When Mace Sowell (Sir Patrick Stewart) is putting the dummy back in the closet, he straightens his clothes. During the shooting of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), Stewart did this so often, that it came to be called the "Picard Maneuver".
Hank Garrett, who plays the mailman whose pen runs out of ink, played essentially the same role in Three Days of the Condor (1975).
