Matchstick Men/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fridge Brilliance: When Roy asks Dr. Klein for advice on how to deal with Angela, he tells him that the key to dealing with kids is just to "be as honest and open with them as possible". It sounds pretty innocuous, until we learn that Angela and Dr. Klein are working together to con Roy out of all of his money. With this advice, Klein was subtly telling Roy not to withhold any secrets from Angela, since his plan relied on Roy giving Angela access to his account.
  • Memetic Mutation: "Have you ever been dragged on the sidewalk and beaten until you... PISSED BLOOD?!"
  • The Woobie: Roy can be considered this.
