* TheBadGuyWins: Cotton ultimately meets his goal and heads up to the DMV in Mexico and gets his license in exchange for Santa Anna's leg.
* CountingToThree: On the school bus after the museum trip, the museum manager gets on the bus and accuses the kids of taking the leg. Hank tells them he's closing his eyes and expects them to cough up the leg, but when he turns his head outside, he sees to his horror that Cotton and Dale took the leg for themselves.

He breaks off the relationship with Didi because she wouldn't knit him a blanket, tells Hank he should have killed himself because he had the drive clerk change the vision test, steals Santa Anna's leg as a ransom to get his drivers' license and tries to kill Dale when he blabs to the cops.

* KickTheDog: After Cotton finds out Hank had the drive clerk change the eye test, it leads to a heated discussion, with Hank arguing he know what's best for his dad. Cotton's response? [[IHaveNoSon "If you knew what's best for me, you'd have drowned yourself two days after you was born."]]
* LooseLips: Dale does this twice:
