Line 16: * {{spoiler\|[[Bittersweet Ending]]: Because the Guy [[Did Not Get the Girl]]}}. * [[Boy Meets Girl]] * {{spoiler\|[[Did Not Get the Girl]]: Contrary to what is expected of quirky romances, Girl remains faithful to her estranged husband (who returns by the end of the film), and Guy leaves on a jet plane to win back his ex-girlfriend}}. * [[Duet Bonding]] * [[Meet Cute]]: {{quote\|'''Guy''': [[Deadpan Snarker\|"Ten cents! That's brilliant! Thanks!"]]}} * [[The New Irish]] * [[No Name Given]]: Neither of the two main characters is ever referred to by name, and they're credited as "Guy" and "Girl.". Guy's dad, Guy's girlfriend, Girl's {{spoiler\|husband}} and Girl's mother are also unnamed. * {{spoiler\|[[Race For Your Love]]: Guy searches for Girl before he leaves for his flight to say his goodbyes, but ultimately cannot find her. Instead, he sends her a piano, which is what she has always wanted}}. * [[Shown Their Work]]: The film showcases Glen Hansard's knowledge of the minutiae of busking, such as cover versions earning far more than original songs. * [[Spiritual Sequel]]: inIn ''[[The Commitments]]'', Glen Hansard plays Outspan and finishes the film busking on the streets of Dublin. Cut forward twenty years and Glen Hansard stars in film which opens with his character... busking on the streets of Dublin. Bonus points due the fact that his character in ''Once'' isn't named. Line 30: * [[Adaptation Expansion]]: There are some new characters added and others have their roles expanded. For instance, the banker from the film who approves the loan due to his own love of music plays cello for the group's band. * [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: Girl, probably due to the fact that it would be tough to make the painfully shy characterization from the film work well on stage. * [[Translation Convention]]: When two Czech characters talk privately, they speak English while Czech subtitles are projected above the stage. This later becomes a [[Checkovs Gun]] during the [[Bilingual Bonus]] scene mentioned above, where when she says {{spoiler\|"I love you"}} to Guy in Czech, it is subtitled in English. {{reflist}}
