* RefugeInAudacity: Satan Man does not comprehend subtlety. Besides the KickTheDog moment listed above, he "buys" a bunch of candy and knives without paying for them, then proceeds to stab the clerk who tried to confront him, hit a pregnant woman, a baby, and a blind man with a shopping cart, then hangs an old woman on her front porch. Later in the movie, it's shown the he carved a smiley face on [[spoiler:Nicole's]] breasts and stomach. At the end, [[spoiler:having assumed the identity of a cop and Dougie giving him permission to come into the house, he spray paints an extra "6" on the house number, [[NumberOfTheBeast which was 66]].]]
