* TheScrappy: Paula, who's cheating on her fiancee with Renault. He shows remorse for this, but she doesn't. The movie tries to depict her sympathetically but it's still a silly girl cheating on a perfectly nice boy. Kitty avoids this, despite doing the same thing - as the movie goes out of its way to show that she and her husband are equally rotten people, and it's implied she's going to be blackmailed by her maid.

--> '''Kitty:''' I was reading a book the other day.
--> ''Carlotta stops in shock''.
--> '''Carlotta:''' Reading a ''book''?
--> '''Kitty:''' It was all about civilisation or something nutty like that. Do you know it says that machinery is going to take the place of ''every'' profession?
--> ''Carlotta looks Kitty up and down.''
--> '''Carlotta:''' Oh my dear, that's something you need never worry about.
** Kitty and Dan kicking each other in the ass (but ''discreetly'') as they wait to go in the dining room.
