* GenreSavvy: One of the clerks says he reads a lot of screenplay books. When the family is later cornered on the cliff, he tells his co-worker that this is the part where it looks like the protagonist has lost but will instead double down. Peter opts to take his chances by jumping off the cliff (saying it worked for Rambo), with the rest of the family reluctantly following.
