*** Turns into a CrowningMomentOfHearwarming if you pass a passive Empathy check - Kim thinks it perfectly expressed what it's like to be a cop in the RCM.

* During the debrief at the end of the game, you learn that your character was a gym teacher before he was a cop. Kim is in awe at this information, because suddenly a lot about your behavior makes a lot more sense - your constant jogging everywhere, your ability to work with young people, [[InnocentlyInsensitive your apparent lack of knowledge of what homosexuality even]] ''[[InnocentlyInsensitive is]]''... Hell, even your dance moves resemble particularly-aggressive aerobic exercises.

--->'''Egg Head''': MASS MURDER ON THE DANCE FLOOR!

** If you are moralist and discuss if Dolores Dei was a mass murderer or not with Noid inside the Church turned Nightclub, Egg Head will overhear the discussion and let out a darkly hilarious emcee shout:

''Egghead'': MASS MURDER ON THE DANCE FLOOR!

** Even more funny is that the same build can cause you to accidentally kill yourself if you do not heed Pain Treshold's warning when trying to turn on the lights in the room.
* As the man says:

* Measurehead, a terrifying and racist hulk of a man, referring to white people as the "ham sandwich race" serves as a hilarious reminder to how absurd his ideals are. He also considers eating Potato a cause of genetic degradation.

* If you ring the (broken) doorbell to Whirling-In-Rags, you get no response. Half Light chimes in, and indignantly asks you if you are really going to just stand there and take lip from a doorbell. The possible responses to this are priceless:

* In the Abandoned Commercial Area, you can find an old game studio that worked in a massive and ambitious Roleplaying game. When reviewing the mainframe to a log of the development of the game, you discover one of the last effort ideias was to add an island to the corner of the world where it would have 10,000 heads to combine with 10,000 headless horseman, you then can ask the Mainframe on how many combination would be, the game lists it all the numbers [[OverlyLongGag and it goes for a very, ''very'' long list]].

* When you meet Trant Hiedelstam and his son Mikael, Trant is guiding his son around on a historical tour at the abandoned Feld Electricial factory. When asked about what happened to the engineers that worked at the place, Trant will say that the Revolution came and it didn't end well for the engineers, [[NotInFrontOfTheKid but he will not say why because his young son is listening]]. You, however, don't have to have any qualms about ripping that band-aid quickly and brutally off if you don't feel like it:

--->'''The Wirrâl Box:''' In no time, you could romping through grasslands with low-level characters, haunted by iyskel riders... or battling unspeakable monsters in endless dungeons fraught with danger and despair, conjuring up powerful [[PhantasySpelling maegics]] to aid your quest.\\

** Upon completing the thought you do, in fact, get the option to tell Kim you've stopped obsessing over your sexuality. You also get [[ImmediateSelfContradiction the option]] to immediately ask him if ''he'' is part of homo-sexual underground, causing him to exasperatedly point out that now you're obsessing over other peoples' sexuality instead.

* One of the apartments you come across is locked with a rusty chain. If you try to break in, Kim will ask [[LampshadeHanging why you would want to break into some random citizen's apartment.]] You can answer that it just seemed as something you could do. Kim gives you a long-suffering look, glances at the lock and says that if one were *commited* to it, there's a pair of chaincutters in his vehicle's toolbox.
* At one point, Electrochemistry explains to you that you feel so bad because of lack of magnesium in your body. And too much coffee. [[BlatantLies And absolutely not because of all the drinking and meth and smoking for the last forty years.]]

* If you pass a passive Conceptualization check after storing the body in a refrigerator build into the abdomen of a gigantic taxidermy polar bear (the only nearby fridge large enough to fit the body inside), you can proclaim to Kim that you two have created "ice bear sarcophagus". Kim gravely tells you that [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain any talk of the "ice bear sarcophagus" must *not* leave that room.]]

* If you ask the Paledriver about the Pale while Kim's around, he will begrudgingly let you, but will also ask you not to contemplate, because you don't have time for this. Conceptualization instantly chimes in:

* Passing a Conceptualization check (and having interacted with the Racist lorry driver beforehand) when mocking Measurehead with Kim leads to this exchange:

* Having fairly high Physical Instrument while asking Joyce for money, causes Physical Instrument to interpret your embarassment about begging for money as you trying to overcome a physical challenge, and it instead pushes you to beg with gusto:

* If you attempt mark the seagull bites on the hanged man as a fatal injury, this conversation with Kim happens:

* With high enough Eletrochemistry, you can feel a brief moment of what can only be described as highly inappropriate sexual attraction to the Pigs while confronting her:

'''Eletrochemistry:''' Yeah, back her up, right against those boxes and do some sex-healing.\\

* If you talk to Evrart wearing Rene's uniform he will have to ask the obvious question.
-->'''Evrart:''' Mr. Dubois... Why on Earth are you dressed like my recently deceased security guard?

* If you allow the Horrific Necktie to speak to you through Inland Empire, you quickly realize it is basically all your self-destructive instincts given a voice, but goddammit, if they are hilarious in how over the the top they are:

'''Rhetoric:''' God -- what is happening in your HEAD?!\

'''Empathy:''' Of course. So much more love. But now -- react!

** And if you sing karaoke but fail the Drama check, you'll screech out an utterly hideous dirge rendition of ''The Smallest Church In Saint-Saëns'' for a full thirty seconds as the camera drifts over the motionless crowd. Afterward, a few hecklers from the Union booth will yell at you and Kim will very kindly tell you afterwards that the performance was [[DamnedByFaintPraise "genuinely tragic"]].

* On your way to the final confrontation, you can insist on blasting out music through your boombox from the prow of your motor-boat, and you get to see this play out in-game. When you confront the murderer, [[RealityEnsues he points out that he knew you were coming because he could ''hear'' the music]] -- and Kim will shamefacedly claim that he "told you not to do that". It isn't true.

## "We should ground the workers into fine paste and feed them to the pigs."
## "We should ground the *owners* into fine paste and feed them to the pigs."

## "I don't think grounding one or the other side into pigsfeed will do anyone favours. I am really, really smart."
## "I've spend the last 20 seconds deciding on which side to *ground into pigsfeed* -- why?"

'''Kim:''' Right. Well, I'm sure that after... ''([[{{Facepalm}} he pinches the bringe of his nose]])'' You mean we should do that *right now*, don't you? ''(his usually even tone wavers slightly)'' Can that be done *after* the murder investiagation?\\

* The Shivers skill is normally used for focusing on the existential dread of the setting, occasionally giving foreshadowing of the future. At one point, it lets you see what exists in all directions from you.

-->'''Evrart:''' A Mega-Rich Light Bending Guy? I specifically told my men to check all the containers for of those!

* If you manage to open the container containing Mega-Rich Light Bending Guy and then report back to Evrart about him, he'll have this to say about it:
-->'''Evrart:''' A Mega-Rich Light Bending Guy? I specifically told my men to check all containers for one of those!

-->'''Half-Life:''' What did he just call you?! A f*g? Oh no, not this again, you just got away from that fucking kid...
