While Mickey (Keith Carradine) is in the bath, Nancy (Geneviève Bujold) searches his luggage and finds: An issue of Yale Quarterly, containing a review of Charles Johnston's translation of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, written by Mickey. An issue of The Stars and Stripes with an article and photograph of Mickey (as Lieutenant), marrying a Colonel's daughter. A photograph of Mickey and his wife at the Officer's Club in Freeslautern, West Germany in 1973. A certificate of The Air Medal, awarded to Mickey by the U.S. President in 1974. A certificate of the Distinguished Service Cross, awarded to Mickey by the U.S. President. Photos of Mickey as a pilot in a cockpit, one labelled "Saigon". Issues of Esquire and Newsweek. Two issues of Pravda and one of Stern with photographs of Mickey, apparently being arrested by security forces. The Stern article headline (roughly) translates as "Spy versus Spy", with a subhead "Which is True?"

When leaving the nightclub after her first visit, Nancy carefully unlocks her car with a key before getting in while talking to the transvestite streetwalker, but then grabs the top of the door panel to close it, revealing that the window had been open all the time.
