Line 26:
** "Can't a hard-workin' crook make a dishonest buck in this town no more?"
* '''Conversed''': "Oh, there's a guy in a trenchcoat and floppy hat that throws shadows on his face going into a dark alley. Watch, some hapless mugger will try to take his wallet - what a poor decision."
* '''Exploited''': The police send a gorgeous girl [[Fair Cop|who looks like a model]] conspicuously carrying various valuables through the worst part of town. She is of course personally an [[Action Girl|expert in unarmed combat]], wears a tracking monitor and a body cam to ID her assailant, and has a formidable backup including a sniper team in case things go really bad.
* '''Played For Laughs''': Through a chain of circumstance and poor luck, the ''only'' people Morty happens to try mugging have superpowers or are otherwise easily capable of handing him his ass.
* '''Played For Drama''': We see Morty following his next victim down a dark alley, confident of an easy victory. Screams are heard from the alley. The next morning, the police are surrounding what's left of Morty, commenting on what kind of monster could do something so horrific.
