The Mistress | |
Last Holiday / int_15395adc | comment |
The Mistress: Ms. Burns to Kragen. She is ridiculed and scorned for it at work but holds out hope Kragen will leave his wife for her. Georgia flat out tells her she is a fool to believe that will actually happen. | |

Good Is Not Dumb | |
Last Holiday / int_21ef4ccd | comment |
Good Is Not Dumb: Georgia might seem naive, but she is a very good saleswoman and gives some solid advice to other characters. Despite all of Kragen’s attempts to humiliate her, Georgia is usually one step ahead of him, half the time without even meaning to be. | |

She Cleans Up Nicely: Georgia goes from boring and regular retail outfits (especially since she's timid), and then shows up at the hotel in the famous red dress on the cover. | |

Money to Throw Away | |
Last Holiday / int_399b3dbe | comment |
Money to Throw Away: Georgia, while supposedly not having enough money to afford an operation, stays in a lavish hotel suite for $4,000 per night. Not to mention she pays for a first class flight, a helicopter ride, a full spa treatment, a new high-fashion wardrobe, and more. It does get justified since her surgery bill was apparently more than she could afford without any coverage note and the odds of surviving such surgery are often really low at that, and she figured she wouldn't need it anymore...and then she also won big in the casino, which undoubtedly replenished her funds, and then some. | |

Last Holiday / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Miss Gunther is revealed to be this. At first coming across as unfriendly and cold, but once she learns Georgia is dying, she makes an effort to be kind to her. Her earlier behaviour is implied to be the result of years spent waiting on selfish and entitled guests leaving her with a mild case of misanthropy. | |

Last Holiday / int_510e5a9 | comment |
Sassy Black Woman: At first inverted, then played straight. Georgia Byrd is shy and timid, and it's her petite friend, Rochelle, that is constantly trying to push her out of her shell with antics like yelling her crush's name across the department store. Once Georgia's Character Development kicks in, though, this trope is in full swing. | |

Last Holiday / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Miss Gunther. Kragen hires her to spy on Georgia, but she befriends Georgia and refuses to give him any information after finding out Georgia is dying. Ms. Burns. Once Georgia bluntly tells her that Kragen is never going to leave his wife for her, she steadily lightens up until Kragen attempts to humiliate Georgia, at which point she dumps him and promises to help his wife take everything in the divorce. | |

Last Holiday / int_781c0908 | comment |
Last Day to Live: Georgia believes she is dying, so she resolves to do everything she's ever dreamed of, or as much of it as she can, in the time remaining. This includes ordering every dish of the day simply to try it and spending all her money on luxuries because she can't take it with her. | |

Angry Chef | |
Last Holiday / int_7ac848c2 | comment |
Angry Chef: Subverted by Chef Didier. He's introduced yelling at his staff, but he's actually complaining to no one in particular about his frustrations over customers who ask for alterations, which sucks the joy out of his job. He's actually friendly when he turns his attention to the work at hand and his mood brightens even further when he receives Georgia's order and sees that she wants to try his entire menu as he conceived it. Later, he gets angry because he's shortstaffed and overworked but, again, his mood brightens when Georgia volunteers to help out. | |

Comically Small Bribe: When Georgia's Pointy-Haired Boss at her retail job hears her decide to Take This Job and Shove It (because amongst other things, he never made her know that she was the best saleswoman on the store, to prevent her from asking for a raise or a promotion), he tries to buy her back by offering a raise... of $1.50 an hour. What makes it worse? He started out at 25 cents...and only raised said bribe 25 cents more each time. | |

Nice to the Waiter: Georgia wins a lot of the hotel staff over by being nice to them. Having been a retail worker she empathizes with them. Kragen, meanwhile, has a waiter fired for accidentally spilling a single drop of wine on his hand. | |

Cruel Twist Ending: Averted. Georgia was misdiagnosed and gets her happy ending. Unlike George in the original 1950 version, who also finds he was misdiagnosed and is looking forward to a better life… but is then promptly killed in a car accident. | |

Machiavelli Was Wrong | |
Last Holiday / int_c271fe08 | comment |
Machiavelli Was Wrong: Kragen's cutthroat business strategy is actually quite terrible for business. Despite Mr. Adamian knowing that Georgia is his best saleswoman, he treats her very disrespectfully and offers her incredibly paltry rewards, which drive Georgia to quit once she finds out she's dying and has no reason to put up with his bullshit anymore. Kragen's guests and Mrs. Burns also ditch him once they find out much of an ass he is. | |
