Funny lines that may go unnoticed

""I can also recommend the ostrich steak, very lean, locally raised."

LOL! I've used that line more than once to change the subject...

I don't think my absolute favourite one has been put up yet...it's so subtle it got very few laughs in the theaters I saw this in...it's when Miles is buying the Barely Legal and when the checkout guy grabs one, Miles replies, "No, no...the new one." First because of the patent earnestness with which he requests it, just like everything he requests, from glasses of wine to spinach croissants. Second because of the implications of him knowing which one was new. You don't have to have bought porn in a convenience store to find that LOL funny, but it helps...

Two other already mentioned faves are "she thinks you're a writer" and "his mother just died". But neither can top the Barely Legal moment.

I wonder what the not-quite-barely-legal girls in his class would think of him, um, reading Barely Legal...


You just keep throwing your feathers, mister, before I put you in a hospital.

One subtle line that I think probably goes unnoticed is when Miles is gassing up the car just before Jack drives it into the tree is Miles telling Jack something to the effect that Miles won't be welcome back in the area after Jack's shenanigans. Which is an obvious reference to the fact that Miles will never be welcomed back into Victoria's life since Miles cheated on her. Jack then tells Miles that there was a nice way to say that, which turns out to be when Victoria tells Miles that she's pregnant, at which point, Miles finally gets it and realizes that he's saving his prized bottle of wine for a "special occasion" that's never going to happen.

Crashing the car scene was hilarious. Completely misses the tree, breaks a fence, and nosedives into a ditch.

As they take the boxes of wine out of the trunk...

Miles: "I think you broke a couple"
Jack: "Whatever... sorry"
Miles: "No, no... it's not 'whatever', you *beep* derelict"

"You can't kill yourself before you have even been published!"

Or

Jack - "I couldn't write that!"
Miles - "Me neither, I think its Bukowski."

Or

Miles - "Excuse me, sir, my friend was the one balling your wife a few hours ago, yeah, sorry about that. He seems to have left his wallet here. Mind if I come poke around for a minute?"

Jack (Serious as can be) - "Yeah, man. Just like that."

How about---"here's your wallet." you know the scene. It is not the words that are funny but the setting in which they are said. It is something you have to see ----to get why it is so flippin hilarious........

I wanna be sedated....

'wow, I'll bet she's two tons of fun.'
