In the scrapbook of the opening sequence, there is a page with "First day at Harvard" spelled out in Scrabble pieces. The value of the tiles are not correct Scrabble values, as A has a value of 2 (should be 1), V has a value of 12 (instead of 4), R is 7 (instead of 1), etc.

How Bad? Sooooooo Bad

Reese Goes to Washington. We discover that, beneath a very very thin veneer of protocol, politics in DC largely functions EXACTLY like a sorority! Isn't that cool? How FUN! But how on earth will Reese figure out to puncture this veneer of propriety and protocol that prevents people from doing the right thing and allows bureacracy and EEEEEEVIL to propogate through the legislative halls of our great land? well, i don't want to spoil the whole movie for you! But guess what? The really cool and honest Legislator that Reese goes to work for? She's kind of EEEEEEVIL!
