1[[AC:1964 Film Version]]
2* When the astronauts find the British flag, and hold it up for their British compatriot to see.
3--> '''British Astronaut''': (''genuinely surprised'') I didn't do it!
4* Cavor loves his geese, [[{{Irony}} but for some reason can't stand chickens]].
5--> '''Cavor''': (''every time he's in the presence of a chicken'') I detest chickens!
6* [[RunningGag "GIBBS!!"]]
7* While Professor Cavor is trying to get Mr. Bedford down from the celling with a ladder.
8--> '''Bedford''': (''sees Cavor and Gibbs trying to get the ladder through the door'') Never mind the ladder!
9--> '''Cavor''': (''pauses for a moment, then turns back to Gibbs without skipping a beat'') Gibbs, you're an idiot.
10* Cavor's opinion of Kate thinking a gun is a good thing to have along on a trip to the Moon.
11--> '''[[DeadpanSnarker Cavor]]''': Madam, the chances of bagging an elephant on the Moon are remote.
12* While Cavor's attempt to explain the human concept of war to the Selenites Grand Lunar is played very seriously. His opening statement comes across as surprisingly funny.
