  • In "Behind the Badge", Trivette, who's being interviewed for a documentary show, complains that Walker busting people steals the spotlight from him. This exchange follows:
    Walker: What am I supposed to do? Stop arresting people?
    Trivette: No, just... keep it down.
  • At the end of an episode, the cast talk about a possible movie being made about them and discuss who would play who. Trivette thinks he should be played by Denzel Washington, C.D. thinks he should be played by Paul Newman, and Alex thinks she should be played by Helen Hunt. When C.D. asks who should play Walker, Trivette suggests... Chuck Norris. Walker balks at the idea, complaining the others have Academy Award-winning actors, while he gets Chuck Norris.
    Walker: I get Chuck Norris? Now, what's he ever won?
  • In Season 7's "Special Witness", Walker and Trivette have Carlos disguise himself in drag as an old woman to act as bait for a gang of criminals. It somehow worked.
  • At the end of the anthrax bomb episode, the cast talk about how the surrounding precincts were talking about the valiant acts of the Texas Rangers, mostly of Walker's exploits. When Trivette asks if the precincts had spoken about him specifically, Sidney could only reply that they once talked about how he went undercover as a male stripper, much to his annoyance.
  • In the Elvis episode, while the fight with Gage an Sydney against two hired killers was awesome, it was also rather hilarious as they were all dressed as Elvis Presley at the time.
    • At the end of the same episode, Gage comments how he could try to compete in the next Elvis impersonator contest and Trivette challenges him to sing, in which C.D. preps up the karaoke machine. It turns out that Gage, despite being a fighting Texas Ranger who continuously puts his life on the line to uphold justice, has stage fright.
  • In the crossover episode with Martial Law, Walker and Sammo Law interrogate a guy on the street. Walker threatens that if the mook doesn't tell them what they want to know, he'll have Sammo give him a "Chinese pretzel". The man spills his guts, not wanting to get beaten up. After telling them what they wanted, Sammo hands the guy a literal pretzel.
  • In "A Matter of Principle", Trivette gets a letter from the IRS, stating he owes $700. He decides to fight this and hire a tax attorney to make them drop the charge. Good news: Trivette wins the case and no longer owes the IRS $700. The bad news? He now owes the tax attorney $1200 for his services. Bluntly put, Trivette is worse off than before.
  • Trivette and Gage are taking the specially designed tuxedos for Walker's wedding when they get into a chase with some robbers. It culminates in their car blown up with the tuxes inside which freaks them out.
    Trivette: We have to run, we have to go to, I don't know...
    Gage: Australia?
    Trivette: No, no, Australia's not far enough!
    • The robbers rise up only to find themselves at gunpoint with the two moaning they're lucky as "you're only going to jail, we're in worse trouble!"
  • The team is splitting up some counterfeit money to use in a sting against robbers hitting shopping malls. Gage offers to handle all the money himself.
    Sydney: Why you?
    Gage: Come on, Syd, we all know you can't resist a sale!
  • In "Children of Halloween", Trivette discusses with Walker that making your own costume is better than going out to buy one. Walker then comments about the Halloween costume Trivette made for himself.
    Walker: Trivette, a bag of peanuts and a bottle of soybean oil is not a costume.
    Trivette: I was George Washington Carver!
  • In "Days Past":
    Walker: You hurt a friend of mine.
    Vince: Did I? Close friend? Oh, golly, that's awful. (to a henchman) Isn't that awful?
    Henchman: Oh, yeah, Vince. That's just awful.
    (Walker backhands the unprepared henchman in the face)
  • "Skyjacked":
    Stephanie: (to the pilots) We're revising the flight plan. We're headed to the Cayman Islands now.
    Walker: (revealing himself behind a seat, grabbing her wrist) You're going to jail first, honey. Then you can go to the Cayman Islands. Now, sit down. (to pilot) Tie her up and gag her.
  • "Child of Hope": Gage and Sydney enter the villain's hideout. A random mook jumps out from behind something and screams at them, but Sydney merely punches him once and he's out cold. It's so well-timed and such a random moment.
  • "Desperate Measures": The ending: Alex goes to throw up again due to morning sickness, and Gage says he's glad men don't have to deal with morning sickness, to which Sydney snarks, "Men are such wimps." and walks away. After a pause, Walker, Trivette and Gage realize they have no comeback and admit she's right.
  • "Unsafe Speed":
    • Walker talks to a biker at a bar and asks if they've seen two wanted people in the photo. He says no and takes the picture, crumples it up, and puts it in his mouth: "You got a problem with that?" Walker replies, "Actually, I do.", punches the guy in the gut, causing him to spit out the picture. He adds: "I gotta go all the way back and get another picture."
    • When Trivette searches for a rogue DMV worker illegally issuing trucker licenses, he eventually finds the people who did it. After he is asked to step in front of the camera to have his trucker license photo taken, he finally reveals his true identity to the rogue DMV employee, saying he needs a picture of him, too. By that, he means a mugshot! Cue an Oh, Crap! from the rogue employee!
      Trivette: Hey, Earl... (takes out his wallet and presents his badge) I think I'm gonna need a picture of you, too.
