Added DiffLines:

* ContrivedClumsiness: Done intentionally - when Maguire implies Nick should manufacture evidence against Mac (see BerserkButton above), Nick responds by going into Maguire's office, taking a tray of coffee cups, and dumping them on Maguire's lap.
-->'''Nick''': I don't need you coming in from Washington, taking over my office, and telling me to manufacture evidence! This is my back yard, Hal! I don't plant weeds in my back yard so I can pull them!


Added DiffLines:

* UndercoverCopReveal: Subverted - Mac figures out at the beginning the guys buying drugs from Andy are undercover narcotics officers (even before Nick shows up), so he flushes the evidence down the toilet, and never gives them a chance to bust Andy. We only find out when Nick, pretending to be a dealer, practically orders Mac out of the room, and Mac tells Andy not to trust Nick either, so they both leave.

* IdealizedSex: The scene where Mac and Jo Ann make love is shot in a romantic, steamy-yet-tasteful manner with SexySilhouette and CensorSteam covering most of the action, and several slow-mo shots of them kissing and making out, all while {{Sexophone}} music plays on the background. They apparently go at it for ''four hours''.
