• Aaron's classic attack of flop sweats when anchoring the news.
  Producer: This is more than Nixon ever sweated.
  • Aaron, opening his jacket to show gigantic underarm pits on his shirt: "Is this noticeable?"
  • When Aaron tells Jane about how bad he was, getting calls from viewers.
    Jane: People called in complaining about your sweating?
    Aaron: No, nice calls, worried that I was having a heart attack.
  • Tom, who taped the show, doesn't help.
    Jane: It wasn't unprecedented, was it?!
    Tom: (chuckling) Not unless you count Singin' in the Rain.
• Aaron's 'Devil' speech to Jane. You know the one.
  Aaron Altman: I know you care about him. I've never seen you like this about anyone, so please don't take it wrong when I tell you that I believe that Tom, while a very nice guy, is the Devil.
  Jane Craig: This isn't friendship.
  Aaron Altman: What do you think the Devil is going to look like if he's around? Nobody is going to be taken in if he has a long, red, pointy tail. No. I'm semi-serious here. He will look attractive and he will be nice and helpful and he will get a job where he influences a great God-fearing nation and he will never do an evil thing... he will just bit by little bit lower standards where they are important. Just coax along flash over substance... Just a tiny bit. And he will talk about all of us really being salesmen. And he'll get all the great women.
• This exchange:
  Aaron: Wouldn't this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive? If needy were a turn-on?
  Jane: Call me if you get weird.
• Big finish!

  Blair: (smugly after getting the tape to air on time) Fellas...
• When Jane has to abandon Tom during the Libyan emergency news break, Tom is visibly nervous. He burbles at the end, "In other words, I think we're all okay."
  Ernie: (amused and annoyed) Who the hell cares what you think?
• Aaron's bitter prediction of where he and Jane will end up in five years.
  Aaron: Anyway, I’ll be walking along with my wife and my two lovely children and we’ll bump into you. And my youngest son will say something, and I will tell him it’s not nice to make fun of single, fat ladies.
• Martin seeing through Paul's false sympathy when the news station has a mass firing.
  Martin: You know I'm just old enough to be flattered by the term "early retirement."
  Paul: That's wonderful. What a lovely line. Now if there's anything I can do for you.
  Martin: (deadpan) Well I certainly hope you die soon.
• Jennifer's reaction to Tom's penis shadow.
