* DamselInDistress: Vivian. The whole plot is driven forward by Thompson's desire to help Vivian, whether it is by saving her from being "murdered" or by acting as her getaway when she makes up her mind to leave Zoltini. Fittingly, the US release was titled ''Lady in Distress''.
* ImaginedInnuendo: The reporter who is taking down Thompson's story about the "stabbing" initially gets the wrong idea about the kind of incident Thompson is describing:
--> '''Thompson''': I was looking out of the window on the underground, travelling overground,...when I saw a man messing about with a girl.
--> '''Reporter''': What?!
--> '''Thompson''': He was trying to stick a knife into her.
--> '''Reporter''': Ha, [[UnEntendre knife]], I get you.
* OldFlame: Preston's feelings for Vivian clearly go beyond being JustFriends, although on Vivian's part, it is more of a case of OldFlameFizzle, as she really does love Zoltini.
