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.

didn't see this one yet: after Miles and Jack golf, Jack offers an off-color encouragement of why Miles should get together with Maya, and a nearby golfer sitting with his son says "Hey, you wanna watch your mouth?"

Miles, before they are about to go into the restaurant to meet the girls, shakes his bottle of prescription meds at Jack after Jack asks if he has his meds and Miles says "Aye aye Captain"...great dekivery by Giamatti and cracks me up every time I see it...

When Jack runs into the tree and Miles says. "What the *beep* that's hilarious. And when Miles says "That must be it"

Lots of funny ones on this thread so far. My favorite is the one where they are starting the drive home and both are standing outside of the car at the gas station drops me to my knees everytime. Miles facial expression and sarcasm are unbelievable.

Jack: "Hey, you know, you oughta invite Maya to the wedding."

Miles: "Hmm. Somehow I think inviting Maya to the wedding...is not the right move at this juncture. I don't know. In fact, after all of your "shenanigans" it's gonna be hard for me to ever go to The Hitching Post again."

Jack: "You know,there was a nice way to respond to that."
