Spider Kiss/YMMV


"There are those people in this world who were born for evil. They never bring any real happiness to anyone; they can only cause misery, heartache, and trouble. The Hitlers, the Capones, the little people with a touch of rot about them. Everyone knows someone like that. But few of them have any range and power; they're limited. What if they get loose, gain status?"

  • Jerkass Woobie: As noted in Dark and Troubled Past on the main page, Stag tries to portray himself as this.
    • A more straightforward example: Asa Kemp and (especially) his wife Ruth. When they realize that Stag is going to New York City with The Colonel and Shelly, Ruth blurts out: "They're taking him away, and they're here to jew us out of our share!" This does not endear them to Shelly Morgenstern, whose father is a cantor. [1] Still, even Shelly feels sorry for the Kemps after seeing how badly Stag treats them, despite all they did for him.
  • Moral Event Horizon: It's hard to say when Stag crosses this line, since he seems to have been born on the wrong side of it.
  1. ↑ To give Ruth a little credit, Shelly hadn't been introduced to her by name, so she didn't know he was Jewish.
