9	* InelegantBlubbering: Deborah does this after Barnacles shouts at her.
10	* ItsAllMyFault:
11	** This is Barnacles' reaction to [[spoiler:Shellington's mental breakdown]].
12	** [[spoiler:Shellington]] has this reaction upon hearing about Barnacles and Deborah's falling-out.
13	* PrecisionFStrike:
14	--> '''Deborah''': You're[[note]]Barnacles[[/note]] just like my dad, you ''bastard''!
15	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Two back-to-back:
16	** Barnacles gives Deborah a major dressing-down for [[spoiler:trying to remain optimistic despite what happened at the end of "The Swell Shark"]], culminating in ''[[spoiler:declaring that he should never have chosen her to be an Octonaut.]]''

20	* VomitIndiscretionShot: Unlike in "The Swell Shark", here we get a [[SarcasmMode lovely]] shot of Shellington throwing up onscreen.
21	* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre:
22	--> '''Captain Barnacles''': I aimed to treat you[[note]]Shellington[[/note]] respectfully from the moment I found you. And to this day, you've proven time and time again that you still deserve that respect.
23	* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Meta example; Barnacles is referred to without his title[[note]]so, he is called "Barnacles" and not "Captain Barnacles"[[/note]], signaling how royally he has screwed up.
