* When, after Granny Weatherwax wins at [[Chess Withwith Death|poker against Death]], He asks Granny what would have happened if she lost:
{{quote| {{smallcaps|I have to know. What would have happened if I had not...lost?}}<br />
'At the cards, you mean?'<br />
{{smallcaps|Yes. What would you have done?}}<br />

'Well,' she said, 'for a start... I'd have broken your bloody arm.' }}
** Every one of Granny's actions in that scene qualifies, from [[Don't Fear the Reaper|blowing out a candle]] to [[Did You Just Have Tea With Cthulhu|performing chiropractic]].
Line 10:

** The implication is that he, Death, lost on purpose because he was afraid of what Granny would do to him if she lost.
** [[Alternative Character Interpretation|Or possibly]] that [[Don't Fear the Reaper|Death,]] who [[ItsIt's What I Do|must]] follow the rules, at least has enough sympathy to bend them.
* Granny getting Nanny her rightful proceeds from her "cookbook."
* Nanny saving the chandelier, and dealing with the Ghost by faking a heart attack. "Watch out!"
* Granny's [[Barehanded Blade Block]] followed by a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]].
