Bittersweet Ending: The pig died the night the two junkies stole her. However, he's helped Amir and his father reforge their damaged bond, potentially helping the older man become less of a ruthless jerk, and demonstrates a willingness to open up again by shaking Amir's hand as a friend. The film closes with him finally listening to the cassette tape of his lost wife, no longer so emotionally injured that he can't even bear to hear her voice and indicating that accepting the loss of his pig has helped him grieve and move on, beginning to accept the loss of his wife as well.

Bait-and-Switch: Done several times to subvert the idea that the film was going to be a John Wick-esque action thriller. Notably, at one point Robin infiltrates a shadowy fighting ring run by the Portland culinary scene. Rather than kicking ass, Rob gets beaten severely, but does get the info he needs.

Bestiality Is Depraved: Several characters question whether Robin's relationship with his pig was physical. He denies it vehemently, and while he clearly loves his pig as more than just a tool for finding truffles, there is no evidence that he did anything untoward with her.
