as a little girl—one that she never shared with her mother, proving that the visitation was real.
