* PragmaticVillainy: Hyena's plan to steal the diamond was to simply smash the case and shoot up the place while running for the door. Jackal scolds such a plan, due to both the lack of style involved and how it would be a surefire way to end up in prison. He prefers a far more covert strategy, which gets interrupted by Xanatos buying the diamond outright. Jackal still tries to play it calmly, only for Hyena to flip out and make a scene. By that point, Jackal figures he has nothing to lose by doing similarly, though he still pointedly reminds Hyena of the mess she caused.
