  • Trying to leave Spectre, Edward travels through a creepy living forest that seems like it's trying to either keep him in Spectre or actively hurting him. Edward's reaction? "Wait a minute... this isn't how I die!" Cue the trees dropping Edward immediately and the movie moving on as though nothing happened.
  • "This is my attorney, Mr. Soggy Bottom."
  • The montage of Edward's Dissonant Serenity after he receives a new fact about Sandra from Amos each month, always with the same reaction ("X...she likes X"). This extremely blissful demeanor never changes in any situation, from cleaning elephant feces to being inside of a cannon.
  • Danny DeVito's nude scene.
  • The scene where, after Don punches him bloody, when Edward hears that Sandra wants to be with him instead, his face breaks out into a thrilled grin, then turns to Don, unwittingly rubbing salt in his wounds. Don spitefully gives Edward one last punch, as our hero passes out giving the most bloody, dumbest smile that screams "Worth It".
  • Edward's Combat Pragmatist moment at a North Korean theater.
  • Edward promising the Twins a way to the States.
    Edward: I know the biggest man in show business.
    Twins: Bob Hope?!
    Edward: Bigger.
  • When Edward goes to the bank, he runs into Norther Winslow, the poet from Spectre. Edward asks Norther what he's doing here. "I'm robbing this place."
    • And he uses Edward as an impromptu accomplice.
  • Although the scene starts out sobering, Edward trying to leave Jennifer Hill's home after she simply says she won't sell it to him quickly quickly loses whatever sad atmosphere it had when he finds himself trying unsuccessfully to yank the door open. ...before it outright breaks off its hinges and slams down on the table!
