* When Terence's father tries to contact his son and doesn't get any answers, he reports him missing, a story that reaches the national newspapers.

* The entire sequence where Ray tries increasingly desperate means to get Terrence Mann to see a baseball game with him. Mann [[DeadpanSnarker snarks]] his way through the encounter while trying to get Ray out of his apartment and even sprays him with an old-fashioned insecticide pump. When Ray resorts to a BrandishmentBluff, Mann grabs a crowbar.

* Upon returning to the farm with Terence and Archie, Ray finds that the players have brought friends so they can play an actual game. Joe tells him that the field is already semi-legendary on the other side, and that all the old great ball players wanted to come. To emphasize this, Archie starts pointing and naming several famous ball players of ages past. Then Joe, who has been very reserved and soft-spoken up to this point, delivers a boistrous TakeThat that any baseball enthusiast would bust a gut laughing over:

* Ray convinces Terrence to go to the baseball game with him. As they walk into the stadium, they discuss Terrence's writing, his activism, and his current reclusiveness. Finally Ray asks him:

'''Terrence''': I want people to stop looking to me for answers; begging me to speak again, write again, be a leader. I want people to start thinking for themselves. '''''And I want my privacy!'''''\\

'''Terrence''': Oh... A dog and a beer.

'''Terrence''': ''(rolling his eyes)'' Oh god.\\

'''Terrence''': You know that's just the kind of crap people always try to lay on me! It's not my fault you wouldn't play catch with your father!

** Really, it's funnier for the fact that Ray Liotta has the most [[LargeHam infamous "fake" laugh of any actor out there.]]

-->'''Mann:''' You said your ''finger'' was a ''gun''!

'''Ray''': ''(hesitantly)'' That's when I read "The Boat Rocker" by Terrence Mann. Never played catch with him again.\\
'''Terrence''': Oh god. You know that's just the kind of crap people always try to lay on me! It's not my fault you wouldn't play catch with your father!

* When Annie has a stand-off with the MoralGuardians who want to ban Terrence Mann's book.

-->'''Ray''': I know a lot about farming, Mark. I know more about farming than you ''think'' I know.//
'''Mark''': Oh yeah? Then how can you plow into your major crop?//
'''Ray''': (''face falls; turns to Annie in mock puzzlement'') [[DeadpanSnarker ...What's a crop?]]

'''Ray''': I know a lot about farming, Mark. I know more about farming than you ''think'' I know.
'''Mark''': Oh yeah? Then how can you plow into your major crop?

--> '''Annie''': "If you build what, who will come?"
--> '''Ray''': "It didn't say."
--> '''Annie''': "I hate it when that happens."
--> '''Ray''': "Yeah, me, too."

--> '''Mann:''' I'm going to beat you with a crowbar 'till you leave.\\

'''Mann:''' [stops, tosses away the crowbar.] ''Shit.''

--> '''Archie''': "Hey Ump, how about a warning?"
--> '''Umpire''': "Okay," (waits a beat, glancing at the pitcher, but actually continues talking to Archie) "Watch out you don't get killed, kid."

-->'''Ray''': "So what do you want?"
-->'''Terrence''': "I want people to stop looking to me for answers; begging me to speak again, write again, be a leader. I want people to start thinking for themselves. '''''And I want my privacy!'''''"
-->''{{Beat}}''
-->'''Ray''': "[[NotTheUltimateQuestion No]], I mean..." (''points at the concession stand'') "What do you '''want'''?"
-->'''Terrence''': "Oh... A dog and a beer."

--> "You ''can't'' sell this field, Ray."
* When Ray tells Terrence about how when he was 17, he wouldn't play catch with his father and basically destroyed their relationship:
-->'''Terrence''': Why 17?
-->'''Ray''': That was when I read "The Boat Rocker" by Terrence Mann.
-->'''Terrence''': Damn it, people give me this shit all the time. It wasn't MY fault you wouldn't play catch with your father!
