  • Charlie's progress reports after he learns about punctuation. Failing to understand what they mean and how to use them, he throws commas and random punctuation marks around haphazardly throughout his text.
    "Punctuation, is? fun!"
  • The scene where he tries to figure out the Rorschach inkblot test near the beginning.
    "I do not think I passed the Raw Shock test."
  • Dr. Strauss gives Charlie a television which he has to keep on at night while he sleeps.
    "That crazy TV kept me up all night! How can I sleep with something yelling crazy things all night in my ears?"
  • Charlie attempting to try a simple conversation with Miss Kinnian goes like this:
    " I tried to avoid all discussions of intellectual concepts and to keep the conversation on a simple, everyday level, but she just stared at me blankly and asked me what I meant about the mathematical variance equivalent in Dorbermann's Fifth Concerto."
