** In order for Alice to help him, Reacher had to help her with a case involving a [[AssholeVictim rich, old, white guy who refused to pay, for an accident in which a poor family's son was killed.]] To "persuade" the guy, Reacher scammed his way in to the guy's house, confronted the guy, then started to throw expensive items out of the house until he signed a check (and the poor guy couldn't call the cops since Reacher had ripped out the telephone wire with a makeshift grappling hook from some rope and a pistol). Afterwards, just to be an asshole, Reacher then knocks over an expensive grandfather clock with a smile.

Added DiffLines:
* In ''A Wanted Man'', Reacher is in a firefight at night and can't see well enough to know if he hit his opponents, which leads to this commentary:
--> Too dark to see if it worked, but certainly the guy stopped firing. Maybe he was only reloading. [[RefugeInAudacity Or taking a nap.]]

* ''Personal'' sees Reacher being the target of the kind of sarcasm he usually dishes out, to which he can only respond with annoyed silence:
-->'''Rick Shoemaker:''' Wait there.

* In ''Night School'', there are quite a few funny moments, many courtesy of the banter between Reacher and Neagley:
** Reacher's half-assed attempt to not tell Neagley what his attendance of the titular "school" (a cover for a secret assignment) is actually for.

-->'''Reacher:''' They never make sense.
-->'''Neagley:''' This one is worse than usual.
-->'''Reacher:''' [[BlatantLies It's a school.]]
-->'''Neagley:''' They wouldn't do that to you. Not while Garber lives and breathes.

** [[GenreSavvy Reacher]] finds himself trying to track a clandestine agent in a city by looking at a map. The area in question includes four small parks: "Which meant maybe eight benches available, and probably pigeons to feed, which was what spies did in the movies he saw."

-->'''Neagley:''' No one knows what to do next. No one knows if it's something or nothing.
-->'''Reacher:''' We should put those words on our unit patch. [[HeroicSelfDeprecation Like a motto on a scroll below two crossed question marks.]]
