Chekhov's Gun: The grenade that Mullins keeps in her fridge is later used during the climax against LeSoire. Subverted with the RPG, which gets a whole conversation about where it came from and how ridiculous a thing it is to keep in a fridge, and makes it onto the film's poster, but never gets used once. Doubles as Covers Always Lie. | |

The Heat / int_3a95b3cf | comment |
Instant Drama, Just Add Tracheotomy: "Idiots trying this when they don't know what they're doing" is used for a fantastic subversion of Chekhov's Skill. Just as Ashburn is getting chewed out by her partner for always thinking she knows better than everyone else, a guy next to them in the diner starts choking. Ashburn, who had half-watched a medical programme about tracheotomies earlier in the film, springs into action... succeeding only in nicking an artery and spraying the diner with blood by the time the ambulance arrives. | |

I Know Mortal Kombat: Subverted. Ashburn watches a video early in the movie describing how to perform an emergency tracheotomy. When a guy at a local Denny's starts choking, she tries to apply what she's learned and nearly kills the guy. Turns out all he needed was a good hard whack to get the piece of pancake out. The EMT that takes the guy to the hospital chews her out for this. | |

It's enforced with subtitles, where it says they are saying "knock." | |

Everyone Has Standards: Mullins is not afraid to use brute force to interrogate anyone, and threatens to shoot a perp in his dick to get a confession out of them. However, she has never actually gone through with it even once, and she's horrified when Ashburn is forced to shoot Larkin twice in the dick to save Mullins and her brother's lives. Both Ashburn and Mullins can't stand the albino FBI and his derogatory comments towards them due to being women, but they are also saddened when he is coldly murdered by Larkin when they arrive to rescue them, and is also revealed to be innocent when suspected to be the mole. | |

I Lied: After Ashburn takes one out of Mullins' book and shoots a drug lord in the crotch, Mullins reveals that she never had any bullets in the gun during her groin Russian Roulette on a perp earlier. (The J-frame S&W .38 is a five-shot revolver. If you count the trigger pulls during the earlier "shoot him in the dick" interrogation scene, there are five. The last one Julian didn't notice because he was hysterical with fear, but it proves that there were actally no live rounds in the weapon.) | |

Freudian Excuse | |
The Heat / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: When we meet Mullins' family, we see, to a degree, why she is what she is, as her family (other than her dad and Jason), besides being a bunch of assholes, have made her the unperson because she arrested her brother. From what can be guessed they might be the reason as to why Jason's a criminal in the first place. | |

Lame Pun Reaction | |
The Heat / int_cb0743c0 | comment |
Lame Pun Reaction: Ashburn's "tongue in cheek" quip when talking about a corpse who had his tongue cut out and shoved in his ass. Mullins and the coroner react with an incredibly awkward silence. | |

Un-person | |
The Heat / int_d558b013 | comment |
Unperson: Mullins' family pretends she doesn't exist after she arrested her brother Jason, to the point that the family photo in their house is folded down to obscure her face. The only ones who don't seem to feel like this is her dad and said brother, though she and the rest of the family reconcile at the end of the movie. | |

Rabid Cop: Mullins, to comical degrees. She threatens deadly force with abandon, breaks a suspect's hand, and threatens to shoot a prisoner's dick off, to name a few. | |

Failed Attempt at Drama | |
The Heat / int_d9563969 | comment |
Failed Attempt at Drama: One of the things that annoys Ashburn's coworkers is her "showboating". The first sign that she's a Fish out of Water in Boston is when she tries to drive off while talking to another agent, and nearly collides with a traffic jam. | |

Worst Aid | |
The Heat / int_de306ba6 | comment |
Worst Aid: Used for comedy when Ashburn, who was just getting chewed out by her partner for always thinking she knows better than everyone else, sees a guy next to them in the diner start choking. Ashburn, who had half-watched a medical programmer about tracheotomies earlier in the film, springs into action and nearly kills the guy. The EMT who takes the guy to the hospital minces no words explaining how dumb a move this was. | |

Brick Joke | |
The Heat / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Ashburn taking her neighbor's cat, to the point where she fools Mullins into thinking that is really her cat. During The Stinger, Mullins kidnaps the cat for Ashburn, only to realize that Ashburn was lying. Ashburn mistaking a large, bearded, long-haired man for Mullins when she first goes to the bar for her keys. Later, after the Binge Montage, she wakes up next to him on the table, thinking he's Mullins. At the beginning of the movie Ashburn is channel surfing and watches a few seconds of a program demonstrating how a tracheotomy is performed before walking away from the television. Later on, Ashburn sees a man choking in a diner and takes control of the situation by calmly performing the procedure ... unsuccessfully. She panics when she puts a straw in the man's neck and blood comes out, admitting to Mullins that she doesn't really know what she's doing. At this point Mullins pounds on the man's chest, causing the obstruction to come flying out. An emergency tracheotomy is a dangerous procedure that should only be attempted after all other steps have been taken to determine if it really is necessary. Ashburn took none of these steps, as one of the paramedics implies a few minutes later while criticizing her for being so reckless. | |
