-->"Someone Has Sent You An Arrow, Mr. Lipwig."\\

-> '''Vetinari:''' I think it is just a matter of getting into the mind of the writer. In some cases, I imagine, there is a lot of room.

* A rather... ''[[FoeYay interesting]]'' moment from Cosmo: Pucci tells him that his obsession with Vetinari is a dangerous one. "I'm simply trying to get inside the man." "A ''very'' dangerous obsession." "[[ThatCameOutWrong You know what I mean!]]"

* During the courtroom scene, Mr. Fusspot (Moist's lapdog and president of the bank) is seen being propelled backwards around the room by the buzzing of a large black vibrator with an impressively long spring, it being going for about 3 hours by now. Moist can't beleive what he's just seen.

* Vetinari and Drumknot discussing the newspaper comic that comes from the revelations of Moist’s trial, which sound in character with real world political cartoons.
-->''Drumknott:''' Well, there is a very good likeness of Mr. Fusspot.\\

'''Drumknott:''' No sir, this is the Times of Ankh-Morpork sir.\\

'''Drumknott:''' He is on a leash, sir, and looking uncommonly ferocious. You are holding the leash, sir. In front of him, and backing nervously into a corner, are a group of very fat cats. They are wearing top hats sir.\\
'''Vetinari:''' As Cats do, yes.\\

'''Drumknott:''' While you, sir, are waving a handful of paper money at them and the speech bubble says-\\
'''Vetinari:''' Don’t tell me. THIS does NOT taste of pineapple?\\

* How the courtroom scene ends for Pucci Lavish. She doesn't confess, as such, because confession would imply ''guilt''. It's more like she brags, managing to reveal years of financial misconduct to the entire courtroom. Then the watch arrest her, and she's still going - so much so they can't get a word in edgeways against her, and have to ''write down'' that they're arresting to her... and she still doesn't shut up, not even as they're dragging her out.

-> ''Vetinari:'' I think it is just a matter of getting into the mind of the writer. In some cases, I imagine, there is a lot of room.

--> ''Drumknott:'' Well, there is a very good likeness of Mr. Fusspot.
--> ''Vetinari:'' (alarmed) Surely he has nothing in his mouth?
--> ''Drumknott:'' No sir, this is the Times of Ankh-Morpork sir.
--> ''Vetinari:'' Continue.
--> ''Drumknott:'' He is on a leash, sir, and looking uncommonly ferocious. You are holding the leash, sir. In front of him, and backing nervously into a corner, are a group of very fat cats. They are wearing top hats sir.
--> ''Vetinari:'' As Cats do, yes.
--> ''Drumknott:'' And they have the words THE BANKS on them.
--> ''Vetinari:'' [[SarcasmMode Subtle indeed.]]
--> ''Drumknott:'' While you, sir, are waving a handful of paper money at them and the speech bubble says-
--> ''Vetinari:'' Don’t tell me. THIS does NOT taste of pineapple?
--> ''Drumknott:'' Well done sir. Incidentally, it does so happen that the chairmen of the rest of the city banks wish to see you, at your convenience.

* Moist's interaction with Adora when she comes back, combined with {{Adorkable}} at times. When she finally takes her mind off work for a minute he suggests they get lunch at the Royal Bank...

** This really deserves elaboration. [[spoiler:Mr. Bent]] the clown has barged into the trial, and has just thrown a pie at Vetinari. Moist immediately realizes three things:

*** [[spoiler:Vetinari's credibility is the only thing keeping Moist alive right now.]]

** Doubly funny at the end when you learn that [[spoiler: the bankers had already robbed the bank before Moist showed up]].

* The BucketBoobyTrap at the Fools' Guild. Or rather, the fact that Vetinari knows it's there and pushes it over, then says "It's not funny, and someone could get hurt." Then immediately afterwards there's a groan from the other side, meaning [[IronicEchoCut someone got hurt]]. But he was a Fool and it's probably part of their job.

** Doubly funny at the end when you learn that the bankers robbed the bank.

* Harry King invests everything in the bank once Moist's trial starts. Moist's only thought is "It was a terrible thing to have Harry King believe in you".

* Detritus understands Quirmish, or at least context:

* The Blind Letter Office. Any mail with an address that can't be deciphered by the regular postmen (like "Mrs. Smith what does, Dolly Sisters" or "My brofer John, tall, by the brij"; it's said that these addresses come about because the letter writer's opinion is "If I know what I mean, so should you") goes to the Blind Letter Office, where the staff try to figure out who the intended recipient is and get eight out of ten correct. Vetinari decides to wait for Moist in the Blind Letter Office and his opinion of the "misspelled, illegible, and simply insane mail" is that figuring it out is even better than the crossword, and explains how he identified "Duzbuns hopsit pharmerrc" as for a particular bakery opposite a pharmacy.
