* HateSink: Muriel pretty much ''exists'' to give the audience someone they can despise in the film, being a self-centered, materialistic {{jerkass}} who cheats behind her husband's back, tries hogging all of Charlie's lottery money for herself, kicks Charlie out of their apartment because ''he's too generous with donations'' and finally [[spoiler:lies in court that her husband has been abusing her, when it's the other way around]].

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope
Changed line(s) 32 (click to see context) from:
* NiceToTheWaiter: Taken UpToEleven. When he doesn't have enough money to leave Yvonne a tip, Charlie promises to return the next day with it, or to split the proceeds of the lottery ticket he just bought, should it win. When he does, he keeps his promise. He's later seen giving a homeless man some spare change, and towards the movie's end, both he and Yvonne provide the same homeless man (though they don't realize it) with some soup, even though they literally don't have a cent to their name at that point.
