--->'''Sigmund:''' The Clock, much like time itself, is a gift, and not to be tampered with. But like any father, my only wish is that my son does that which makes him feel whole. You are an intelligent and logical being, Clank, but intelligence and logic would have been wasted gifts without honor and loyalty. I am proud to see you came into those on your own. So, should The Clock be too small for your plans, I pray the cosmos light the way towards a future, you yourself design. And remember, the universe has a wonderful sense of humor. The trick.. is learning how to take a joke. Heheheheheh!

* The aftermath of the Battle of Axiom City. Several of the Terachnoids go on the radio after the [=VX-99=] is destroyed to thank and praise Ratchet for saving them, with one even calling him a hero. At the same time, Azimuth tells Ratchet that if he knew the latter survived Tachyon's genocide against the lombaxes, he would've taken Ratchet in and raised him, before finishing that he and Ratchet are family.
* After returning from the past, where they defeated Commander Argos in the Battle of Gimlick Valley, Morklon is in a much better state than it was when Ratchet & Clank were first stranded there.

* All of Orvus’ interactions with Clank are this. During his first lesson as junior caretaker, even though Clank is confused by the presence of his supposed creator, Orvus has a very fatherly connection with him.

* Ratchet is willing to let Clank stay in the Great Clock if that's what he truly wants. But Clank, at the end, realizes what exactly he wants;
-->'''Clank:''' I cannot stay. Discovering my family has made me realize that I cannot leave Ratchet. Not until he finds his own.
** Before going, Clank promotes ''Sigmund'' to Senior Caretaker.
-->'''Sigmund:''' ''Senior'' Caretaker? ''(Yells in elation, then bows thankfully at Clank)'' Thank you, sir.\\
'''Clank:''' Take care, Sigmund.
