The Deal Is Off Unless It's Tonight
Kenny is bitten by a spider and panics, convinced he is dying. The family tries to calm him and argues about whether he needs a hospital. Meanwhile David uses the chaos to negotiate, demanding half a million dollars in hazard pay and threatening to hand the shipment back unless the boss agrees.
The scene splits into two tones at once: slapstick with Kenny and cold negotiation on the phone. The family's reaction to the bite is pure panic management, and their first instinct is not to help him but to keep the trip on schedule. In the other half, David finally holds a card of his own. He stops being the errand boy and names a price, and the threat to double-cross his boss is the first real leverage he has had all film. The line "That is amazing. Will you let me know if he develops super powers?" keeps the tone light while the money talk stays deadly serious underneath.
