* Davey publicly taking out his anger on Whitey after being forced to listen to him describe his parent's death by calling him and Eleanore every mean name he can think of, then capping it off by yelling at Whitey that nobody in town knows he exists.

** As difficult as it is to sympathize with Davey, one can't help but feel ''some'' degree of it when he repeatedly asks Whitey not to talk about the day his parents died, only for Whitey to do so anyway.

* During his probation, Davey coaches a middle school basketball team with Whitey. When one of the team members, a fat boy, trips and falls during a game, [[{{Jerkass}} Davey]] [[KickTheDog fatshames him and tells him to get a bra,]] which makes the poor kid cry. The kid is later seen looking for bras at Victoria's Secret, and runs off crying again when an employee questions him. Even though it's ''technically'' PlayedForLaughs, it's rather clear that he was seriously hurt by Davey's words.

** Additionally, Davey's shaming of pretty much the entire town, showing just what Whitey'd done for them, or what they'd done to him for that entire time. If you didn't see Whitey as a Woobie before, you sure as hell would after that.

Added DiffLines:

* The idea that no one in town ever really tries to understand Davey or his loss. It’s easy to write the guy off as an asshole, but anyone who knows his story should at least be able to sympathize with him even if they don’t necessarily approve of his behavior.
