  • One of the limo guys catches Ray Bones beating the crap out of Harry in Harry's office. The limo guy threatens to shoot Ray with the gun he's got tucked into his pants. Ray, holding his own gun, asks the limo guy if he's one of those "quick-draw artists". Just as the limo guy realizes what that means, and tries to bluff his way out of it by estimating that Ray's gun will jam up on him, Ray shoots him dead with a big grin on his face.
  • Bear tricking Bo into being shoved over his own balcony - the same one that he'd told Bear to rig so that it would give "just like in the movies" to kill Chili.
    • Earlier, Chili's fight with Bear in the airport garage is a rather one-sided affair, but afterward Chili helps Bear up and chats him up, winning Bear to his side. It's a subtle Awesome moment, but it underscores how Chili plays the game better than everybody else around him.
  • How Chili resolves his running feud with Ray Bones: Buying him off with the $500,000 stashed in that airport locker so that Ray thinks he's getting all the money... and with Chili knowing Ray is too dumb to notice the DEA agents who'll pounce on Ray when he opens that locker.
