  • Lyle (Seth Green)'s improvised "Gag Dub" of Handsome Rob's Instant Seduction of a cable girl as prep for the heist.
    Lyle: Are you kidding me? How does he do that? How do you do that? What are you saying?
    [Lyle narrates the conversation with a husky voice for Handsome Rob and a ditzy female voice for Becky]
    "Handsome Rob": Hey, how are you?
    "Becky": Oh, I'm good! I'm good!
    "Handsome Rob": Nice to meet you. I'm "Handsome Rob." And you are?
    "Becky": Oh, my—my name's Becky, but it's written on my shirt!
    "Handsome Rob": Listen, I'm gonna need your shirt, and your truck.
    "Becky": Perfect! I'll give them both to you. Would you like my virginity as well?
    "Handsome Rob": If it's on the menu.
    "Becky": [fake laughter] Oh, you're so witty! Why don't you take advantage of me?
    "Handsome Rob": Yeah, you're not too bright, are you?
    "Becky": No.
    "Handsome Rob": Perfect!
    • Gilligan Cut to Handsome Rob sneaking out of the girl's bed the next morning.
  • While scouting getaway routes through L.A., Rob gets stuck at a stoplight behind an aspiring actor (played by a pre-30 Rock Scott Adsit). The guy is so wrapped up in rehearsing his lines, for a ridiculously cliched Turn in Your Badge scene, that he doesn't notice the light turning green. He finally tears through the intersection just as it turns red again... leaving Rob still stuck there.
    Handsome Rob: Un. Believable.
  • “You’ll never shut down the Real Napster!” Doubles as an awesome moment, too.
  • Skinny Pete's commentary on why he told Mashkov they were asking about the bricks.
    Skinny Pete: Listen to me man. If there's three things I know it's never to mess around with Mother Nature, Mother-In-Laws, or Mother-freaking Ukrainians.
  • Mashkov seeing right through Steve's Blatant Lies at the end when he says he didn't kill Yehven.
    (Looks to Charlie) You were right. No imagination.
  • Skinny Pete is introduced at his driving range headquarters, where he's seen with an office putting game. However, he's haphazardly striking the ball to where it's flying off the surface while his lady encourages him as if he was a child ("Almost got it, babe!"). He's also doing it one-handed, and the green of the putting game has a significant dark weathered spot indicating he's been doing this for a LONG time.
  • As Left Ear is carefully setting the charges for the heist in the Metro tunnel, hanging suspended from the ceiling:
    Charlie: You OK?
    Left Ear: Give me a moment.
    Charlie: Now?
    Charlie: [nervous] Take your time all you need.
    [beat]
    Left Ear: Hey Charlie?
    Charlie: What?
    Left Ear: I love you, man.
    Charlie: [beat] I love you too.
