<p>Shouting "Because you're a woman" after any of Lisa's lines is the Room's equivalent of adding "in bed" to fortune cookies. It's also fun to point out how much the movie hates women.</p>
<p>"Sestosterone" is the preferred way to express that leading man Greg Sestero (Mark) is doing something appropriately manly.</p>
<p>Mark's beard should also be roundly mocked. Or have its travel arrangements mentioned.</p>
<p>When Lisa asks about money, it's good to speculate on what sort of money she's talking about. Turkish Lira? Deutschmarks? Confederate greenbacks? The possibilities are endless.</p>
<p>Pay close attention to which picture Lisa corrects after the fight.</p>
<p>You will need to sing the Mission Impossible theme at one point. It should be fairly obvious when.</p>
<p>Denny should be greeted whenever he enters a room. When he leaves, it's good to say goodbye to him as well. The poor kidult is fragile.</p>
