---> '''Cage''': Did you just steal my b-battery?
---> ''[Rita makes off, and a few seconds later, an underground Mimic breaks cover and bum-rushes him]''
---> '''Cage''': No no no no no, '''HOLY FU'''- ''[dies; loop restarts; wakes up with a yelp]''

-->'''Rita''': How many times have we been here? How many times? Where are the keys? ''Where are the goddamn keys?''
-->'''Cage''': ''[resigned; takes keys out of his pocket]'' OK.
-->'''Rita''': ''[snatches keys off him]'' You can ''fly'' it, can't you?
-->'''Cage''': No. Well... yes. I mean, I can take off, I’m still working on my landing.[[note]]This becomes meta funny when you remember TomCruise is a pilot in RealLife.[[/note]]

*** The next loop we see shows Cage barely managing to compete his roll under the Jeep; a momentary triumphant look of 'Holy shit, I'm not dead' crosses his face.

** Cage's first attempt to save Kimmel from the crashing plane. He succeeds ... but dies himself, and has to try again the next time.

-->'''Cage''': No. Well... yes. I mean, I can take off, I’m still working on my landing.[[note: This becomes meta funny when you remember TomCruise is a pilot in RealLife.]]

-->'''Cage''': No. Well... yes. I mean, I can take off, I’m still working on my landing.

-->'''Cage''': [resigned; takes keys out of his pocket] OK.
-->'''Rita''': You can ''fly'' it, can't you?

** The first time Cage gets hurt when training with Rita (broken back and paralysis). So Rita {{Mercy Kill}}s him. The first thing he sees when he wakes up is the graffiti on her propaganda poster - it only shows a closeup of the word '''BITCH.'''
*** This tends to happen when she kills Cage.

* Cage's reaction to the lengthy InfoDump about the Omega. You can virtually see the instant Cage switches from 'these guys could save me' to 'slimy PR guru wanting to save his hide at all costs'.

* Cage suggests he could have sex with Rita to give her the GroundhogDayLoop power, complete with thrusting since he's unwilling to just come out and say it. When she rejects it as having already failed to work for her, he asks how many times she tried, so she has the training machines send him flying. The Jacket's normally fairly mundane whines and clanking were turned up to comical levels during this scene.

* After one of Cage's time loops, he covers for J Squad's gambling before Farrel can catch them with a knowing wink.

* A bit stretched one, but still counts. When Rita is about to get into the minivan, Cage is ''very'' specific for her to disconnect the trailer from the van. She of course forgets about it [[spoiler:because he fails to mention that there's a Mimic hiding in it, most likely because she dies attempting to kill it if she's aware of it rather than simply leaving it alone]]. Then it's revealed it happens in ''every single loop'' in which they managed to reach the house with helicopter and she ''always'' forgets about the trailer, much to Cage's chagrin.

-->'''Cage''': [takes keys out of his pocket] OK.

*** The next loop we see shows Cage barely manage to compete his roll under the Jeep; a momentary look of 'Holy shit, I'm not dead' crosses his face.

** The first loop death. "No no no no no, HOLY FU..." (Dies)
** The entirety of Cage's third loop where he tries to warn Farrel about the failed invasion only to get gagged for his trouble.

--->'''Farrel:''' What the hell were you thinking?

** Cage actually ''saves'' Rita from a Mimic, snapping his own back like a twig in the process. So Rita steals his battery, leaves him to die, and the first thing he sees when he wakes up is the graffiti on her propaganda poster - it only shows a closeup of the word '''BITCH.'''

** The first time Cage gets hurt when training with Rita (broken back and paralysis). So Rita {{Mercy Kill}}s him.

--->Cage: (deadpan) Okay, do it.

* Behind the scenes, in an interview, Emily Blunt says that she has a Valley Girl character with suitable accent she calls "Peyton". When Cage says Vrataski's middle name is Peyton, that's Cruise trolling her, but she managed not to laugh. You can see she smiles a little bit afterwards. Hard to notice, but it's there.

--> "I was out of mine in three seconds, Cage, what's the matter with you?"

** The first loop death. "No no no no no, [[CurseCutShort HOLY FU...]]" (Dies)

-->'''Farrel:''' What the hell were you thinking?
** Cage tries to run up to see Rita at one point, and is [[LookBothWays killed by a jeep from the side]]. It cuts immediately to him trying again, moving faster this time.

*** This tends to happen [[RunningGag when she kills Cage.]]

*** The final one is notable, as Cage is shown with an, "I Am In Hell And It Is [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Agonizing, Boring And Agonizingly Boring]]" look on his face.

* "Bloody hell, it's the Full Metal Bi--" *[[DoNotCallMePaul PUNCH]]*

* Upon meeting with the general a second time (to the viewer perspective), Cage instructs Rita not to shoot him [[OhNoNotAgain again]].

* It's a very serious moment in the film as Rita realises Cage is jeopardizing the mission because he's developing feelings for her and is deliberately trying to dissuade her from taking the helicopter, but Cage's awkward response to her [[ArmourPiercingQuestion Armour Piercing Questions]] is priceless.

-->'''Cage''': [[NoExceptYes No. Well... yes]]. I mean, I can take off, I’m still working on my landing.

--> "[[CasualDangerDialogue I was out of mine in three seconds, Cage, what's the matter with you]]?"

-->'''Cage''': [[NoExceptYes No. Well... yes]]. I mean, I can take off, I’m still working on my landing.

-->Farrel: "What the hell were you thinking?"

** This troper noticed the Jacket's normally fairly mundane whines and clanking were turned up to comical levels during this scene.

* It's a very serious moment in the film as Rita realises Cage is jeopardising the mission because he's developing feelings for her and is deliberately trying to dissuade her from taking the helicopter, but Cage's awkward response to her [[ArmourPiercingQuestion Armour Piercing Questions]] is priceless.

-->'''Cage''': [[NoExceptyes No. Well... yes]]. I mean, I can take off, I’m still working on my landing.

* It's a very serious moment in the film as Rita realises Cage is jeopardising the mission because he's developing feelings for her and is deliberately trying to dissuade her from taking the helicopter, but Cage's wheedling response to her [[ArmourPiercingQuestion Armour Piercing Questions]] is priceless.

-->'''Cage:''' [beat] Okay...first of all...this is a ''terrific'' presentation. ''Terrific''.

* "Bloody hell, it's the Full Metal bi--" *[[DoNotCallMePaul PUNCH]]*

** Second time, Cage tries to deny that his legs are broken and tries to walk. He fails, so he tries to weasel out of another mercy kill by saying he's totally good, only to give up, and let Rita unceremoniously shoot him again.

-->'''Griff''': Hey, Sarge? The new guy - what's his name again?

* "Whoa, it's the Full Metal--" *[[DoNotCallMePaul PUNCH]]*

** Second time, Cage tries to deny that his legs are broken and tries to walk. He fails, so he tries to weasel out of another mercy kill only to give up, just as unceremoniously shoots him again.
