Awesome / As Good as It Gets

• Really, pick anything, by anyone and everyone. Even the manager of Carol's restaurant tells Melvin to get out (or "man there's gonna be trouble"). Other examples, most of which involved Melvin.
• Simon taking a swing at Melvin once the insults reach the tipping point. Badass bonus points for this being the first time he gets out of his wheelchair after being badly injured.
  • Prior to this, Melvin has utterly intimidated and cowed the soft-spoken Simon alongside the treatment of his dog, prompting Frank to threaten Melvin; it's the first ten minutes of the film and totally affirms that while we can be sympathetic to Melvin's condition it does not make everything he's saying OK. Shortly followed up by Carol angrily snapping at him over a careless remark invoking her son and his health.
• "Shut up, kids!"
• American audiences cheered at Carol's rage at the health insurance companies - "Fucking HMO bastard pieces of shit!" ("Actually, I think that's their technical name," is the doctor's sympathetic reply when she apologizes for her outburst.)
