%%* BadHabits

to:

%%* BadHabits* BadHabits: The reverend. He's not a real reverend, for one thing, having killed the real one and taken his place years ago. He's also a sexual predator who tried to take advantage of 17-year old protagonist Douglas when he took sanctuary in the church, ''and'' he works for a local crimelord. He eventually leads the protagonists into a trap... and reveals that ''he's'' the BigBad.



** DudeLooksLikeALady: Doug says this about Joel in frustration because Doug was the one who had to wear a dress.
%%* BlahBlahBlah: What Douglas hears when the Sheriff talks.
%%* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon

to:

** * BlahBlahBlah: an arrogant sheriff's boasting eventually fades into blah blahs before Douglas, the protagonist, ditches him. The same thing happens again later, though this time he's speechifying to the other two protagonists, Card and Joel, about how honest he is (despite the obvious corruption of the law in town). After he leaves, Card says "Now I understand why Douglas couldn't stand talking with him..."
* {{Cowboy}}: Douglas and Miriam both work on a ranch, as do Douglas' friends Card and Joel.
* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: A crooked sheriff has the protagonists locked up on false charges. When they start complaining, he says he'll add to the charges if they don't shut up... then says he'll add things like stealing a hotel ashtray, cheating in cards, and hitting on girls in stores.

to:

%%* GiantMook
%%*
* GiantMook: Lionel "Leo" Jenning falls just short of being TheBrute by not having any real affiliation with the main group of bad guys. However, he's a gigantic champion prizefighter who presents a tremendous challenge in hand-to-hand combat, and Douglas' encounter with him plays out much like any Giant Mook faceoff in a movie or video game would... until later, when he becomes TheBigGuy and SixthRanger.
*
HeManWomanHater: Leo, much to Miriam's irritation.irritation, dislikes women so much he's practically enraged when one so much as talks to him. Miriam constructs an elaborate imaginary backstory for him that, in her mind, would excuse his behavior, which involves several groups of women (his sisters, his female co-workers, his sisters-in-law, etc.) taking advantage of him for his entire life. While her story is farfetched, his attempts at explaining himself, which amount to "they're noisy, and if you deal with them, they cry, and you still can't fight them..." suggest something along those lines might've actually happened to him, even though he's never been married and doesn't have any sisters.



%%* ItWorksBetterWithBullets

to:

%%* ItWorksBetterWithBullets* ItWorksBetterWithBullets: Douglas is menaced by an enemy who stole his gun. The villain, who isn't particularly familiar with firearms, lets out an Evil Laugh and starts speechifying, before pulling the trigger several times to find an empty gun. When Douglas picks up the other guy's gun and turns the tables on him, he weakly insists that that gun, too, is empty, and Douglas knows he's bluffing because he can feel the difference.



%%* WisdomFromTheGutter

to:

%%* WisdomFromTheGutter
* WisdomFromTheGutter: Douglas gets relationship advice from two men holed up in the local jail for starting a barfight, and is embarrased by how valuable their words are and how they have a much easier time seeing things from Miriam's point of view.
