!!The 2020 Series:

* Alex sneaks back into school to reclaim Tom's confiscated phone. A fairly slick sequence follows, involving LeParkour and [[ImprovisedLockpick lockpicking]]... only to end suddenly as Alex runs straight into two teachers on the stairs.
* Tom's assessment of a drunk girl throwing up on his shoes at the party.
-->'''Tom:''' I think I just pulled!\\
'''Alex:''' ...Yeah?\\
'''Tom:''' Yeah!

* An unlikely one when Alex is being interrogated by the SAS team and responds with a mix of WoundedGazelleGambit, PuppyDogEyes and a healthy dose of sass.
-->'''Wolf:''' Almost had him.\\
'''Eagle:''' Right before he called you an arsehole.

* When Tom finds out about Alex being recruited, he finds Alex's cover identity and confronts him under cover of delivering a pizza. With anchovies.
-->'''Alex:''' I hate anchovies.\\
'''Tom:''' They're all you deserve!\\
[''Later'']\\
'''Alex:''' I'm sorry. I completely deserved the anchovies.\\
'''Tom:''' You know I hate anchovies too, right? I have to suffer, because you're a dick.

* James is at Point Blanc for shooting his tutor in the butt with an air rifle. He claims it was a political statement.
* While being shown around the school, Alex asks why they can't go to the second floor. James speculates that it's where "Stellenbosch keeps the husks of her used-up lovers."

* Alex and Kyra resolve to sneak out at night and check out the forbidden second floor, using washers in the locking mechanism to beat the lockdown. When Alex opens his door, the washer falls out and rolls away to be caught by Kyra.
-->'''Kyra:''' You're like a ninja. A really, really bad one.

* A dark one when Tom is lured to Roscorp Media and taken prisoner. As he continues to lie about his connection with the nonexistent Alex Friend, Parker Roscoe's assistant decides there's an easier way to get information. Over Tom's screams of "You don't have to do this!" he grabs the terrified boy's thumb and... [[BaitAndSwitch unlocks his phone]].
* Another dark one occurs in terms of how Tom's phone gives away Alex's identity and deployment as a spy: Tom's video from back in episode one reappears, but Tom edited and produced an entire cheesy clip joking about Alex being a spy!
* Alex dosed up on truth serum definitely counts, as he fades in and out of his secret identity, confuses the situation with the time Wolf had him captured, and generally just talks nonsense (at least, when out of context)
-->'''Alex: I can get paperclips ''any time I like!'''''

* A GuileHero moment for Smithers when he tricks a bemused [[spoiler:Duplicate]] Parker into saying "motorbikes" so he can fake a message for him. The look of bafflement on the SmugSnake's face as he's asked about nonexistent motorbikes is priceless.
-->'''Smithers:''' Great thing about "motorbikes," it gives you the X syllable without getting them to say "X-ray".

Alex spent the rest of the journey in grumpy silence. He had decided that Jack was as bad in her own way as the hideous Nadia Vole (last seen suffocating and being stung to death beneath a giant jelly fish) while in his view Mr [=McNeil=] had all the charm and attractiveness of the hired killer, Yassen Gregorovich. Meanwhile, Jack was refusing to sympathise.\\

“Forget it, Alex,” Jack protested. “You can’t eat chocolate cake five minutes before you go into the dentist.”\\
Alex’s heart sank. […] “I’m only taking it for later,” he said.\\
“You may not be able to eat it. After you’ve been drilled!”\\

-->‘Why are you in such a bad mood?” Jack asked as the carriage doors slid shut behind them.\\
“I’m not,” Alex replied.\\

“Now you sound like my nanny!”\\
“I am your nanny. Sort of…”\\
“Well, you certainly didn’t need to come with me. I could find my way there on my own.”\\
“Of course I had to come with you, Alex. And if you don’t stop complaining, I’m going to insist on holding your hand when we get to the surgery.”\\

* In book 4, when Alex is imprisoned with Sabina.
-->"I'm glad you're here," Alex said.\\
Sabina looked at him. "I'm not."
