* CoinWalkFlexing: The first pearl trader is described as fiddling with a coin between his fingers and knuckles with just one hand, while waiting for Kino to enter. The moment Kino comes in, the trader then puts his hand behind his back and continues fiddling the coin, and when Kino takes out the giant Pearl of the World, the aghast trader immediately drops his coin and rolls his (out of sight) hand into a clenched fist.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The doctor has one that establishes the entire wealthy class: cruelly refusing to care for a baby stung by a scorpion ([[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain "I am a doctor, not a veterinary."]]) so he can get back to his wine. The racism and classism of Kino's more dangerous enemies becomes apparent almost instantly in the first chapter.

* TheUnreveal: Though we never see the doctor again after he comes to see the baby, it's highly likely (though never officially established) that he's behind at least one of the efforts to steal the pearl--the thief searches at the precise spot that Kino glanced at during the doctor's visit.
