* "We can't let them get away! All they have to do is eat three or four children and they'll be the most ''appalling'' publicity!"
** That line might be a sort of MythologyGag since, in an earlier version of the first movie's script, the gremlins did indeed eat people.



** He's worried that if the Bat Gremlin gets out of the building, it'll eat "three or four" children... which would be dreadful publicity for the lab!

* Following the heartwarming scene of Billy and Gizmo's reunion, Billy goes to inform Kate of the situation. She's...less happy about it than he is:

Misquoted from the final film; fixed.


'''Brain:''' The niceties, Fred. The fine points: diplomacy, compassion, standards, manners, tradition... that's what we're reaching toward. Oh, we may stumble along the way, but civilization, yes. The Geneva Convention, chamber music, Susan Sontag. Everything your society has worked so hard to accomplish over the centuries, that's what we aspire to; we want to be civilized. (''a silly Gremlin with a beanie cap acts goofy next to Brain'') You take a look at this fellow here. '''''(BLAMMO!)''''' Now, was that civilized? No, clearly not. '''''Fun''''', but in no sense civilized. Now, bear in mind, none of us has been in New York before. There are the Broadway shows - we'll have to find out how to get tickets. There's also a lot of street crime, but I believe we can watch that for free. We want the essentials. Dinettes. Complete bedroom groups. Convenient credit, even though we've been turned down in the past...

***For that matter the whole scene with Lincoln in the movie, serves as a humorous call-back to the Santa/dad speech from the first movie which was infamous for how the audience thought the scene was tonally weird at what it was supposed to be.

* Kate going into a {{BSOD}} over hearing about Lincoln's Birthday -- because a man dressed as Lincoln exposed himself to her on that holiday. Also Billy physically dragging her off-camera as she launches into this story. The mass eye rolling sells the moment, especially Mr. Futterman who [[HereWeGoAgain probably heard]] all of her stories as Billy did.
