[[spoiler:Harold's watch was treated like a main character in both the book and movie, in the vein of Notre Dame itself being a sort of main character in ''Literature/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' (to the point of being the titular one with the French title, Notre Dame of Paris), and Karen's SignatureStyle involves a character dying in the end. Since the watch was treated as such, she technically still fulfilled that by having the watch perform a HeroicSacrifice, and not have to sacrifice Harold for the sake of her novel]].

** Ana has been refusing to pay her taxes as a form of protest against the government. Harold later informs her her that she can write off the food she gives away as charitable donations thus lowering her tax bill and minimizing how much she has to give to the government she hates.
