Line 22:
* [[Do They Know It's Christmas Time?]] : Subverted throughout the movie, then {{spoiler|played almost straight at the end.}}
* [[Dysfunction Junction]]: ... oooooh boy.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Pretty much ''every'' character in relation to Madame Chasseur, no matter how unlikeable or criminal themselves. Even the shrewish Connie [[Rescued
* [[Evil Debt Collector]]: Caroline regards Lloyd's mother as this due to the fact that they're living in ''her'' house ''and'' paying her rent. When Lloyd gives her the next payment, she even remarks "we'll have to see what happens with interest rates in the new year."
** Even Gus calls her out on this, specifically noting that he knows [[Loan Shark|Loan Sharks]] more forgiving than her. It's worth noting that she is apparently charging Lloyd ''18% interest'' on the loan she made him.
Line 30:
** Raymond J. Barry, [[Da Chief]] of the local police force. Such as it is.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Watched a cartoon? You've heard Robert Ridgely, who plays Bob (the mayor, or similar figure).
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] / [[Role Association]]: After watching B.D. Wong deal with rapists, pedophiles and soulless murderers for several seasons on ''[[Law and Order SVU]]'', it's ''extra'' funny that Lloyd and Caroline's nonstop squabbling is what gets him to really tear his hair out in frustration.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: When he can keep his head, Gus is a fairly intelligent [[Deadpan Snarker]]. Most of the time, he's lashing out at anything nearby and only causing more destruction in doing so.
* [[Ignored Enemy]]: Gus often winds up being the ignored one so other people can argue and fight, usually over rather petty issues. This generally only ends when he pulls out his gun.
