* ButtMonkey: Becky Butter. Poor Becky, during the course of the game you have to serve her a drink which makes her sick, steal her used panties, have a pigeon crap in her coffee (which causes her to be sick again) and finally ruin her date with Lance. That being said, the way she behaves makes her an AssholeVictim.

** Remember what happened in the original game when you died? Larry was taken to a secret lab below the streets, he was repaired, and a new Larry was released to the world, with an elevator that sent him to the street outside Lefty's bar (where you start the game). The lab is now a ruin, but one of those bodies came back to life and used the elevator... and that's how the game starts.
*** Speaking of that scene, if you die there is a similar scene (and in RetrauxFlashback style to boot). However, you return to the exact point before death, instead of having to restore or restart.
