* As they're preparing to go into Ganymede and find Dr. Strickland and Prax's daughter, Holden tells Prax the plan is to get on the planet, then worry about how to find them. Prax incredulously asks if all their plans are this vague, and Amos shrugs and says, "This is about average." When Prax remarks that they must have been very lucky up to now, Amos plainly says, yeah, they have been, and Holden gives him an annoyed look.

-->'''Shed''': Yeah, I get jock itch to sometimes. Pretty bad, actually. What I recommend to my patients is Uvazole, it's an anti-fungal cream and the best thing about it is if you put it under your tongue, it, uh, helps to relax...

[[folder:Episode # 9 "Winnipesaukee"]]

-->'''Amos:''' [[NoodleIncident I didn't always live in space.]]

-->'''Avasarala:''' ''Or'' we can space all three of you for being such intolerable idiots, I'm fine either way.

-->'''Prax:''' It's a kind of frost, honey.

** The bartender decides Miller's had enough, confiscates his bottle, and pours herself a glass. "That's my tip."

* The cheese story.

* The entire scene with Amos restrained in the RCE command shelter. He's listening to his captor drone on and on about a restaurant on Titan, when Chandra relieves his post. She and Amos promptly start engaging in verbal foreplay...

-->'''Shandra:''' Oh really? You think you can take on all my men by yourself?

-->'''Shandra:''' *Shaking her head and grabbing his chin again* You are ''so fucking weird''.

-->'''Shandra:''' *Shaking her head and grabbing his chin again* You are so fucking weird.

-->'''Amos''': I bet those pretty tin suits bind of something awful in the crotch. I mean, all that fancy gear and the one thing they don't allow for is scratching your junk.

-->'''Amos:''' (casually) Alright, I'm gonna see that gun back.

* Avasarala snarking at Naomi after the former [=OPA=] member argues that the Belt has as much of a right to the protomolecule as the [=UN=] and [=MCR=] do when Avasarala is arguing that the protomolecule needs to be completely destroyed and the others:

* After thinking over Holden's claims to have been receiving visions from [[spoiler:Miller]], he awkwardly goes up to Holden and asks if they could talk "without interrupting, y'know, your talks with... [[spoiler:Miller?]]" while weakly gesturing to his own head. Cue Holden giving him [[DeathGlare a flat stare]] and closing the door on Alex before resuming to try and summon the Investigator. What makes it even funnier is how Holden shouting [[spoiler:Miller's]] name actually serves as an InUniverse JumpScare for Alex when he starts to walk away.

* According to Amos, him having held a knife to Monica's throat to get Cohen to explain how he sabotaged the ''Roci'' before having them both ThrownOutTheAirlock so they could contact another ship and let them know the ''Roci'' has no comms was him being "gentle."
-->'''Amos:''' Sorry, Cap'n.\\
'''Holden:''' (dismissively) Eh, it's okay.

'''Avasarala:'' Right, the tedious version, then.

-->'''Holden:''' ''[{{beat}}]'' I'm glad we had this talk.

* Alex's blink-and-you'll-miss-it reaction to Drummer [[spoiler: shooting two of the RenegadeSplinterFaction OPA]], then walking to the medbay without him. It's a weird combination of annoyance, underreaction, and confusion.

-->"Wherever I goddamn like!"
** Followed up a moment later by this gem:
-->"Whoever the fuck you are, stand down and let her speak."

* When the Roci crew reaches Umea's hideout, they find her and her men....eating pizza. She even offers them some. Then it immediately turns into a shootout.

-->'''Holden:''' ''(readies himself to go in)'' ...Wait here.
-->'''Naomi:''' No chance.
-->'''Amos:''' Hell no.
-->'''Prax:''' No fucking way.

-->'''Employee:''' ...I'm a ''electrician''.

-->'''Bobbie''': You're right, you'd never make that climb.
-->'''Avasarala''': Jesus Christ, not because I'm old! He's been shot!
-->'''Cotyar''': [[DeadpanSnarker Also, she's really old]].

* There's a running gag in this episode and the next one of Avasarala's terrible bedside manner in regard to Cotyar's gunshot wound. Including:
----> '''Avasarala''': You're losing a lot of blood.
----> '''Cotyar''': I'll try to bleed slower.

----> '''Avasarala''': Sorry, you cannot go into shock. Tell him I need comm access.

** Avasarala's frazzled 'huh?' when Cotyar [[RecklessGunUsage takes back his gun]].

-->'''Prax:''' You should try tea.

* Bobbie advises Avasarala to squeeze her thighs together, to keep her blood from pooling in one spot from the G-forces. Avasarala, not realizing this, states that if Bobbie is trying to hit on her, she's wasting her time. Bobbie's response is a "WTF?" look over her shoulder.

-->'''Avasarala''': What would you know about walking in pumps?
-->'''Amos''': I didn't always live in space.

-->'''Bobbie''': I can't even get you to do what I want and you're half my size!

-->'''Amos''': Shit. [[TheCavalryArrivesLate Did I miss it?]]
* Holden brings in Avasarala to talk to Sinopoli, the OnlySaneMan of the rescued Martians, who is awestruck by being in the same room as her, to her annoyance.
-->'''Avasarala''': This is going to be very tedious if you remain this dim.\\
'''Sinopoli''': I don't understand. What the hell kind of a ship is this?\\
'''Avasarala''': Right, the tedious version, then.

-->'''Avasarala''': Or we can space all three of you for being complete idiots, I'm fine either way.

* Doubles as a [[Sugarwiki/HeartwarmingMoments Heartwarming]] moment, but when Prax calls Amos his best friend in front of Mei, [[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent Amos gives him a shocked wide-eyed look and then appears thoughtful for a moment]]. You can see him thinking "The fuck? No one has called me ''that'' before..."

* In a depressingly funny way, Maneo Jung-Espinoza is saddened to learn that his girl left him (and is sleeping with his brother to boot) and finds himself so low that he listens to a Belter Creole version of "All By Myself" and drinks from a urine collection bag.

* Monica offers to sleep with Amos if it will get him talking. He refuses, stating "I don't shit where I eat." Her male cameraman decides to try his hand, and Amos offers the same response. When he points out that Amos lives on a starship -- in essence, he does shit where he eats -- Amos counters that he doesn't shit in the galley.
* Maneo's [[LudicrousGibs ultimate fate]] is [[BloodyHilarious amusing]] for how shocking and abrupt it is.

** After a brief talk following that, Amos tells Holden that if he needs to vent and smash some stuff, he should go ahead. [[CallBack Just leave the coffee maker alone this time]].

* Martian marines set to intercept Holden and try to get radio contact with him while he is talking to [[spoiler:the mental image of Detective Miller]]. HilarityEnsues.
-->'''Bobbie:''' Holden, it's Bobbie Draper.\\
'''Holden:''' Really?\\

'''Holden:''' What? No. I mean, yes. Yes. Another channel.\\

'''Holden:''' Monkeys and microwaves?\\

* Melba Koh[[spoiler:/Clarissa Mao]] has finally found Holden, locked into a prisoner cell across from him. When he introduces himself with a simple "Hey, I'm Jim, what are you in for?", all she can do is [[ActuallyPrettyFunny laugh]].

* Naomi and Drummer remotely watching Holden speak to the Investigator (who only he can see) results in hilariously confused expressions that are a mix between "is this guy really crazy?" and "this is our only hope to survive."

* [[{{YMMV}} This is obviously a matter of opinion]], but some might find Maneo's [[LudicrousGibs ultimate fate]] [[BloodyHilarious amusing]] for how shocking and abrupt it is.
