* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: When Gloria furiously tells Cricket that he conned her with the skull-slimming product, Cricket replies that "con" is such a strong word. He reasons that he never told her that people didn't want any, and she didn't ask if people did. So, he concludes, that they probably [[InsaneTrollLogic conned each other]]? This is the final straw for Gloria's thin patience.

* TranquilFury: Gloria is demanding that Cricket give her the money she gave him back, but he admits that he spent it already. This causes the already irate Gloria to have her dialogue towards him to be ''dripping'' with cold fury.
