* AnAesop: Don't get competitive when it comes to making money.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When the Greens (and the audience) meet Chip for the first time, he's snapping his fingers at Bill demanding his attention, in many places snapping your fingers is considered rude, and is often a sign of abuse/bullying, doing that at school/at work/in a relationship, this should give you a hint about Chip's personality and how he's used to have his way. Then when he and Bill shake hands he notices Bill's severed finger and gets noticeably disgusted, he tries to hide how grossed he is in order to make Bill agree to sell his produce in his supermarket, but he can't stop seeing Bill's right hand and when the two stop shaking fingers, he takes off a handkerchief and cleans his hand, like if he touched something that is dirty or poisonous, this should give you a hint about how vain he is and how much he values his beauty.
