tempeace 

A brief moment where two opposing parties temporarily cease conflicts due to an external strange, or out-of-place, event.

Doctor Strange when fighting Kaecilius: *picks up a random artifact*
Kaecilius (pauses): You don't know how to use that, do you?
Doctor Strange: *shrugs*
Movie Watcher: Oh hey, that was a pretty funny tempeace.

A perceivedly-paltry payment/reward-share of da total yield/reserve dat creates seething-anger emotions in da recipient of said "small potatoes" allotment, knowing dat everyone else got a considerably-larger share of da remaining nine-tenths of da spoils.

If Acey promised Snakes only "ten pissent" in return for "getting the stuff", said shifty-eyed sneak might have resentfully viewed said minuscule-sector dole-out as being "tempercent", considering all of the effort and/or danger that he'd likely had to go through in order to obtain said valuable object/information, especially when it included his having to also guardedly interact with the dangerous Tommy-gun-wielding Johnny merely to collect his payment!
