* Birdie isn't fooled by Eve's sob story, and notes the cliched nature of it all.
--> "What a story. Everything but the blood hounds snappin at her feet."
* Margo hangs a lampshade on theatre's obsession with "love starved southern women", remarking that she grew up in the south and was not starved for love at all.
* Margo being woken up at midnight because of a call Eve arranged for her to Bill on his birthday. Margo has forgotten that it's his birthday, and assumes that him asking for her to say "it" means "I love you". Bill says she can sing it if she prefers, and Margo does a magnificent DoubleTake.
* Margo's magnificent SnarkToSnarkCombat to Addison when he arrives at Bill's party with Miss Caswell.
--> '''Margo:''' I distinctly remember crossing you off my guest list. What are you doing here?
--> '''Addison:''' Dear Margo. You were an unforgettable Literature/PeterPan. You must play it again soon. You remember Miss Caswell?
--> '''Margo:''' [[BluntNo I do not]]. How do you do?
--> '''Miss Caswell:''' We've never met, maybe that's why.
** Eve tries to play up the humble routine when Margo has her talk to Addison, claiming he would find her boring. Miss Caswell says she won't bore him, because she likely won't even get a chance to talk.
** Miss Caswell sees Max and asks why all producers look like "unhappy rabbits".
** Miss Caswell is also trying to get a drink by calling out "waiter" to every passing butler. She says that she won't call out "butler" in case another guest has Butler as a last name. Addison admits "you have a point. An idiotic one but a point."
*** And when Max offers to get a drink for her, Addison quips that he can "see your career rise in the east like the sun". Some fun head-canon is the idea that the two planned this to help Miss Caswell network.
* As she gets drunker and drunker at the party, Margo keeps making the pianist play a sombre rendition of "Leibelstrom". Cut to a while later when Bill asks if they're suddenly at a wake.
* SweetAndSourGrapes kicking in for Karen. Eve blackmails her to get Lloyd to give her the part of Cora, or else she'll go to the papers and reveal that Karen sabotaged Margo's car to allow her to go on for her one night (thereby ruining Karen and Margo's friendship). As soon as she gets back to the table, Margo announces that she's taking a break from her career and turns down the part of Cora. Karen bursts into a laughing fit extremely out of character for someone so soft-spoken. Margo, who spent a good portion of the second act being a LadyDrunk herself, [[HypocriticalHumor takes Karen's glass away]].
* Karen sassing Eve 1950s style when Lloyd tries to defend her.
--> '''Lloyd:''' She apologised.
--> '''Karen:''' On her knees, I've no doubt.
** Lloyd also complains that Karen has had "bitter cynicism" ever since she left Ratcliffe finishing school.
--> '''Karen:''' The cynicism you refer to, I acquired the day I discovered I was different from little boys!
* Right before the party, Birdie relays a message from the bartender, asking if Margo knows she ordered domestic gin by mistake.
--> "The only thing I ordered by mistake is the guests."
* Bill gets a sly dig about Margo's age.
--> '''Bill:''' I can't believe you're making this up. It sounds like something out of an old Clyde Fitch play!
--> '''Margo:''' Clyde Fitch, though you may not think so, was well before my time.
--> '''Bill:''' I've always denied the legend that you were in "Our American Cousin" the night Lincoln was shot.
--> '''Margo:''' (''like a disgruntled five year old'') I don't think that's funny.
--> "What a story. Everything but the blood hounds snappin at her feet."
