  • Carl’s access through ceiling vents seems to make the elaborate voice-password operation unnecessary.
  • Movie vents are criticized as implausibly spacious, clean, and accessible.
  • Marty is questioned for never checking what happened to Cosmo; his fugitive status is offered in defense.
  • Cosmo’s redistribution plan seems inconsistent with his wealth, threats, and violence.
  • Redford and McDonnell’s nearly identical feathered hair is mocked.
  • Liz’s computer-dating remark unnecessarily exposes the operation, although it fits her irritated cover persona.
  • Crease requests first-class airfare but neglects lodging and other travel expenses.
