  • "Open the window. Now jump. [Andrew jumps up and down, *Jump *Jump*Jump*] No— out the window!"
    • After this, Andrew understandably becomes afraid of heights, which get referenced later on, such as Andrew hesitantly looking out the window of a skyscraper 37 floors up and this exchange with "Little Miss:"
    Amanda: Would you please come with me?
    Andrew: ...Does this involve a window?
    Amanda: (giggling) No.
    • Fridge Funny: Jumping out the window is probably what jostled his programming; he never showed any individuality up until then!
    Richard: Good night, Andrew.
    Andrew: Good night, Andrew.
    • At one point after the jump, Andrew walks into the wall. That's how broken he was.
  • Andrew's presentation of the Three Laws of Robotics scaring the living crap out of the Martin family as he loudly states all three laws to John Philip Sousa's "The Washington Post March".
    Richard: Andrew, don't ever do that again.
  • Early in the movie the joke about the man with dementia.
    • As well as Andrew's Rapid-Fire Comedy style of joke-telling in the same scene - mixing in "What's invisible and smells of worms? Bird farts" with far more adult humor.
    • Not to mention the unintentional joke afterward.
      • And much later on in the film, Andrew delivers this:
    "If nothing mattered, you'd love me, and not some man whose chin could sink the Titanic!"
  • The scene displaying Galatea's new Jerkass personality. Rupert's understandably confused and bewildered reaction to it all really sells it, as well as every word out of Galatea's mouth.
  • While Andrew and Rupert are working on the artificial organs, Galatea starts singing "If I Only Had a Heart". LOUDLY. Banging on Andrew's metal chest. Andrew is NOT amused.
    Andrew: (casually, to Rupert) Do you have an impact drill?
    Rupert: (focused on his work) Uh, yeah, over on the rack.
    Andrew: Thank you. (walks off)
    (sound of a drill being revved up, then Galatea screams)
    Rupert: JESUS!
  • When Rupert removes Andrew's robotic outer head, Andrew looks in the mirror and screams, startling Rupert and Galatea.
    Rupert: What happened?
    Andrew: I saw the inner me.
  • Andrew's frustrated response to a busted record player: "What a piece of fecal matter."
  • "...People actually do this, sir?"
    • Andrew maintains a shocked expression throughout Richard's explanation.
