* JerkassBall: Cricket totally hits this throughout the episode, given he always wanted to learn cuss words and now that he's learned one, he ends up spreading it amongst the choir, save for Tilly. And no matter what Bill tries to stop him, Cricket refuses to stop cussing, given he can't control what comes out of his mouth, and he'll say whatever he wants, when he wants. He immediately drops it once Bill gives an ArmorPiercingResponse over the decision whether cussing all the time is what he chooses to be, causing him to stop and finish the concert the way it should be.

'''Bill:''' ...You're right, Cricket.\\
'''Cricket:''' I ''am?''\\
'''Bill:''' Yup. I can't control what comes out of your mouth any more than I can control the wind.\\
'''Cricket:''' I can control the wind! Watch! ''(blows)''\\
'''Bill:''' What I'm tryin' to say is that, well... you're your own person, and it's time you made your own decisions. So, from now on, you can say whatever you want. I won't stop ya.\\
'''Cricket:''' Wow, really?\\
'''Bill:''' I hereby give you full permission to cuss; you've just gotta decide if that's the kind of person you want to be.
