1	* Aaron's classic attack of flop sweats when anchoring the news.
2	-->'''Producer:''' This is more than [[UsefulNotes/RichardNixon Nixon]] ever sweated.
3	** Aaron, opening his jacket to show ''gigantic'' underarm pits on his shirt: "Is this noticeable?"
4	** When Aaron tells Jane about how bad he was, getting calls from viewers.
5	--->'''Jane:''' People called in ''complaining'' about your ''sweating''?
6	--->'''Aaron:''' No, ''nice'' calls, worried that I was having a ''heart attack''.
7	** Tom, who taped the show, doesn't help.
8	--->'''Jane:''' It wasn't ''unprecedented'', was it?!
9	--->'''Tom:''' ''(chuckling)'' Not unless you count ''Film/SinginInTheRain''.
10	* Aaron's 'Devil' speech to Jane. You know the one.
11	-->'''Aaron Altman:''' I know you care about him. I've never seen you like this about anyone, so please don't take it wrong when I tell you that I believe that Tom, while a very nice guy, is the Devil.
12	-->'''Jane Craig:''' This isn't friendship.
13	-->'''Aaron Altman:''' What do you think the Devil is going to look like if he's around? Nobody is going to be taken in if he has a long, red, pointy tail. No. I'm semi-serious here. He will look attractive and he will be nice and helpful and he will get a job where he influences a great God-fearing nation and he will never do an evil thing... he will just bit by little bit lower standards where they are important. Just coax along flash over substance... Just a tiny bit. And he will talk about all of us really being salesmen. And he'll get all the great women.
14	* This exchange:
15	-->'''Aaron:''' Wouldn't this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive? If ''needy'' were a turn-on?
16	-->'''Jane:''' Call me if you get ''weird''.

20	'''Blair:''' ''(panicked)'' '''''OOPS?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN OOPS?!!'''''\
21	\
22	'''Blair:''' ''(smugly after getting the tape to air on time)'' Fellas...
23	* When Jane has to abandon Tom during the Libyan emergency news break, Tom is visibly nervous. He burbles at the end, "In other words, I think we're all okay."
24	-->'''Ernie:''' ''(amused and annoyed)'' Who the hell cares what ''you'' think?
25	* Aaron's bitter prediction of where he and Jane will end up in five years.
26	-->'''Aaron:''' Anyway, I’ll be walking along with my wife and my two lovely children and we’ll bump into you. And my youngest son will say something, and I will tell him it’s not nice to make fun of single, ''fat'' ladies.
27	* Martin seeing through Paul's false sympathy when the news station has a mass firing.
