** Immediately thereafter, after failing to get any response out of Jake's Avatar body, it takes her ''seconds'' to figure out where Jake's real body is, what it looks like, what the mask hanging near him does, and how to put it on him. In total, the time between her killing Quaritch and saving Jake takes about ''one minute''.

* After Spider saves his life, Quaritch begs him to run away with him. Spider's reply? An angry Na'vi hiss. The fact that Spider does not give Quaritch a "Jake Sully will always be a better father to me than you will ever be" remark (in those exact words) just goes to show that his real father is not worth talking to anymore.

** Tied into this is the fact Quaritch ''deliberately'' opened a sidehatch aboard his ship and tried to shoot Jake to stop him fatally damaging his gunship, all while holding his breath (not having a gas mask on to protect him from Pandora's toxic atmosphere). It didn't work, but points for trying.
