Grim Fandango/Fridge

Fridge Logic

 * If Don Copal was taking orders from Hector why was he demanding Manny get premium clients or risk being fired? He must have known Manny had no means of doing so.
 * It would be reasonable to assume Copal had no reason not to be hard on Manny for poor work, even if he knew there was no way for him to do better. Anything less than his usual hardass behavior would be suspicious. Alternately, he wanted an excuse to fire the guy.
 * Burning beavers (in't it a great name for a band?) are able to swim in a river of tar without setting it on fire.
