Still unanswered: T4: A woman tells children that they will make their parents sick. T5: A girl’s Jello jiggles. T7: A man eavesdrops on his own house, and hears his wife with another man. T4 and T7 are slightly obscure. T5 was a major blockbuster, and the answer to another one on this thread. ---

These all have something in common (this might make some of the tougher ones easier): RF1 - A tall man stands on a step-stool RF2 - A buffet is laid out in the living room instead of the dining room RF3 - A woman puts a cigarette out in a plate of eggs, sunny side up RF4 - A man whistles during a cab ride. RF5 - A man on the run visits a blind man (not Frankenstein or any variant thereof) RF6 - A man goes to the theater with another man’s wife. RF7 - A woman gets drunk at her own party in Florida RF8 - A woman and her paid companion go to Monte Carlo RF9 - A woman in a fur coat loses her camera. RF10 - A woman unwisely keeps a souvenir.
