** Jimmy thinks a cross-country bus trip will be just like ''[[Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977 The Incredible Hulk TV series]]''--seeing the country and solving mysteries in small towns. The ex-con in the next seat is quick to point out that Jimmy actually signed up for a week of gas station food, terrible restrooms, and no bathing opportunities.
** The aforementioned RaceForYourLove scene ends with [[spoiler:Jimmy phoning Sara and discovering that she never received his letter, and thus has no idea that he's in New York City.]]

* RaceForYourLove: {{Invoked|Trope}}. After debating about the ending of ''SleeplessInSeattle'' with Sara, Jimmy deliberately tries to reenact it. He figures that even if he fails and makes a fool of himself, it beats spending the rest of his life wondering what would have happened.
