foreshadowing by Larry

Something I just noticed. In the dinner scene right after Cool has met the family, the mother asks Larry why he didn't tell them he had a son. He says he didn't know until a few months ago. Then Cool's mother brought him over and said, "You take Cool. I shot someone. I have to leave the country!" Larry then says, "That's a PARENT?"

This foreshadows Larry's actions at the end of the movie, when he in effect tells his father, "You take Cool. I have to leave the country." I wonder if he's saying to himself then, "That's a PARENT?" At least Cool's mother was responsible enough to ensure Cool was taken care of before she fled. Larry hadn't given Cool a second thought until his father brought up, what about Cool.
