When Amber and Mariah start drinking together, funny things happen.

  • The megaphone-wielding man makes highly ineffectual attempts to keep the treasure hunters away from Shiprock.
    "HEY! STOP IT! I'M WARNING YOU! STAY BACK! I HAVE A MEGAPHONE!"
  • When Mariah introduces Amber and Marina to Tess and Joe, Amber is less than impressed with the team.
    Amber: (narrating) I can only hope the highly trained, elite team are hidden in the bathroom.
  • When Amber and Marina sneak onto the guided tour, they end up getting the attention of an obnoxious woman named Linda, who offers her unsolicited opinions on the subject of discussion, earning the tour guide's ire.
  • Amber, realizing it might not be a good idea to give Linda her real name, introduces herself as Jane and Marina as Lacey. The dialogue windows temporarily replace the characters' names with their aliases.
  • Amber goes on ahead to listen to the tour guide, so she can find a lead on the next treasure. When she returns to Marina, who's been left behind to listen to Linda talk about all sorts of things, she's greeted with two words.
    Marina: Save. Me.
  • Finally, after Amber and Marina's search ends in failure, they run into Linda one last time, despite the fact that the tour group has a massive head start on them. Linda then assumes that they had sex.
  • When Marina gets back to the RV after losing the treasure to Mariah, and Joe explains the situation, Amber's briefly distracted by the realization that Joe uses the same nickname for Mariah that Amber does for Marina.
  • When Amber's at her lowest point, she finds Mariah drunkenly singing.
    Amber: You suck at treasure hunting and singing. Go figure
    Mariah: You've taken everything from me. What else could you possibly want?
    Amber: Your soul.
  • Amber and Mariah's argument about their tastes in music.
  • Amber asks if Mariah and Joe are an item, and Mariah says that they wouldn't be even if they had to repopulate the universe with humanity, a scenario Amber believes Mariah has imagined. Despite that, Mariah offers to marry Joe out of pity if he's single in ten years.
    "I bet she'd marry the treasure in a heartbeat, though. Probably do more than just marry it."
  • The second sex scene is hilariously awkward, from Marina freaking out when Amber talks dirty to her to the fact that she legitimately has no idea what to do, unlike the sexually experienced Amber.
  • Goofball Mode naturally has its share of moments.
    • The Running Gag in which Amber offers Marina sound financial advice on what to do with their newfound wealth.
    • When Amber tells Marina about how she's heading to Palm Springs.
    Amber: Isn't that where all the lesbian couples go?
    Marina: Too early in the story for that.
  • The vastly abridged story in EZ Mode of Goofball Mode tells all of the story in less than two minutes.
    Amber: Man, I wish I could find something out here in the desert that would make me forget about Gramps.
    (screeching sound)
    Marina: Hey, I'm your new girlfriend.
    Amber: That's great, but what am I going to do about all my bills? No amount of cute lesbians is going to solve my money problem.
    Marina: Convenient you mention that, because I happened to just find all this gold! Turns out some miner left it a long time ago and left clues in his journal!
    Amber: What kind of clues did he leave?
    Marina: One of them was 36.686558,-108.835978. It took me a while, but I eventually figured out what it meant.
    Amber: Well, if we're in a relationship and sharing all this gold, the least I can do is take you to the music festival my gramps wanted me to go to.
    (Smash Cut from Amber's RV to the festival)
    Marina: But we're already at the music festival.
    Gramps: Great tunes here, Amber! By the way, I approve of this relationship! Marina's a real cutie!
    Amber: Well, I'd say this was a pretty good trip.

Next Exit

  • The DLC begins with Marina accidentally pushing Amber into a cactus while trying to give her a hug, then somewhat ineptly following Amber's instructions on how to remove the needles.
  • The part in which Amber says to Marina, "Eat too many (cheetos) and cheese will come out of your ears" is mildly funny. The part in which Marina predicts what Amber is going to say, word-for-word, is hilarious.
  • In the first scene in the Trio's RV, it's mentioned in passing that Mariah left a can of beer out in the sun so long that it exploded, leaving a spot on the ceiling.
  • When Mariah gets into an argument with a vendor, who's apparently Buddhist, she angers the man enough that he threatens to call security. Mariah lets off a "Jesus!", and the man responds, "Wrong deity!"
  • The entire sequence where Marina and Mariah compete in a bidding war for the antique license plate to be Tess's birthday present, both of them unaware of each other as their competition gets fiercer and fiercer.
    • Marina tries to outbid Mariah's $10 with an $11, adding a smiley face in the "Notes" section. Mariah then responds by upping the bid to $11.01, and adding "FUCK YOU" in the comments section, which the vendor crosses out.
    • After noticing that the other bidder upped the bid by a cent, in addition to starting with a dollar, Marina realizes that the other bidder doesn't have much money. It's a somewhat obvious conclusion to draw, and you can see various algebra equations, geometric calculations, and "money," "$11.01" and other text scrolling by in the background.
