  • Jimmy: "I don't believe this! We're being beat up by the inventor of Scrabble!"

    Joe: Buy yourself a new pair of pants.
  • During a car chase, Jimmy is drawing a picture of a bomb but as he tries to show it to the bodyguards, the drawing resembles "an apple with lines coming out of it" and Joe thinks the bodyguards will say, 'Don't open the briefcase, it's full of fresh fruit!', with the text "bomb" being spelled as "BOM", causing them to be fired upon the when the bodyguards see it. What makes that part even funnier is this line:
    Joe: I forgot to tell you, "BOM" means "Fuck you" in Polish.

    Joe: I think I fucked a squirrel to death last night.

  • During the climax, on the way to foil the bad guy's evil scheme, Jimmy and Joe come across a couple of cops, at which point Jimmy realises he's forgotten to tell Joe something rather important:
    Jimmy: Oh, by the way, forgot to tell you; you're wanted for murder.
    Joe: What?!
  • Shortly after Joe's final fight with The Dragon in which the latter ends up in a Helicopter Blender after getting shot several times, Joe suddenly starts dancing a jig, as he had promised himself earlier. Complete with actual Irish music.
  • Joe and Darian, trying to get some guy's car from him after crashing into his pool:
    Joe: Give me the keys.
    Pool Owner: No way.
    Joe: [Holds his gun to Darian's head; wearily] Give me the keys or I shoot the kid.
    Darian: [Nervous] Dad...?
    Joe: It's okay, sweetie.
  • Joe and Jimmy practicing one-liners at the end.
  • Milo losing it during the car chase with Joe and Jimmy.
    Milo: Push this vile fuck off the road, man!

    Joe: Hey Flash. Rescue attempt?
    Jimmy: Blow me.
    Milo: You must be James.
    Jimmy: (incredulously) James?
    Joe: Does that with everybody. Calls me Joseph.
    Milo: I trust you're alone?
    Jimmy: No, I brought the Vienna Boys Choir with me. What, is everybody stupid around here?
    [A henchman grabs him and slams his head onto a car bonnet]
    Joe: Just you, kid.
  • Marcone meets with a captive Joe.
