* NosyNeighbor: Inverted. She does truly care for Scott, almost like a son, and he returns the favor. You could argue that Scott helps her with a lot of things (especially in Season 1), but she also helps him on a few occasions. When Scott's alcoholism starts getting out of control, she suggests him to go to a reunion of the A.A. And the night before that suggestion, as Scott had come back home drunk, she called him (while he was drinking), and tossed this fine little joke:
--> '''Mrs. Shrink''': Scott, did you get your entrance remade in a zigzag pattern? (as he wasn't walking in a straight line)

* TheAce: Season 2 plays him as this. His advertising campaigns are all successful, though to varying degrees; he is always eager to help people, especially his sister, his nephew Nicholas, his friend Ben or the government. Not to mention that even if he can snark, he's still a very nice guy.
** BrokenAce: ...Yet it's been revealed in season 2 that his school grades weren't really high. He's also shown signs of alcoholism. Not to mention that he's kind of quick to threathen those who annoy him too much, as proven by this exchange. Scott goes to visit his sister's block owner as he didn't repair a wall in her apartment.
---> '''Scott:''' I'm the guy at the end of this fist. (He points to his fist) If you don't make the repairs in my sister's apartment, you'll be at the other end of this fist. Understood?
