    Henry: Okay.
    Lucy: Okay.
    [Henry pretends to get electrocuted while jump-starting his car, Lucy screams]
    Henry': Ha! I can't believe you fell for that!
    Lucy: (sadly) Well... my grandfather died while trying to jump-start a car...
    Henry: Oh... I'm so sorry. I was just joking around.
    Lucy: I can't believe you fell for THAT! (laughs)
    Henry: Oh, my God! That was very good!
  • Henry: (to Marlin) Happy birthday, sir. What are you, like, 200 today?
  • When Henry takes Lucy to the brain trauma institute for the first time (from her point of view):
    Security Guard 1: Hey Lucy, good to see you again!
    [Lucy walks by quietly and warily]

    Security Guard 2: She doesn't remember who you are, brah.
    Security Guard 1: Oh yeah... I suck at this job!

  • Henry and Lucy are explaining Lucy's condition to a couple at a party... and the woman is pregnant.
    Woman: So every day you help her to realize what happened... and you wait patiently for her to be okay with it... then get her to fall in love with you again?
    Henry: Yes, ma'am.
    Beat
    Woman: [hits her boyfriend] You asshole! You don't even open the fricking car door for me anymore!
    • Even funnier when the character is played by comedian Maya Rudolph.
  • When Henry opens up the parting gift that Lucy's dad gave to him.

    • Smash Cut to Henry steering the boat, sobbing hysterically as he sings poorly along to Wouldn't It Be Nice.

    • Smash Cut again to Henry charging back to shore, realizing that Lucy remembers him without being prompted!
  • When Henry discovers Lucy's paintings of him, one of them is simply a guy with an egg for a head.
    • The commentary has the director noting they were all very worried the audience would think a bunch of paintings of Adam Sandler were supposed to be the joke on their own, and would miss the real joke.
