3	* '''Exaggerated''':

5	** Norman gives Kyle a large stack of bills, while shoving him to the ground.
6	* '''Downplayed''': Norman is not very fond of Kyle, but after Kyle pushes him out of the way of an oncoming bicycle, casually says thanks.
7	* '''Justified''':
8	** Norman knows it's customary to show gratitude, but when it's geared towards someone he personally hates, it can be difficult for him.
9	** Norman is too arrogant to thank people he considers inferior to him, but when he does, it hurts his pride.
10	** Norman is a {{Jerkass}} who feels that thanking someone is a sign of weakness, but his [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold heart of gold got in the way.]]
11	** Normie is too young to understand the tertiary aspects of the situation, but mommy said he should say thank you to Kyle.
12	* '''Inverted''':
13	** Norman doesn't show any gratitude to Kyle, but deep down feels guilty about it.

30	'''Norman:''' I still do. I felt he deserves my gratitude whether I like it or not.
