Go To

1* After the first time Tom sleeps with Summer, Tom walks to work the next morning, sees ''Han Solo'' winking as his reflection, [[SomethingElseAlsoRises water fountains erupt in triumph]] and he bursts into a dance sequence with everyone else around him to the backdrop of "You Make My Dreams" by Hall & Oates. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tJoIaXZ0rw When you watch the scene]], it's hard to not smile because we are sure you've felt as great as he does at least once in your life. It was even a crowning moment for Joseph Gordon-Levitt too, because he's always wanted to be that guy who danced in front of a group of people just like Michael Jackson.
2* Rachel's following lines
3** Summing up the whole point of the film in a single line:
4-->'''Rachel:''' Just because some cute girl likes the same bizarro crap that you do doesn't mean she's your soulmate.
5** Her advice to Tom when he's pursuing Summer:
6-->'''Rachel:''' Just don't be a pussy!
7** Rachel in general is one big walking Moment of Awesome, really.
8* Tom's blind date managing to demolish the idea that Summer was at fault for breaking up with Tom in her [[OneSceneWonder one scene.]]
9-->'''Blind Date:''' Can I ask you a question? She never cheated on you? She never took advantage of you in any way? And she told you upfront that she didn’t want a boyfriend?
