| 1 | * Doctor Lamar's revelation near the end that a) he's known about Vincent's real identity all along and b) admires the fact that, despite his so-called 'deficiencies' and having to hide them from his bosses, Vincent otherwise ''has'' qualified for the space program, all through his solid willpower and his willingness to do whatever it took. |
| 2 | -->'''Doctor Lamar:''' "I still haven't told you about my son, have I? He's a big fan of yours. He wants to apply here... Unfortunately, my son's not all that they promised. But then again, who knows what he could do? For future reference, right-handed men don't hold it with their left [when they are peeing]. Just one of those things." (gesturing for Vincent to hurry up) "You're gonna miss your flight, Vincent." |
| 3 | * Eugene climbing the stairs (note that he ''can't use his legs'' and has to ''pull himself along'') edges somewhere between Awesome and [[Heartwarming/{{Gattaca}} Heartwarming]]. |
| 4 | * Vincent's BadassBoast to his brother in the middle of their last game of chicken. |
| 5 | -->'''Vincent:''' "You want to know how I did it? This is how I did it, Anton: I never saved anything for the swim back!" |
| 6 | * Anton initially avoids being sidetracked by the hunt for the In-Valid when everyone else had a motive to kill the director. Later, thanks to his pushing the investigation back to the actual scene of the crime, his partner ultimately solves the case by following up on the line of thought and finding incriminating DNA from a SpitefulSpit. |
| 7 | ** The case is literally solved by a combination of one man's refusal to accept his brother killed someone and his partner's dedication to searching every nook and cranny for evidence. |
| 8 | * The film's tag-line itself: ''There is no gene for the human spirit.'' |
