  • When Sid can't stop laughing at Elizabeth's mother's dementia, her husband has this response:
    Scott: I'm going to hit you. [PUNCH]
  • When Sid greets Matt with a one-armed hug and a "What's up, bro?":
    Matt: Don't ever do that to me again.
  • When Matt is demanding Alex stop berating her comatose mother, and Alex challenges him to do something, he spontaneously turns her around and spanks her, causing a disbelieving silence in the room.
    Scottie: YOU GOT SERVED!
    Alex: Did you just SPANK me?!
  • Matt and Alex pay Brian and his family a visit to discuss his affair with Elizabeth, and Alex is not impressed by Matt's chosen salutation:
    Matt: I just figured out, I do know your husband. My daughter and I were on our way back from dinner, and we just thought we'd stop by and say "Howdy."
    [Alex looks at Matt in disbelief and mouths "'Howdy'!?"]
  • More of a cringe-worthy CMOF, when Matt confronts Brian:
    Matt King: One more question for you.
    Brian Speer: Yes?
    Matt King: Ever been inside my bedroom?
    Brian Speer: Once.
    Matt King: You could have had the decency to lie about that one.
    Brian Speer: Alright, twice.
