1* Del Griffith's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DIqwX5bkOE declaration]] that he knows what kind of person he is, and he's not going to change. It's clearly John Candy himself talking as much as the character, and easily the most moving scene of his far too short career.
2* After Neal's [[ClusterFBomb long profanity-filled rant]], the clerk (Edie [=McClurg=]) calmly asks him if he has his rental receipt. His response? "I threw it away." Her response? [[PrecisionFStrike "You're fucked."]]
3* Del manages to make about a hundred dollars selling shower rings as earrings to random passers-by in St. Louis--and apparently wasn't selling them for more than about five dollars a piece. Evidently, he's one HELL of a salesman.
4* A RealLife example, both Martin and Candy regarded their performances in this film as the best of their respective careers.
