* [[Alcoholic Parent]]: Amy, although when the movie takes place, she is going to [[Tropaholics Anonymous|AA meetings]].

Line 82 ⟶ 83:
* [[Word Salad Philosophy]]: When the team is drunkenly rambling along about Mozart and Einstein, while Amy, [[Only Sane Man|the one sober person present]], just quietly sits back listening with an amused look on her face.
* [[Worthy Adversary]]: Chris makes an amazing, almost impossible shot which would put his team in position to win, but his teammate accidentally brushed the stone with his foot after releasing it, meaning the entire shot is invalid...
