After narrowly avoiding pedestrians at the Staples Center, getting stuck in traffic in downtown Los Angeles, and driving into a shop window, Rob takes over the driving.

**In a final cut, there are a few scenes where Stella's red Mini is not shown. This is due to the cutting of a deleted where Stella breaks away from the others to shake off a police car that spots them and tries to give chase.

* TurnInYourBadge: Parodied. Handsome Rob, whilst trying to drive through the city as fast as possible to time the fastest possible escape route, is the second car in line stopped in the left turn lane at a red traffic light (note, this is a green arrow only turn signal). Unfortunately, the driver in front of him is an actor rehearsing the phrase, "Give me your badge and your weapon; I don't want to see you anywhere near this case (pretends to crush cup)" in such a variety of different voices and emphases while reading off the script itself he fails to notice there's a green arrow, until the very last second when it's turning amber and Rob starts shouting "Hey! It's a green!" and honking at him, so he's the only one that gets to go through, with a very disgruntled Rob saying, "Unbelievable!" in disbelief. Also, bonus if you noticed that the actor copies Rob's accent and decides to use that accent for the audition.
