-->'''Reacher:''' Yeah, let's not make a big thing of it.

* In [=''TheEnemy''=], a disillusioned and embittered Reacher finally confronts [[spoiler: the CorruptBureaucrat Willard]], with a gun in his hand. He gives a terse but vicious speech about how everything's been ruined for him now, and then [[DrivenToSuicide points the gun at his own temple.]] [[spoiler: Then he says, "Just kidding", and shoots Willard in the head.]]

** When Alice and Reacher are looking at Carmen Greer's medical reports for evidence of domestic abuse, they start at the beginning. The narrative launches into a long, immaculately detailed paragraph about the circumstances and procedures of her daughter Ellie's birth, from gynecology to fetal monitors to times of day for the process of labor, all concluding that Carmen was born perfectly viable — and then it helpfully notes that the birth report did ''not'' mention facial bruising, or a split lip, or loosened teeth.

--> "I never thought it would be anything else," Reacher lied.

* In ''Tripwire'', Reacher has just returned to New York from the Florida Keys, investigating a detective who'd come looking for him. The most sensible thing to do, he reasons, is to check the yellow pages, but he doesn't have a very convenient start.
--> But the yellow pages showed no private investigators called Costello. Plenty of private Costellos in the white pages, but no professional listings under that name. Reacher sighed. He was disappointed, but not surprised. It would have been too good to be true to open up the book and see Costello Investigations—We Specialize in Finding Ex-[=MPs=] Down in the Keys.

* In ''Worth Dying For'', Reacher is trapped in the back of a truck whose ceiling was hit with a shotgun blast. He gets bored and counts the individual holes the pellets made (there are one hundred and thirteen), which leads to this numbers-related spiel:

* In ''The Hard Way'', Reacher and Pauling try to [[ItMakesSenseInContext find out who bought a chair he found]]. They eventually locate the correct vendor, an old man running his own store, who offers to tell them what he knows in exchange for five dollars. Reacher offers him two-fifty plus the chair.

* Also in the movie, the two {{Mooks}} who try to attack Reacher with a bat and a crowbar, only to be limited by the small space. They end up [[{{Slapstick}} doing more damage to each other]] than Reacher, with the bat wielder even knocking the crowbar wielder out by smacking him in the face.

** The the people at the bus stop he's hiding at step in front of him while he shrugs at his neighbor.

* At the end of the [[ChaseScene car chase]] in TheMovie, Reacher hides himself in a crowd so that the police wouldn't find him. Then a random civilian hands him his hat so he could hide from the police.
