* NothingIsScarier: Surprisingly, there is a little scary moment after [[spoiler: Joe and Bill confront Drew, pretending that Joe is an [=IRS=] agent who clocked Drew's illegal activity. He threatens Drew not to call up the [=IRS=] to verify the information (naturally, since he's lying) and if Drew doesn't cooperate, Joe mentions he'll "spend eternity in a place with no doors." He doesn't describe it any further than that, but whether Death is referring to Hell or Purgatory, either way, the way he says it is ''terrifying.'' Drew listens and hastily exits afterward.

* SpoilerSweet: As shown to us, the Parrish family is ''stinking rich.'' Just look at all the things being prepared for that 65th birthday anniversary! But despite the fact that they are clearly deeply wealthy, Susan is an adorable, kind-hearted woman and so is her older sister (who is a bit neurotic, but is shown to be a good person same as her younger sister.) Bill is also surprisingly grounded and understanding despite being as rich as he is, and given the way he speaks of their mother, it's implied their mother was a lovely woman too.

* TakeAThirdOption: [[spoiler: Quince inadvertently provides the info that gets Bill ousted from the company. He's in tears about what to do since both of his choices now suck: either tell Bill the truth and risk being fired and his wife (Bill's eldest daughter) divorcing him or say nothing and Bill is torn from his own company that he built from the ground up by himself to provide for his lovely family. At a loss of what to do, Quince eventually approaches Joe for advice. Joe warmly tells him that he's one of his favorites and comforts him, telling him to confess the truth to Bill so that they can come up with a plan. And they do--Joe pretends to be an [=IRS=] agent and effectively scares Drew out of any thought of retaliation and also gets him fired, so Quince gets to keep his job and his wife and the company will now never merge with Bontacue's, keeping Bill's legacy intact for his loved ones and coworkers.]]

* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: Drew uses the information Quince unwittingly tells him about Joe as a reason to get Bill thrown out of the company so the merger can continue and make Drew rich. Well, he didn't count on Quince being a truly good, selfless person. Quince approaches Joe in tears about accidentally giving away information that allowed the board of directors to kick Bill out of his own company, but thankfully, Joe is kind and understanding and encourages Quince to come clean to Bill. Joe then thinks up a way out for all of them: he pretends that he is an [=IRS=] agent who was working with Bill and the [=FTC=] to expose insider trading and insider deals, meaning Drew is now qualified to be fired and he won't raise a fuss since he thinks that Joe is an [=IRS=] agent who could audit him or just straight up throw him in jail for what he did. Susan also dumps the creep, so he leaves this movie with absolutely nothing due to his ''own'' greedy actions.]]
