"This isn't flying—this is falling, with style!"

• Buzz "proving" he can fly during his introductory scene. Yeah, we all know it was due to (unknowingly) hanging off a ceiling mobile, but it's still pretty damn cool.
  Buzz: CAN!
• Woody's plan to save Buzz and help Sid's toys:
  • The toys, led by Woody, using perfectly executed teamwork and a plan created in mere minutes to get Scud locked out of the house.
    Woody: Wind the frog!
  • In a very creepy way, the toys' carefully orchestrated tactics to scare the pants off their "master". The Hand-in-the-Box pulls off an ankle grab; "Babyface" puts its Unnecessarily Creepy Robot status to effective use by tapping Sid on the head as it perches there; and even with the more normal toys, the manner many of them emerge from the mud or sand resembles zombies rising to take revenge on their tormentor. Even Woody had to give them props for coming up with that touch.
    • In particular, there's just something undeniably awesome about the bigger toy truck erupting out of the sandbox accompanied by a roar straight from the depths of Hell.
  • Woody begins his part in the scare on Sid by controlling his speaker and releasing a bunch of lines without the pull string to get Sid to come closer:
    Woody: (through his speaker) Reach for the skyyyy...
    Sid: Huh? (flicks away match and approaches)
    Woody: This town ain’t big ‘nuff fer the two of us.
    Sid: What?
    Woody: (as Sid picks him up) Somebody’s poisoned the waterhole!
    Sid: (annoyed) It’s busted.
    (Sid starts to throw Woody away)
    Woody: Who you callin' busted, buster?!
    (Sid freezes in surprise and looks at Woody again)
    Woody: (as Sid fearfully checks the unmoving pull string) That’s right, I’m talking to you... Sid Phillips.
    (Sid flinches and turns Woody to face him again)
    Woody: We don’t like being blown up, Sid. Or smashed. Or ripped apart.
    Sid: (hyperventilating) “We”?
    Woody: That’s right. Your toys.
  • The moment Woody well and truly breaks the masquerade:
    Woody: (through his speaker) From now on, you must take good care of your toys. Because if you don't, we'll find out, Sid. We toys can see eeeveryyythiiiiing...
    (He then proceeds to come to life in Sid's hands)
    Woody: ...So play nice.
    Sid: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
  • When Hannah finds out Sid now fears toys she takes her revenge.
    Hannah: What's wrong, Sid, don't you wanna play with Sally?
• The chase after Andy and the moving van:
  • Buzz saving Woody from Scud. Especially counts after Woody hopelessly telling him to take care of Andy while being dragged away from the moving truck.
    Woody: [after Scud grabs his leg] I can't do it. [begins to slip; fabric tears] Take care of Andy for me!
    Buzz: [jumps on Scud] NO!!! [grabs Scud's eyelids to make him let go of Woody]
  • By sheer luck, Buzz and RC manage to blast across the road through a stream of passing cars, while Scud gets trapped in a circle of vehicles due to causing an accident.
  • After Woody is tossed off the moving truck, Buzz and RC slam into him, picking him up in the process. After managing to avoid the tire of the car in front of them, and getting underneath the car itself:
    Woody: (wielding the controller) Now let's catch up with that truck! (hits the Turbo)
  • Give RC credit; once the Turbo kicked in, he managed to catch up to the truck, right up until his batteries ran out.
  • Shortly afterwards, Slinky attempting to pull Woody and Buzz up, at great risk to himself.
  • Woody and Buzz are launched up into the sky.
    Woody: This is the part where we blow up!
    Buzz: Not today! [pops open his wings, breaking the tape]
  • "This isn't flying—this is falling, with style!" Call it what you want, it's awesome. Undeniably one of the most iconic moments in Pixar, Disney, and animation, nay, film history altogether. Especially when Woody spreads his arms and shouts Buzz's catchphrase.
  • "We're not aiming for the truck."
