* Shrike tells Beebs that they can't regret their choices [[TemptingFate no matter what]]. After accepting a distress call to find it is from Scratch, not only does Shrike have a look of regret on his face, but Beebs throws his words back at him.
* Scratch's desperate attempts to get out of waiving what Shrike owes him which are [[ComicallySmallBribe ten percent off his goods]]. When Shrike doesn't budge, he then says eleven percent is as far as he can go before some debris falls on his tail, forcing him to promise to waive the debts.
* When escaping from Them, Shrike is desperately pressing the button on the elevator to no avail. Then Scratch starts pressing the same button which Shrike [[SkewedPriorities tells him not to]], resulting in the two of them getting into a SissyFight.

*** Becomes even funnier if you assume that last one is a callback to Shrike's issues with the parrot-like Nobert in episode 1.

** Shrike tattles on Scratch like a schoolchild, even wiggling his head as he stretches out the last word.
-->Beebs! ''BEEBS''! He's doing it agaaaaaaain!
** Skritch dramatically zooms in and out on Beebs' face to capture his reaction to the plush.
** Beebs can't ''believe'' Scratch...didn't tell him the plushies were ready! Shrike's smug expression melts into total disbelief at this.
** Why is Beebs fully behind the project? He just wanted to see what he looked like small, and huggable.
** The Beebs and Shrike plushes give each other a couple looks before Beebs gets launched at another plush.
** Scratch gets so excited telling people to order the plush that he starts to hock a hairball before the audio cuts out.
