* William and Max are so pleased that the receptionist at The Ritz told them where Anna had gone that they kiss him on the cheek before running out.

* Having been caught by the press at William's place, Anna's first concern is [[SkewedPriorities how William was dressed when he went outside]].
** William warns Spike, who is only wearing pants, not to go outside. Of course, he does. Rather than being shocked into retreating, Spike starts to pose and blow kisses to the photographers. They cheer him.



-->'''Spike:''' ''(thoughtful)'' Tricky. Tricky. I knew a girl at school called Pandora. ''(unable to help himself)'' Never got to see her box, though. ''(laughs)''.

** Marty says he once saw either Ringo Starr or Topol on Kensington High Street. He's quite pleased at his star-spotting until William points out that they don't look anything like each other, and so it might not have been either of them after all.

* William desperately trying to clean up [[MenCantKeepHouse the flat]] and telling Anna [[BlatantLies it's not as clean as it usually is]].
** Doubly funny as William has written "Spike - Clean Up!" on the blackboard in the kitchen.
** William [[OverlyLongGag offering Anna the contents of his fridge]] which she keeps [[LittleNo refusing.]]
-->'''William:''' Do you always say "no" to everything?
-->'''Anna:''' ''(beat)'' No.
** Spike clatters into the flat, smoking a cigarette and failing to notice Anna at all.
-->'''Spike:''' First I'm going into the kitchen to get some food, then I'm gonna tell you a story that will make your balls shrink to the size of raisins.
* Spike wearing William's diving gear as he doesn't have any clean clothes.
* William trying to get through to Anna at The Ritz, who had called ''days'' earlier but left her message with Spike.
** The scene ends with Spike putting on the diving mask and exhaling cigarette smoke into it, fogging up the lenses.
* "Horse and Hound".
* When William finally meets Anna again it's in the middle of a press junket. They can only converse properly when her manager is out of the room, and when he comes again he has to pretend to be interviewing her about a film he hasn't seen by asking if there are any horses or hounds in it.
* Honey's birthday party.
** They react to Anna's presence by either being awestruck, nervous, calm and oblivious.
** When Bernie the banker turns up, he's had a hard day at the office:
-->'''Bernie:''' Millions lost.
-->'''Max:''' [[TakeThat Well done]].
** Bernie's cluelessness at the presence of Anna. It leaves the others speechless. He then talks to her:
-->'''Bernie:''' So, Anna. What do you do?
-->'''Anna:''' I'm an actress.
-->'''Bernis:''' Oh splendid! I'm actually in the stock-market, so not really similar fields, though I have done some amateur stuff - P.G. Wodehouse, you know. Farce, all that. "Ooh, careful there, vicar!" Always imagined it's a pretty tough job, though, acting. I mean the wages are a scandal, aren't they?
-->'''Anna:''' ''(drily)'' They can be.
-->'''Bernie:''' I see friends from university, clever chaps - been in the business longer than you, they're scraping by on seven, eight thousand a year. It's no life. What sort of acting do you do?
-->'''Anna:''' Films, mainly.
-->'''Bernie:''' Oh, splendid. Well done, you. What's the pay like in movies? I mean, last film you did, what did you get paid?
-->'''Anna:''' Fifteen million dollars.
-->'''Bernie:''' ''(agog)'' Right.
** The contest over the last brownie.
* William trying to get in to the private garden.
* Late for a date with Anna, William is frantically looking for his glasses. In the end he has to wear his prescription diving goggles Spike was wearing. Anna can't help but smile and throw popcorn at William.
* Spike tries to cheer up William after her boyfriend appears. He gets a little sidetracked.
-->'''William:''' It's like I've taken love heroin and can never have it again. I've opened Pandora's Box and there's trouble inside.
-->'''Spike:''' ''(thoughtful)'' Tricky. Tricky. I knew a girl at school called Pandora. ''(unable to help himself)'' Never got to see her box, though. ''(laughs)''.

* The opening scene in the bookshop has a lot of humour.
** William recommending a book that has an anecdote involving a kebab to Anna. When she picks a different book, he talks it up and remarks that it doesn't have any immature kebab stories like other books.
*** He then throws in another book for free for "lighting fires, wrapping fish". [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Even Anna smirks]].
** Rufus the shoplifter, who may or may not have a book down his trousers.
*** When Anna gives him her autograph it says "Dear Rufus, you belong in jail". He doesn't seem to mind.
** Marty says he once saw either Ringo Starr or Topol on Kensington High Street. He's quite pleased at his star-spotting until William points out that they don't look anything like each other, and so it might not have been either of them after all.
