"How stupid do you think I am? I've got a license to carry, motherfucker. Ever since your little visit the other day, this little baby is gonna stay right here."
As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.- The fact that Misty Mountains evidently got her stage name from The Hobbit is an amusing detail that the film just lets go without addressing.
- Holly walks in on her dad and Healy talking at the bowling alley:Holly: Ba-dum-chh.
March: What are you doing?
Holly: I was giving you a rimjob.
March: What!? RIMSHOT!...rimshot. - The horrified "OHHHH!" Mrs. Glenn lets out in response to March's "Holy fucking shit!"
- The Kid on the Bike (only credited as such) who March stops to question about Dean's house burning down and who won't stop talking about how big his dick is.
- Healy tells March he will break a bone in his arm. Once it occurs, March Screams Like a Little Girl.
- Healy and March trying to extract information from a group of "die-in" protesters who insist on not breaking character. March gets fed up and goes down the stairs. While doing so, he accidentally steps on the fingers of one of the protesters. This exchange then occurs:Protester: Fucker!
March: I'm sorry. I thought you were dead. - The bathroom stall scene (pictured above), where March tries to solve being literally caught with his pants down.
- When March finds out that Holly stowed away in his trunk to come help with the investigation, she gives the classic "Now that I'm here, you might as well bring me along" defense. March just slams the trunk down again so she'll stay in there.
- The valet refuses to take the car like that. As a Brick Joke, he later tells March "the girl who was in your trunk was in that car!".
- Healy and March discuss Mrs. Glenn:Healy:When she said she saw Misty alive that night, did you believe her?
March: God, no. She's blind as a bat. She has actual coke bottles for glasses. You paint a moustache on a Volkswagen, she says, "Boy, that Omar Sharif sure runs fast." - Holly repeating her dad's dislike for people saying "and stuff" to a porn star by saying that she shouldn't say "doing anal and stuff", just "doing anal". She sneaks into a sex party against his wishes, twice, and is watching porno even though she knows he wouldn't approve, but she paid attention to his grammar lessons.
- During the party at Sid Shattuck's mansion, Healy is shown questioning a bartender about Amelia. When the bartender tells him that she doesn't know anything, Healy leaves. Behind the bartender is a window to the pool where it shows two women dressed up as mermaids swimming. It then reveals that March decided to go swimming as well in order to "question" them as well after seeing them earlier.
- March channeling Lou Costello when he finds himself sitting under a tree with a rather messily dead Sid Shattuck, played by a barely recognizable Robert Downey Jr..
- Healy and March dispose of Sid Shattuck's corpse by throwing it over a fence, and it lands on the table of a wedding reception. The people scream, and the guys book it.Healy: (calmly) Run.
- Right before it, Healy tells "first we vomit, then we decide what to do with this body".
- A porn star can be heard at Sid Shattuck's party going "I told him, 'If you want me to do that, don't eat the asparagus.'"
- March insistently correcting Healy when he calls Misty Mountains a porn star.March: Young lady. Porno young lady.
- When the duo attempt to ascertain if Amelia is alright in the penthouse, they catch the tail end of John Boy's hitman antics and... nope straight back into the elevator
. And a guy is thrown out the window just behind them as they do so.- If you turn the volume up, you can hear March frantically mash the button with a perfectly calm look on his face.
- When Healy and March bring Amelia back to March's house:Holly: Holy shit, you got her!March: What are you doing here? You're supposed to be at Jessica's.Jessica: Yeah, I know, sorry, my sister kicked us out. She's having a guy over.March: Your sister's such a slut!Jessica: Yeah, I know.
- When March runs into the house during the shootout with John Boy:Amelia: [running out of Holly's room] Fucking fascist!!March: [ultra high-pitched] JESUS!
- Pretty much all of Ryan Gosling's high-pitched shouting.
- Pretty much all of Ryan Gosling's high-pitched shouting
- March trying to go for Healy's ankle gun to defend himself against Tally, only to be told that he dreamt that conversation (about the gun) when he earlier fell asleep at the wheel.
- Said dream is also hilarious, from March discovering the car has cruise control, to the sudden appearance of a giant bee in the back seat (with the voice of Hannibal Buress), and of course how it ends with him crashing into some barrels. While March Screams Like a Little Girl, again.
- Then, Holly tries to pretend to be room service and sneak in with a dinner trolley, and flings a pot of coffee over Tally... only for it to turn out to be cold. Fed up, Tally orders everyone into a corner so they can all be shot... only to slip on the coffee and accidentally get knocked out.
- How badly does the room service gambit fail? When she knocks and announces herself as roomservice, Tally simply says "Come on in, Holly" and compliments her for trying.
- Amelia insisting the movie she did had nudity, but it's not a porn.
- March almost dying in the pool, and seeing Richard Nixon.
- "I must be immortal!"
- Healey's flashback to finding out who his girlfriend was having an affair with:Healy's ex-wife: [in the middle of a romantic dinner with Healy at a restaurant] Jack, I'm fucking your dad.Healy: [spits water] What?!
- If you look closely, Healy is so startled he pours his whole drink in her lap.
- "I'm sorry, you look Filipino." "I do. Or I look Mexican."
- Kutner, while explaining why she colluded with the auto industry, defeatedly declares that nobody can take down Detroit. March responds with a "We shall see." The audience knows he's right, but it's still played the same way every dumb unconvincing thing he's said throughout the entire film is.
- The promotional campaign included a Tour Map of Los Angeles comparing the city in 1977 with it 40 years later, featuring delicious snark in both the descriptive text ("What’s that? You don’t have money? Thanks for visiting Santa Monica! The 10 is right over there.") and comments by March ("Hey, it takes a real man to walk in [Tower Records] and buy Barbra Streisand's "A Star is Born".") and Healy ("[The City Hall]'s a beautiful building with an unfortunate infestation. Politicians.").
