Some questions:
Did anyone else notice that the screen seems to shake in the scene where Patty and Graham initially discuss the audit? I watched it twice to make sure, but I saw it at 5:57 and again at 6:32 - the camera twitches again around 42:00 when Patty and Graham are talking in the kitchen (the Yoko Ono conversation).
I specifically recall seeing Rickie at his locker in other episodes (but I can't remember which ones!) - he has a top locker with a picture of a face with a bluish tint taped inside. In this episode, however, Rickie is seen opening a middle locker and putting his one book inside. Since Rayanne also hands him two of her books to put in the locker, is it her locker?
Did Graham really mean it when he tells Patty that he thought he told her about the Grateful Dead tickets?
When Rayanne finds out that Angela scalped their Grateful Dead tickets, Angela defends herself by saying, "You're always saying we should think of ways to make money." I don't recall Rayanne ever saying that to Angela, and I don't understand why Rayanne WOULD say that to Angela. Angela doesn't need money for any extraneous stuff (well, besides a fake ID) because her parents buy her clothes and necessities. Where did this weird excuse of hers come from?
Patty says things like "The IRS has all kinds of techniques to trip you up," and "It's exactly what all the books say never to do." Did Patty take time between the audit notice and Miss Mandeville's visit to do a bunch of IRS research?
Angela comes flying in the house during the IRS meeting and blows Graham off with, "Dad, I can't talk right now," and runs upstairs to supposedly get ready for the concert. Since she claims that Rayanne is coming to pick her up, so where was she coming from?!
Graham says he saw the Grateful Dead at the 1971 Palo Alto show. He later tells Patty that he saw the Grateful Dead when he was 15. Can we assume that these two statements are related, meaning that Graham was 15 when he was at the 1971 show? Or did Graham attend multiple shows (as most Dead fans do)? The reason I ask is that a few episodes later, Camille tells Patty, "We're 40!" so if Graham was 15 at his one and only Dead show in '71, then he is 38 in 1994 which means Patty is a (slightly) older woman
I would like to add that I did a little research and it looks like there wasn't a Palo Alto concert that year - they played Berkeley and San Francisco in 1971, but I didn't see a Palo Alto concert - maybe Graham, not being a California native, assumed that Palo Alto is near SF? By the way, NONE of the aforementioned shows ended with "Cosmic Charlie."
Brian tells Angela, "Look, it's my car." Is it really his car or is it his parents' car? It is an older model car, so it's possible that his parents bought it for him so that he could learn to drive (since he is 15, like Angela). Notice that he still takes the bus to school
Think that when he turns 16 his parents will trust him enough to drive to school every day? Or that Angela will try to get a ride to school?
Brian offers to let Angela stay in his room rather than out in the cold. Why does she choose to stay outside in the car?
When Angela explains that Graham thinks she is at the concert and he would be upset if he knew that she wasn't, Brian says, "Wow, your dad is so different from mine." What does he mean by that?
When Brian (once again displaying his stellar social skills) graciously offers Angela his sweater, then ruins the moment by saying, "Try not to sweat in it," Angela gets angry and says, "Why do you have to say things like that?" Brian retorts, "Why do you have to -" and is then interrupted by his mother yelling about the garbage. What was he going to say? Angela asks, "So, wait, what were you saying?" and he stutters, "Nothing. Just...you shouldn't act one way towards a person when you need something, and then..." Was this what he was beginning to say before his mom started yelling about the garbage or is he going off in another direction? And how did the conversation end? Did Angela walk back into her house as soon as Graham saw her with Brian? I can't believe she would just leave in the middle of that conversation.
In this episode, Rickie reveals that he lives with his uncle, who he is afraid of. We never learn why he lives with his aunt and uncle instead of his parents - any theories?
When Angela is in the bathroom, the two girls who are smoking begin laughing and looking at her as she tries to apologize to Rayanne. Why are they laughing at her?
Rayanne says her dad has had "like, eight different girlfriends since he left." Any ideas on time frame? If he left when she was very young, quite honestly, eight girlfriends over ten or so years isn't that many. If he left a few months ago, then eight is a bit more excessive.
When Patty asks Chuck, "Why does there have to be this distane between us?" he replies, "Well, it's not my doing." True?
Angela doesn't want to explain to Graham why she owes someone $30 because "it's too stupid and complicated." Does she really think the situation with Jordan is stupid and complicated, or does she use that as an excuse because she doesn't want to tell him about Jordan? Or is it because she obviously can't tell him she bought a fake ID (which says she was born yesterday!)?
