* NobleFugitive: Just as Curtis and Porco settle on a date for their air to air duel, the fascist government outlaws bounty hunting, thus making Porco a double felon, since he took down SkyPirates [[BountyHunter to collect the bounty]] and he was already wanted for desertion from the Air Force, and Curtis also becomes a criminal since he was hired by the SkyPirates to hunt down Porco. After losing the duel, [[CombatBreakdown which devolved into a boxing match]], Curtis helps Porco lead the incoming Air Force aircraft from the scattering outlaws, and soon afterwards flees to the U.S., with a heavy implication that he would never return Italy, despite his fond memories, since he would've been arrested by the fascist government.

* ObliviousToLove: Despite having been married three times, Gina clearly has a thing for Porco, who only sees her as a close friend/informant. When Porco and Curtis' [[CombatBreakdown air to air duel devolves into a boxing match]], Curtis tells Porco that he needs to chose who he loves more, Fio or Gina, because he can't have them both. When Porco says he doesn't love either one of them, seeing them only as friends, especially Gina whom he's known for years, [[LiteralMetaphor Curtis literally beats into Porco]] the fact that Gina is in love with him, and has been waiting in her garden for him to reciprocate her feelings. During Fio's WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, it's revealed that following them leading the Italian Air Force away from the outlaws after their duel, Curtis fled back to the U.S., while Porco went into hiding, and at the very end [[spoiler: she mentions that Gina kept waiting for Porco in her garden, but as to whether he decided to go see her after coming out of hiding, [[WillTheyOrWontThey Fio said it was a secret]]]].

* GracefulLoser: After finding out he didn't shoot down Porco, and couldn't convince Gina to go back with him to the U.S., he challenges Porco to a duel where if he wins he would marry Fio, and if he lost he would cover all Porco's debts. After running out of ammo, and Porco didn't shoot him down due to his one gun jamming, they land and the duel becomes a boxing match, where Curtis, [[LiteralMetaphor literally, beats into Porco the fact that Gina's in love with him]]. After they knock each pother out, the referee determines Porco being the winner because he got up first. When Curtis comes to, he's a bit disappointed on loosing all that cash and not marrying Fio, and when he tells her he'll come back and properly ask to marry her next time, she tells him she appreciates the gestures, but "already knows my answer," heavily implied to be "no." As Curtis looks as Gina takes Fio in her plane, he tells Porco he'll help him lead the Italian Air Force away from the other fleeing outlaws. Also, during the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, Fio mentions that Curtis went back to the U.S. and became a major Hollywood producer and actor, and fondly remembers his summer in the Adriatic Sea.
