** Alex interprets Damien's comment about 'your lovely wife Susan' as a threat; Damien was in fact just making small-talk and, since he has [[EvenEvilHasStandards standards]], is appalled at the thought that he would threaten an innocent bystander.

** Damien's threats are more like PokeThePoodle: "Nice carpet you've got here. It would be a shame if someone were to... ''track dirt on it.''
** Damien's threat is nowhere near as subtle as his delivery would imply: "This is a nice house you have here. [[{{NonSequitur}} It would be a shame if someone killed your wife".]]
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Alex interprets Damien's compliments as a threat, which surprises Damien. But later Alex's friend sees his Mooks going to Susan's house. But it turns out that they were delivering her flowers. But then Damien becomes jealous and threatens Susan for real.

* '''Discussed''': "He talks and acts like a gentleman, but his words and heart are filled with poison. This man evilness knows no limits... He's a terrifying monster".
* '''Conversed''': "This guy has watched too many gangster's movies. Just go and say it outright, damn it!"
* '''Played For Laughs''':
** Damien's threats are FauxHorrific ("it would be a shame if I had to put this tape with a 12-hour marathon of Creator/TonyDanza shows in your plasma TV"). For additional parody points, Alex [[SeriousBusiness reacts]] as if Damien had been threatened with death (or [[AFateWorseThanDeath worse]]).

** Damien tries to carry out his threats - emphasis on ''[[EpicFail tries]]''.
** Damien's threats are absurdly hyperbolic - or, if it is funnier, [[NotHyperbole completely lacking in hyperbole]] even if [[ExactWords it really sounds like it does]].
* '''Played For Drama''': Damien is only delivering the threats to Alex because he himself is being threatened, and makes the threats vague because he is just as upset about what his bosses plan to do to Susan.
* '''Played For Horror''': Damien already killed one of Alex's [[WouldHurtAChild children]] to [[MakeAnExampleOfThem make perfectly clear]] that his threat to kill Alex's other child, his wife, his parents and his dog, disguised as him saying he's sorry for the child's passing, [[ProveIAmNotBluffing are not a bluff]].
