Drake: Good job, Gos. Too bad you had to find out your idol was just a rotten self-centered egomaniac interested only in cheap publicity. Gosalyn: Hey, don't be so hard on yourself dad! Drake: I was talking about Bianca Beakley!

Literal Ass-Kicking: Gosalyn attacks the Bugmaster and her minions by shooting them in the butts with the Bugmaster's gun.
Stealing the Credit: When Bianca and her news crew arrive in the middle of a crime bust, Darkwing takes the opportunity to give a self-congratulatory interview, letting Launchpad do all the work of taking down the crooks and only giving him a cursory mention at the end of his speech.
