2* Why did Lisa [[spoiler:stab Rippner in the neck]]? Because, as Rippner said, [[spoiler:his shooter is a good "dog" and only responds to "[[Creator/HisMastersVoiceRecords his master's]] ''[[Creator/HisMastersVoiceRecords voice]]''."]]
3* Lisa displays lots of moments of quick-thinking, especially in the third act when she's under pressure. Well she's used to doing that as part of her job - coming up with last minute solutions to sudden problems and being a "people pleaser 24/7".

6* "Thanks for the quickie." It first comes off as a [[DudeNotFunny sick joke]], probably to tease Lisa and put her in her place, but it takes on a whole new meaning when the film reveals [[spoiler:Lisa was raped in the past]], and Rippner (who had already figured out what happened in Lisa's past) was intentionally ''triggering her''.
7* In the movie ''Film/RedEye'', [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Jackson Rippner]], while flirting with Lisa, acknowledges the violent implications of his [[UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper rather unfortunate name]] with a quip that he killed his parents for the offense. After a {{beat}}, she decides that he was kidding and laughs. Later on, when his [[PsychoForHire true colors]] are revealed, she accuses him of lying to her, to which he calmly replies that he has never lied to her, not once -- leaving the implication that, yes, [[SelfMadeOrphan he did kill his parents]] just hanging there...
8** Also, Rippner's pursuit of Lisa starts out feeling like sexual tension and becomes FridgeHorror once you realize that Rippner is intentionally triggering her in the hope of violently evoking memories of her past with (implied) sexual assault, intended to make her feel helpless.
