  • In an otherwise very dark and serious film, Theo and Kee both using a Car Door Stop on the same guy.
  • As Theo starts asking Kee about the baby, he asks about the father. Kee replies that she's a virgin. Theo is clearly stunned... and then Kee starts laughing.
    Kee: Fuck knows. I don't know most of the wankers' names.
  • Jasper playing a bit of zen music.
  • Another Jasper scene - his joke about the convention to figure out why women aren't giving birth anymore. The punchline comes from out of nowhere and is so absolutely silly that you can't help but laugh.
  • The tense scene on the bus where Kee's water breaks just as a refugee guard enters the bus. In an attempt to make him keep moving by, Theo shouts that her amniotic fluid is actually piss, and tells the guard to smell it to confirm. The guard is absolutely grossed out, sneering "You people disgust me." Theo comes off as a madman demanding for people to smell random piss on the floor.
  • When the baby starts crying the middle of the shoot-out and Theo asks Kee how she (the baby) is:
  • Jasper having Theo call Syd a "facist pig" as the codeword.
  • Kee makes a joke about naming her baby Frolly. Theo is exasperated and says she can't name the first baby born in eighteen years something like Frolly.
    • She later changes her mind, just as Theo was getting used to Frolly.
