Top-hat, thimble, battleship.


At 46:16 there is this seemingly inane conversation about their respective Monopoly game pieces:

Caroline: What difference does it make?

Ben: I'm sick of being the thimble.

Caroline: Well I'm the top-hat so you can't be that. Be the battleship.

Captain Ron: Naaah! I'm the battleship.


Applying the theory that everything in a movie has some meaning, this is kind of interesting. There's an obvious fit for Captain Ron, but is there some hidden joke in Caroline being the top-ha and Ben being the thimble? I can see one but it may be stretching.
