* VerbalTic: Larry has a habit of clicking his tongue three time between items when he listing things; especially when he is trying to look worldly wise, such as when he is reeling off nicknames for the Montana Kid's Colt .45. The Kid gets exasperated and snaps at him to stop doing that.

* CoughSnarkCough: During the heated discussion between Sean and Jack in the schoolhouse about whether Sean is a killer (or ''only'' a killer), Larry goes *cough* killer *cough* during a lull in the argument. Sean just looks at him in disbelief and says:
-->"Do you think I can't hear you when you do that?"

Added DiffLines:

* DisproportionateRetribution: Sean claims that all of the eleven killings he committed were justified, and lists the reasons for all of them. However, one of them was his shooting a man he saw beating his dog: although he is at pains to point out that it was really savage beating. However, when his relationship with Jane causes him to question his life choices, this is the first killing that he he questions the justness of.

Added DiffLines:

* DancesAndBalls: The Mounties hold a dance at the fort to celebrate the arrival of the new recruits, and invite the local citizens to attend. This gives both Sean and Corporal Kent the opportunity to display their romantic interest in Jane, and also to demonstrate their NiceGuy credentials: when Jane arrives with Sean, Kent insists that she dance with him as he was the one who brought her, while later Sean pretends that a leg injury he received in a beating that Kent rescued him from is worse than it actually is, and insists that Kent dance with Jane so she will not be disappointed.


Added DiffLines:

* ObfuscatingDisability: A minor example, but Sean pretends that the injury to his knee is much worse than it actually is and prevents him from dancing, to give the smitten Kent the opportunity of dancing with Jane during the dance at the fort.
