* IHaveThisFriend: Father Mulcahy does a variation on this when he gives his sermon at the climax of the episode, telling a story about himself and Sturgis:
-->''I want to tell you about two men, each facing his own crisis. The first man you know rather well...The first man thought he was facing a crisis, but what he really was doing was trying to impress someone. He was looking for recognition, encouragement, a pat on the back. And whenever that recognition seemed threatened, he reacted rather childishly. [[NeverMyFault Blamed everyone for his problems but himself]], because he was thinking only of himself.''
* ItsAllAboutMe: Father Mulcahy acts this way for most of the episode, until he hears about Sturgis.
