2	----
3	* Many, many scenes with Amy. For example, when she makes her incredibly lame firearm joke and can barely contain her amusement. Also when Dave comes over to protect her and it's implied that John is actually setting them up on a date.
4	* Amy is missing one of her hands, and goes on a long tangent to Dave about how everyone always treats her like a freak because of it, and always refers to her as "the girl with only one hand." Dave hadn't seen her in years, so he was surprised, but John saw her on a pretty regular basis, and talked to Dave about her pretty often.
5	-->'''Dave:''' Let me tell you everything you need to know about John. The reason I was surprised by your hand was because John never once described you as, "the girl with the missing hand."
6	* Dave describes his relationship with Jennifer as "she put up with my bullshit when even ''I'' won't put up with my bullshit." This also describes Dave's friendship with John, who refuses to abandon Dave even when Dave appears to actively torpedo their friendship.
7	* John not only carries out Fred Chu's last wish (starting rumors that he's still alive and wandering in the darkness of Undisclosed), but also takes on the task that was assigned to David, namely checking up on Amy and making sure she's okay It's implied his regular visits are what made him think she and Dave would be a good couple and thus why he sets them up. Hell, in the film Marconi himself makes a point of calling John a gentleman.
8	* As well as being downright hilarious, there's something very sweet about John questioning Monster Dave about his memory of his life, and then ending with a lame (and entirely in character for John) attempt to get 500 dollars out of him. This is going on when Monster Dave is suicidal over the discovery that he is actually a creature from an alternate universe, so that line is the first sign that John is willing to accept Dave as Dave, even if he is the TomatoInTheMirror.
9	** Even then, what puts John truly over the top, is that he still takes the time out to visit original Dave's grave site from time to time. No forgotten fallen friends for him.
10	* Dave has a toolshed filled with miscellaneous trophies and artifacts, most of them sent to him by lonely weirdos who think he's an expert on the paranormal. As Dave sarcastically says, "Everybody wants to help." Later in the story, Krissy Lovelace, a girl he and John had helped before, sends him her lucky gold cross in the mail, saying an angel had come to her in a dream and told her that he would need it. Dave repeats, "Everybody wants to help", sounding a lot more sincere this time.
11	* After Dave has spilled his entire tragic backstory to Amy, she ends up telling him about why she was in Pine View. Eventually, we get this:
