A great movie scene would be where all of the boring colonial guys are sitting around making up laws and then this one colonial guy who is new to town puts his powdered wig and spectacles on a stray dog.  Then when the dog barks, the guy acts all serious like he is paying attention to the dog and he even takes notes.  (Like the dog is barking about laws!)  This makes everyone cheer.

Then we see the main colonial guy and his face is all red and even though he is silent we can tell he’s really like “Man, I wish I thought of that!”
