Eventually one of his colleagues on the call-center, Gus Dickinson, suggested an idea to Charlie that they will try to blackmail a priest who happens to be listed in the company database of visitors to illegal porn websites so that they could get some extra money. Along with the help of Gus' companion, Josie, they began to execute the plan. However, when Gus tries to retrieve the money from the Reverend's house, things went downhill from there as the Reverend wielding a gun towards Gus and accidentally kills him.

 Anyone Can Die: Some of the major characters died in this movie such as Gus and Charlie near the end of the film. And so does the minor or supporting role characters such as the reverend, the reverend's wife, the Reverend's wife second lover, the Deputy and the Special Agent.

 Black Comedy: The film has moments filled with this, such as Charlie getting fired after pranking the customers, Gus getting his face punched after he has sex with Josie, Charlie's reaction after he sees a snuff-film that makes him vomit and so on.

 All for Nothing: Combined with Shoot the Shaggy Dog story. Gus's plan of blackmailing a person in order to retrieve a huge sum of money failed big time for the protagonists. This also matches perfectly with the movie title itself.
