 Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Archie's second boss, a restauranteur, makes a big show of being warm, posh, and welcoming when Richie drops him off. The second Richie leaves, her smile disappears and she tells Archie she hates having to hire ex-convicts and smugly gives him the most demeaning jobs she can find.

 Ax-Crazy: Leon Little is a hitman who's been waiting thirty years for Harry and Archie to get out of jail so he can kill them, even though his employer has been dead for most of that time. Leon expresses regret that he didn't shoot Richie after knocking him unconscious in a hostage situation. When he's forced into an Enemy Mine situation with Harry and Archie during the train robbery, he suggests wrecking the train for the fun of it.

 Bearer of Bad News: Richie has to reluctantly tell Harry and Archie a lot of bad news upon their release (such as that Harry has reached mandatory retirement despite his desire to have a job and that the terms of their parole forbid them from hanging out for three years).
