- The concert crowd laughing is reiterated; the inept burglars escaping a prison riot and reaching New York in a fish truck seems unlikely. — Bill Simmons
- The airport’s immediate picturesque skyline view is questioned without identifying the exact airport. — Bill Simmons
- The pigeon lady’s social isolation seems more substantial than her stated fear of heartbreak. — Bill Simmons
