> My favorite scene was when (I think it was Jane Curtin) made some remark about “I’m not going to let just any Tom, Dick, or Harry (do something)”, and Dick, Tom and Harry all start “nonchalantly” looking around like they hope no one picks up on exactly how lazy they were in choosing their fake identities.

Also they just picked the last name Solomon because they saw it on a moving truck. I liked how when Tommy was creating their fake identities he randomly made Dick _Canadian_ because he thought it was by suspicious if every member of a family was from the same country. When Mary found out Dick was “from Canada” she used it to write off all his weird behavior. Meanwhile the other Tom, Harry, & Sally turned into a weird communist mini-collective.
