3* This exchange between Moss and Blake:
4-->'''Blake:''' I've been in this business for fifteen years--\
5'''Moss:''' What's your name?\
6'''Blake:''' FUCK! YOU! ''THAT'S'' my name!
7* "You know what it takes to sell real estate? It takes BrassBalls to sell real estate."
8* Roma: "Did you ever take a dump that made you feel like you slept for twelve hours?"
9* Richard Roma is rough, abrasive, and downright vicious to anybody who looks like they should have a clue about what they're doing, but with Aaronow (who shouldn't be within a hundred miles of that job) trying to grasp the situation after the robbery, Roma appears to be courteous, polite, and considerate to him throughout. He also maintains a courteous and respectful working relationship with Levene. Made even funnier as Aaronow actually made a sale that month while Levene hadn't.
10* Roma ranting at Williamson:
11-->'''Roma:''' Patel?! Fuck you! Fucking Shiva handed this guy a million dollars, told him "Sign the deal!", he wouldn't sign, and the god Vishnu, too, into the bargain--fuck you, John! You know your business, I know mine, your business is being an asshole! I find out whose fucking cousin you are, I'm gonna go to him and find a way to HAVE YOUR ASS! FUCK YOU!
12* A conversation between Roma and Levene is interrupted by an angry Moss. A long, heated exchange happens, ending with Moss leaving in a huff ("FUCK YOU ALL! FUCK THE LOT OF YOU!"). [[{{Beat}} Roma simply sits back and looks at Levene.]]
13-->'''Roma:''' ''You were saying?''
14* Roma's reaction after Williamson accidentally screws up his $6000 sale.
15-->'''Roma:''' ''[slowly turns and [[DeathGlare fixes a hard glare on Williamson]]]'' [[TranquilFury You stupid fucking cunt.]] Where did you learn your ''[[LargeHam traaaaaaaaaaaaade]]'', you stupid fucking cunt?!?
16** During his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Williamson, Roma interrupts himself to politely tell the detective he'll be with him in a minute.
17** The brief shot of Roma, Williamson, and one of the detectives with their hands on their hips.
18* During another TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Williamson, Levene calls him a secretary and gives him a message, "Fuck you and kiss my ass!" What makes it funny is Levene's pantomime of lifting up his pants during the latter insult.
19* "HAVE YOU MADE YOUR DECISION FOR CHRIST?!!"
