'Pig-in-a-poke'. The Griswolds defeated the Froegers.
Ellen. After Ellen gets mad at Clark for not erasing the video of her dancing and singing in the bathroom, she leaves and goes back to the hotel. The criminal who rented the car to the Griswald's goes into the hotel to try and get the car keys from Ellen, so he can get the man out of the trunk of their rental car. However, Ellen fights him off, and he ends up kidnapping her and leading Clark on a wild chase through Rome, before finally crashing into a fountain.
Orange. The family gets a yellow car in England, an orange car in France (which they then drive to Germany), and a white car in Italy.
Stonehenge. As the family is leaving Stonehenge, Clark unintentionally backs the car into one of the large stones of the landmark. This causes a domino effect, and the whole thing collapses while the Griswalds drive away, completely oblivious to what just happened.
Jack. Audrey mentions Jack quite a few times during the movie. She obviously misses him terribly, and she calls him from London, spending hours on the phone with him. Her long-distance phone call causes their hotel bill to be very expensive.
The Froegers. After Clark decided that the family would "be pigs", the gameshow host surprised them with their opponents, The Froegers, who were supposedly undefeated. However, after mistakenly answering a question correct about American Explorers, Ellen wins the game for the Griswalds.
Ellen. After seeing herself portrayed as a sexual image on a billboard in Rome, Ellen goes ballistic on Clark. He had promised her he would erase a video he had taken of her dancing around in a towel at home before they left for the trip. However, a man had stolen their camera while they were in France, and had apparently taken the footage of Ellen dancing in her towel and turned it into some type of naughty movie. However, Ellen is furious with Clark, since he had promised her that he would erase that footage before anyone would see it. She then walks away from him and tells him that she is going back to the hotel. Clark says, "We didn't vote on that, did we honey?", and that's where Ellen starts with her line of "Oh, forget your votes!".
Audrey. When the family is walking through Rome, Audrey starts complaining about how much she misses Jack. Clark tells her that she should see the Colosseum before she goes home, and that Jack will always be there when she gets back. She tells him that the Colosseum will always be there, that it has been there for hundreds of years, but she says if she doesn't get home to Jack right away, he's going to fall in love with another girl named Debbie, and Audrey says she will die if that happens. That's when Clark asks, "Don't you want to see the Colosseum before you die?", which upsets Audrey even more, as she realizes she isn't getting anywhere with her argument.
Clark. When the family arrives in Germany, they are planning on staying with their relatives, Helga and Fritz. However, after they arrive, they mistake the address of their relatives' home, and end up staying with complete strangers. And, because the strangers don't speak a word of English, they can't tell the Griswalds that they have the wrong house, so they end up just letting them stay with them. Clark tells Ellen how amazed he is at how strong family ties are, and how amazing it is to be able to get along well with "Helga and Fritz" although they don't understand English at all.
Rusty. Clark takes Ellen out on the town one night for some "French culture", which involves visiting a nightclub/cabaret (which Clark clearly enjoys much more than Ellen does). As Ellen is getting up to leave the nightclub, she spots Rusty sitting in the back and drinking with a streetwalker. When Clark confronts Rusty, he drunkenly says, "Oink, oink my good man!".
Rusty. Once the family gets to France, Clark sees a fountain, and wants the family to pose in front of it for a picture. Rusty tells him that it's a dumb idea, but Clark insists, "it'll be a good shot; you'll remember it forever".
Clark. When the Griswalds arrive at their hotel in London (the Royal Imperial Windsor Arms) and get their rooms, Ellen decides to take a hot bath. She begins looking around the room for a bathroom, and when she mentions to Clark that there is no bathroom, he begins opening doors in their room to prove to her that the bathroom is there somewhere. It turns out that there is only one bathroom shared between all the rooms in the hall, although the brochure stated that each room had its own private bathroom and shower.
Rusty. Rusty says this while the family is on the plane, flying from Chicago to London. Clark brings up the fact that they are going to be visiting his relatives in Germany, and Rusty replies, "Not if we don't vote for it". Clark says, "You'll vote for it Rus", and Rusty asks, "Why should I?". Clark then says, "Because I just raised your allowance, that's why", and that's when Rusty says he thinks he's going to like that "Democracy stuff".
