1* On a black, sequin dress:
2-->'''Cyn:''' ''Six THOUSAND dollars?!'' It's not even leather!
3* When Trask finally ousts Katharine, using a CallBack from an earlier insult by Tess:
4-->'''Trask''': Now get your...''(turns to Tess)'' what was it you called it?
5-->'''Tess and Jack''': Bony ass.
6-->'''Trask''': Oh yes... bony ass out of my sight!
7* Tess' "interview" with a drunken, coke-snorting, sleaze who makes advances to her and watches porn. She gets her revenge by spraying him with champagne, then storms into work the next day and denounces her boss--who sent her on the interview with the promise that it was a legitimate job opportunity—as "a sleazoid pimp with a tiny little dick."
8** More accurately, she types it on the stockbroker screen for everyone in the office to see, leaving him humiliated.
9* Harrison Ford is ''very'' funny in this movie.
10-->'''Tess''': "Maybe I just don't like you."
11-->'''Jack''' (disbelieving): "Naw!"
12** Ford's also very funny in the scene where, the morning after Tess' drunken night and what she thought was her failed meeting with Jack, only for him to show up at her "office":
13-->'''Tess:''' Look, what happened last night was strictly...[[WhatDidIDoLastNight what exactly]] ''[[WhatDidIDoLastNight did]]'' [[WhatDidIDoLastNight happen]]?\
14'''Jack:''' [[DeadpanSnarker The earth moved. The angels wept.]] The Polaroids are (''he pretends to check his pockets'') in my other coat. (''Tess looks like she's going to die'') Nothing happened. Nothing happened.\
15'''Tess:''' When I woke up, I was in my underwear.\
