Funny lines that may go unnoticed

Just wanted to hear some of your favorite underrated lines. There's a lot of good subtle ones.
My favorite is...

"One time we drank a 92 Opus 1 with smoked salmon and artichokes, but we didn't care."
Saying "but we didn't care" makes this one hilarious. As if Jack would understand that you're not supposed to pair that wine with salmon.

And I like Miles saying....

"I can also recommend the ostrich steak, very lean, locally raised." to get Jack to shut up, plus Jack mentioning later that he had to run through an ostrich farm.

When they're about to leave the restaurant and Jack growls at the girls and then yells "Waiter!" right as the scene cuts away. That makes me laugh every time.

I love when Jack is introduced to Maya and he responds with "Hiya"

When Jack and Miles go to that fat couple's house to retrieve his wallet, and when Miles refuses to go, Jack says something along the lines of "I have to do EVERYTHING..."

"You didn't get any did you??
*awkward silence*...............
you're a homo"

lol, giamatti's response was gold too, on the commentary they said most of it was improvised. "yeah, i'm a homo, yeah. write out my gay confession and i'll sign it".

After Stephany is done whooping on Jack with a motorcycle helmet.

Stephany: *beep* (looks at Miles) "You too!"

Miles looks up in shock and disbelief.

Miles: "Me?"

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike Erganian: Good I like non fiction. There is so much to know about this world. I think you read something somebody just invented, waste of time.
Miles Raymond: That's an interesting perspective.

Giamatti's delivery cracked me up.

What makes that scene for me is the t-shirt that Stephanie is wearing, a shirt with a peace symbol on it!

Let's never come here again because it would never be as much fun.

This line always makes me burst out laughing....

Jack: "This chick in the jacuzzi...dude...I'm going f---ing nuts up here."

Something to that effect.

Dude means nice guy. Dude means a regular sort of person.

Lines that aren't necessarily unnoticed, just some of my favorites:

'Miles, did you drink and dial?'
'she said her husband wouldn't get home from work until six. Fugger comes rollin' in at five!'

Miles: "You ran all the way from Solvang? That's five clicks, Jackson!"
