• When John and Frank talk on the radio for the first time, though neither of them knows it yet. Frank criticizes John for not loving baseball.
  Frank: Let me tell you something. A thousand years from now, when school kids' study about America, they're gonna learn about three things. The Constitution, rock and roll, and baseball.
• John's talk with the six-year-old Gordo.
  Gordo: This is the Space Cowboy. I'm an intergalactic traveler from the Federation Planet Earth.
  • John then calls himself Santa Claus, and offers the younger Gordo some advice.
  John: Now this is important, something you've got to remember for a long time: Yahoo.
  Gordo: What's that?
  John: Well, it's a magic word. It's like, um... Like "Abra Kadabra", but even better. Try it out, kid. Yahoo.
  Gordo: Yahoo.
  John: You got it, space cowboy. Now go upstairs and write it down.
  Gordo: You got it, mister, I mean, Santa Claus.
  • There's an extended version of this scene that's even funnier.
• From the epilogue, Gordo's horror when his car is hit by a baseball as the neighborhood all gets together to play a game, and everyone else laughs over it.
  Gordo: (after extracting the ball from his wrecked headlight) Thank you very much!
• Satch initially didn't believe Frank's story about contacting his son from the future over his radio. So, Frank gives him a prediction of something that happened during a baseball game. When it does happen, his expression is both amazed and giddily amused by the accuracy of the prediction.
  • And poor Julia, who has just received a wrongful accusation from Satch that her husband is the Nightingale Killer. Is confused by the same man acting strangely happy over a baseball game.
