** The RunningGag of a motorcyclist always tearing through the town, about to hit Mac or anyone else stepping out of a doorway. Up until the moment where Mac reflexively stops on the awning and puts his arm out to stop Danny before he gets hit. It becomes a Heartwarming moment of a sorts in that Mac is starting to get the feel of the place, as though he's fitting in with the locals.

** [[BlackComedy With the following scene]] of Happer leaving headquarters while a [=SWAT=] team arrives.
** After meeting with the town's priest - who had tried to hide the fact the rest of the town was at his church to discuss ways of fleecing the oil company - Mac and Danny stand alongside the shore to talk about their next move. While Mac is distracted by the beauty of the shoreline, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent the townspeople are seen sneaking past the two on a far ridge]], something only Danny notices but fails to mention as Mac keeps talking.
