'''Clara''': ''[[Deadpan Snarker|All of that from the two of us?]]'' }}
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Ben isn't so much a jerk as he is ambitious, and he sees Clara as his means of rising above his station in life. He eventually realizes what backward thinking this is.
* [[Kuudere]]: Clara comes off as a genuine [[Ice Queen]] to most everyone, Ben in particular, but she insists that the children of the town be educated and is much more relaxed around her friend and Alan. She even admits as much to Ben during the picnic scene.

* [[Large Ham]]: Hoo boy, Orson Welles. His southern drawl and fake nose alone was enough to [[Chew the Scenery]] to shreds.
* [[Loners Are Freaks]]: Why everyone assumes that Ben is a barn burner. See also [[Malicious Slander]].
