Added DiffLines:

* MistakenForDestitute: The story ''Flight 714'' has our protagonists meet a CorruptCorporateExecutive named Lazlo Carreidas, who is slovenly and rather sickly-looking. When he first appears in the story, Captain Haddock confuses him for a homeless man that managed to wander into the airport's lobby and sneaks some money into Carreidas' hat when a gust of wind takes it off his head. When Carreidas appears a couple of scenes later, Haddock confuses Carreidas' assistant for the man himself and thinks (but thankfully doesn't says aloud) that "Carreidas" must be quite the humanitarian if he decided to help that "helpless old man".
