* Despite being on the receiving end of a curse that's not even that gruesome in comparison to his associates, Billy manages to be pretty unnerving. At first he's ecstatic that he's finally losing weight, then when it becomes clear that the weight loss is out of control, he gradually loses his mind. His binge-eating transitions from celebratory to desperation as he frantically tries to regain the weight that he's losing. When his wife scoffs at his suspicions that he's been cursed, he loses his temper and starts shouting at her, all the while half-chewed food is spilling out of his mouth, reminiscent of a rabid beast. He then gets paranoid about his wife cheating on him and eventually decides that since she was partially responsible for his curse, he'll kill her with it.
