1	* Walter reacts to the latest catastrophe by completely losing his mind and cackling like a madman for a good half a minute. Bonus points for Tom Hanks's belly laugh sounding a lot like a ''donkey''. Seriously...how Shelley Long kept a straight face through [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CJ9EDtZ2p8 this part]] (see it at the 2:20 mark), settling instead for a "DudeNotFunny" look, is beyond human comprehension.
2	** Said catastrophe itself is worth a mention - after lugging buckets of hot water up an extension ladder to the second floor (due to the staircase completely collapsing), the two go to pour the buckets into the tub...only to have the tub fall through the floor and shatter below. Cue Walter's laughing fit.
3	* How Walter gets his half of the loan to buy the house, by begging for it from the wealthiest client he has. Bennie, a top-selling musical performer... and 12 years old.
4	** And he forces it out of Bennie by threatening ''to not like him anymore''. For a 12-year-old, that's SeriousBusiness.
5	* One of the bands that Walter manages is a group of bearded crossdressers calling themselves 'Cheap Girls', except they don't like that name anymore:
6	-->'''Band leader''': I'm not sure it's us.\
7	'''Walter''': It is... It is.\
8	'''Band leader''': We want to call ourselves "Creator/MerylStreep".\
9	'''Walter''': ...no. No, you cannot call yourselves "Meryl Streep".\
10	'''Band leader''': Maybe she'll be flattered!\
11	'''Walter''': No, in fact considering your act, I think I can guarantee a giant ''lawsuit''.
12	* The scene where Anna confesses to Walter that she slept with Max (or so she thinks), though less for subject and more for timing and delivery. Walter's only half-awake as she talks, so he initially doesn't react. Anna kisses him good-night and turns the lights out. A few seconds go by, the light comes back on...
13	-->'''Walter''': '''YOU WHORE!!'''
