While the truck is speeding out of control, Jack Sr. confesses that Jack Jr. is mooch and tells Adrian he lied about having a successful doctor for a son because he wanted a son he could be proud of. He then says that all this time, he had one such son [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments waiting for him back in San Francisco]].

* CassandraTruth: When Monk keeps insisting to Jack that Glazer's "charity" is not out of good will, and he is trying to set Jack on a wild goose chase. Jack chalks it up to Adrian being neurotic and/or trying to get him to lose his job. Later, when he stops at a diner that explains a certain road isn't under construction (despite Glazer's claims), he realizes [[RousseauWasRight Adrian was right]].

He was also nice enough to not only accept the tacky tie from Jack as a Christmas present, but also opted against firing him despite Glazer's suggestion.

* ConvenienceStoreGiftShopping: A large part of Ben Glazer's plot deals with this trope: all the items ([[TakeThat other than]] ''[[DirtyCommunists Das]] [[Creator/KarlMarx Kapital]]'') in Jack Monk, Sr.'s truck that he is supposed to deliver to orphanages are rubbish junk, even causing one girl to state angrily that she hates Christmas, Santa, and the elves for that. Adrian is suspicious when he finds there are only six packages in the truck, a very tiny load for an 18 wheeler with a large trailer, and furthermore, they are forced into taking out-of-the-way routes instead of direct roads. Turns out the entire delivery route was a wild goose chase so the truck's GPS device would reset itself after driving 5,000 miles to erase evidence of the fact that Glazer took this rig unit when he killed his partner Kenneth Woods.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: When one reads a fortune cookie reading "Stand by your man", one would think it would imply being loyal and committed to family and close friends. Jack Sr., on the other hand, interprets it to mean "[[ItsAllAboutMe Think about yourself]]", abandoning the wife and children who needed him.
