* GeniusBonus: The safepicker tells his brother when pressed to get a real job, "Would you have a doctor take up a pick? A chemist sit behind the wheel of a truck?" This is incredibly close to Ralph Waldo Emerson's Fate, "His parentage determines it. Men are what their mothers made them. You may as well ask a loom which weaves huckaback, why it does not make cashmere, as expect poetry from this engineer, or a chemical discovery from that jobber. Ask the digger in the ditch to explain Newton's laws: the fine organs of his brain have been pinched by overwork and squalid poverty from father to son." This quote also times in closely to the theme and plot of the film.

* WhatAnIdiot:
** Betty not only doesn't make any changes to the paper Marvin writes for her to make it look like her work, she doesn't even read it.
** Marv and Vince both continue to pine after Betty, even after she openly and shamelessly admits that [[GoldDigger she's only using them for what they can give her]].
* TheWoobie: It's a little hard to not feel sorry for Marv's dad as he's doing his part to try and turn his life around for both his own and Marv's sake, but ultimately everything not within his control doesn't work out for him.
