Rot and Ruin
- Benny and Chong's increasingly comedic and unsuccessful attempts to find jobs. Special mention to when they interview with the town's crank generator repairman and he turns out to be a religious fundamentalist who believes that the zombie apocalypse was caused by the evils of electricity. Benny goes to the bathroom and sneaks out over the fence, waving to Chong as he does. Chong catches up with him two whole hours later.Chong: You're such a good friend, Benny, I'll really miss you when you're dead.Benny: Dude, I gave you an out. When I didn't come back, didn't he go looking for me?Chong: No. He saw you go over the fence, but he kept smiling that smile of his and said, 'Your little friend is going to burn in hell, do you know that? But you wouldn't spit in God's eye like that, would you?'
- Tom and Benny's brotherly banter when they're out in the Rot and Ruin together.Benny: You're a dork, but I don't think you want to turn me into a zom.Tom: Wouldn't have to get on you about cleaning your room, so let's not rule it out.
- The scene of the kids of Mountainside running like hell to buy Zombie Cards, this world's equivalent of trading cards, before they sell out. Morgie trips and falls and Benny and Chong, being the loyal friends that they are, leave him behind. Cut to:Chong: Too bad about Morgie.Benny: Yeah. Nice kid. He'll be missed.Morgie: You guys are a couple of total jerks.
- Made even better when it turns out Benny and Chong bought the last twelve packs. they saved a few for Morgie.
- Everything about Tom and Benny's first training session, which opens with the line: 'Fifteen minutes later Tom tried to kill Benny with a sword.'
- Benny and Nix's heartwarming reconciliation after an awkward moment ends with this:Benny: You're one of my best friends. You and Chong - you're my family.Nix: Me and Chong? What about Morgie?Benny: He's the family dog.
Dust and Decay
- Benny opens the door, expecting his now-girlfriend Nix and greeting her with, "hey sweetie". Instead he finds a thoroughly amused Chong and Morgie, who proceed to never let him live it down.Chong: Um, hello to you, too, sugar lumps.
- Nix herself is thoroughly unamused with the Affectionate Nickname.
- Gets a call back a few scenes later when Tom calls Nix 'sweetie' and an annoyed Benny notes that 'he didn't get the ninja death stare for calling Nix sweetie.'
- Tom makes a nerdy reference that goes over the younger generation's heads.Tom: Okay, my young Jedi... time to train.Morgie: What's a Jedi?
- Benny gets knocked out by Nix while sparring and claims it was because she got him when he wasn't looking. She responds with appropriate sarcasm.Nix raised her sword and in a loud clear voice announced, "I. Am. Going. To. Swing. My. Sword. Now."
- This exchange, after a tense moment when the gang has been separated:Lilah: Tom is a good hunter. He will find us.Benny: And what if he doesn't?Lilah: He will.Benny: What if he can't?Lilah: He will.Tom: *making his Dramatic Entrance* He has.
- Dark is it is, the scene where the gang argues about whether to stitch up Nix's wound or go back to town is chock-full of this. Starting with Nix telling Tom You're Not My Father and his less-than-impressed response:Tom made a face. 'Oh please, Nix. You're not a petulent little kid, so don't try that act on me. Benny still does, and it never works.''It works sometimes,' Benny said. They ignored him.
- Followed by Lilah lifting up her shirt to show her own scars from wounds she stitched up herself. Since she has little sense of modesty, she ends up showing a bit too much skin, which leads to Benny dying of embarrassment, Nix giving him a Death Glare, and Tom gently pushing her shirt back down a few inches.
- All of Tom and Sally Two Knives' banter and her flirty teasing of him.Tom: Where are you hurt?Sally: Everywhere.Tom: Can you pin it down for me so I don’t have to go looking?Sally: Since when did you become a prude?
- When they say goodbye, Sally plants a Big Damn Kiss on Tom which leaves him momentarily dazed and speechless.
- Tom's reaction when The Cavalry arrives at Gameland to help him: his jaw literally drops. Made even funnier by Sally reaching over to close his mouth and Fluffy winning money from Basher because he'd bet that Tom would be lost for words.
- Tom recovers enough to drop this zinger when he shows the bounty hunters the room full of weapons he's found:
Tom: You may be the cavalry, but I'm Santa Clause. Come on - let's go downstairs and open some presents.
Flesh and Bone
- Lilah confesses her feelings for Tom in the most Lilah way possible: by showing up at his door in the middle of a snowstorm and telling him bluntly, "I love you". Tom's deadpan reaction makes it even better:Tom: Wow, Lilah. That's a hell of a way to open a conversation.
