** On the other hand, Hector basically browbeats Kenny into robbing the bank after Kenny initially refuses to go through with it. Hector -- who believes that Kenny's only "crime" is being caught jerking off by his laptop's camera -- paints an incredibly bleak and humiliating future for Kenny (essentially that he will be known as Wank-Boy for the rest of his life, [[spoiler:especially when it becomes known what exactly he was wanking off to, something Hector, a family man, thankfully doesn't find out]]) in order to bully him into committing a felony. He does apologize afterward though, so a bit of a wash.
