The Book

  • Ceferino Piriz. An intellectual obsessed with listing proposes a new organization for the UN. The organization quickly goes from merely impractical to hilariously insane (proposing administration based on colors, as in all black people will deal with black minerals and keep black animals). Aided by Traveler's snark comments.
  • The Bridge Between Apartments incident.

The Film

  • After tying Cutter to a chair, Kendig calls Ross from a phone booth with an... interesting choice of vocal disguise.
    Kendig: Joe Cutter is tied up! You'd better cut him loose!
    Ross: Who is this?!
    Kendig: This is Eleanor Roosevelt. [hangs up]
  • Kendig rents Myerson's summer house to write his memoirs in. Then once he's finished, calls Isobel and deliberately loses a Phone-Trace Race so that Myerson will send the FBI after him. And then uses a string of firecrackers to get the FBI to demolish the house while he escapes.
