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.

Maya: So what's the title?
Miles: The Day After Yesterday.
Maya: Oh, you mean today?
And Miles looks at her like that never occurred to him.

usually, they start you out on wines that have learning disabilities

the way Jack says "windmill" after Miles tells Maya they're just gonna go to the motel and crash

Miles gets his turn, though, when he repeats the word "deep" after Jack talks about being with Stefanie. Also love the way he says "oh, you've been thinking" in this scene too.

And for lines they don't say, when they first go back to Stefanie's place, most people are still laughing from the "1 for you, 3 for me" bit and don't hear when Miles says "are you sure you want to do this". Jack turns round, looks at Miles for a second, sighs and then carries on. It's brilliant.

sorry, one more. "Did you have trouble performing? That's a shame" gets me every time - again, the way he says it more than anything

sorry, thought of another one. When Miles asks Jack if Victoria's new husband will be coming to the wedding with her, and Jack says "what do you think?!"
Don't get me wrong, it was a dumb question from Miles, but damn Jack, bit of compassion here!!
