Yeah, I was really put off by the "Latino guy muttering about the devil" thing. Like, why don't they interview him? If Patty speaks Spanish, which the scene implied, why doesn't she ask him what he saw and where and how big? It would've legitimized him, put some Spanish into the film (it's set in NYC after all!) and shown Patty's skills as useful. Instead it's a joke about Latino people and superstition (he's saying "El Diablo" over and over.)
