* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: When talking to a bartender about the fact Sam got 21% of the station as a reward, the bartender asks him if it's better that way, than having full ownership of a station that is dying. He's forced to agree it is... and then the bartender asks why he's upset then. At which point he yells out that he's worked hard to save the station should be the one who saves it. He admits immediately afterwards that he didn't mean to say it out loud... to which the bartender remarks that it happened because he needed to hear it.

* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Initially thinks this happened to him, getting upset that he's not the one saving the station despite all his efforts. When he takes a moment to think, however, he quickly realizes that the main reason he wasn't the one to save the station is because [[ItsAllAboutMe he was unwilling to accept that he was wrong]] - he was working hard without bothering to make sure he was working ''properly''.

However, when the station's funds started getting tight, he started becoming TheScrooge and trying to cut expenses wherever he could to the station's detriment. It seems De Morel simply doesn't know what's best to cut and he cut the people in the station who could've helped him figure out what to cut. What's worse, he [[BelievingTheirOwnLies sincerely believes his measures will keep the station's budget in the black.]]
All that said, he has sincerely been trying to save the station, even if his methods are not the most-effective for doing so.

De Morel is so indignant by this he immediately "forces" Sam to sign a contract accepting the 17%, when it had never been more than a gentleman's agreement.

** He tricks de Morel into writing out an agreement that Sam gets 17% of the station for helping save the station from financial ruin... and we find out shortly afterwards, that Sam somehow got the amount upgraded to 21% much to de Morel's chagrin.
