Engineered Public Confession: Knowing they would probably check him for a wire, Peter brings a boom box into the back room of the club. When Widow tells him to shut it off, he hits record instead of stop. | |

| Bringing Down the House / int_927289f5 | comment |
Cathartic Scream: Peter listens to a (presumably long) confession from his teenage daughter about all the things in her life. After hearing this, he very calmly walks upstairs, takes a pillow, holds it to his face, and screams. Then proceeds to take a couple pills, then scream into the pillow again. | |

Jerkass: Ashley, Peter's conniving, manipulative, gold digging, racist, alcoholic, self-absorbed sister-in-law. She may also count as a Hate Sink since she offers nothing to the movie except being a giant bitch. | |
