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.

This one hasn't been mentioned yet....

The whole part when the group playing behind Miles & Jack on the golf course hits into them is awesome.

"That F@#$er hit into us!"

And then Miles takes their ball and hits it right back at them, and goes, " Oh, oh, look out." and then chuckles.

Also, that may have been the only shot that Miles hit well!! lol.

Miles to Jack: "You fvcking derelict" the delivery cracks me up every time.

"I'm leaving, i've assessed the situation, and i'm going".

Not really a line that goes unnoticed, but something that Jack does that makes me laugh is when he and Miles see Maya the first time and she goes to their table and Jack's head is pointed up looking at Maya's face and then it makes a very pointed shift and he blatantly stares at her chest. Once it was pointed out on the commentary, I always notice it and laugh.

Roll the ugliness

Love that little dig he gets in on Jack there. Ha!

Hey was that John Macenroe at the golf course clubhouse, offended when Jack talks about boxes and Johnsons a little too loudly? If so, what an ironic cameo!

"It must have been Gary at the Hitching Post..."

Not a line per se, but when Jack comes back to the room, freezing, after running naked for several miles. As he tells the story Miles just starts busting out laughing, seemingly realizing that he's got it together while Jack is the idiot.

The silent and sarcastic thumbs up at breakfast. Hilarious!

I love it when Miles totally throws Gary, from the Hitching Post, under the bus to cover for telling Maya that Jack is engaged.

What a douche!
