History Funny / RearWindow

* All of Jeff's nicknames for his neighbours, like calling the lonely lady Miss Lonelyhearts and the lady who dances [[MsFanservice in her bra and panties]] Miss Torso.
* "When two people love each other, they come together - WHAM - like two taxis on Broadway." Why thank you Stella, for that ''charming'' description of what exactly love is.

'''Lisa:''' Not if I have to move in to an apartment across the way and do the Dance of the Seven Veils every hour.
* The final shot of the film: a reprise of the first, panning across the various apartments and over onto Jeff's face, eyes closed and relaxed. The camera then pans down to [[ShaggyDogStory show]] that ''both'' his legs are broken this time, on the same day he was supposed to get the cast off.

** This becomes something of a BrickJoke in the ending, when one of the officers mentions that Thorwald "is ready to take us on a tour of the East River."

* After Thorwald has been captured, one of the officers mentions that Thorwald stashed part of his wife's corpse in a hatbox. Doyle asks Stella if she wants to go look, but Stella insists that she doesn't "want any part of it," then realizes that she accidentally made a pun.
** This troper's read of Stella's reaction is that she's realized the irony of her not "want[ing] any part" of a situation she's been involved with pretty much since the beginning.

--> '''Lisa''': The last thing Mrs. Thorwald would leave behind would be her wedding ring. Stella, do you ever leave yours at home?
--> '''Stella''': The only way somebody would get that would be to chop off my - finger. Let's go down to the garden and find out what's buried there.
--> '''Lisa''': Why not? I always wanted to meet Mrs. Thorwald.

--> '''Stella''': He'd better get that trunk out of there before it starts to leak...
--> (''Jeff spits out the drink he's just swallowed'')

* There’s also something to be said for the tense, dark comedy of Jeff’s frantic defense against Thorwald via BlindingCameraFlash.

-->'''Stella:''' Unless he puts in standing on end which would be very original and not require the use of either a knife or a saw. My guess is she's scattered all over town. A leg in the East River...
-->'''Lisa:''' Stella, please!

-->'''Jeff:''' Do you want to solve this case or make me look foolish?
-->'''Doyle:''' Well, if possible, both.
