  • Ryan's friend Chad calling him to complain how his "date" with the girl with huge nipples resulted in him being volunteered to be a silly whale mascot for the day. And uses it to flirt with blonde women.

  • Jessica's surname is Martin. When Ryan arrives at the school, she tells him her son's name is Ricky.
    Ryan: Ricky Martin? You named your child Ricky Martin?!
    Jessica: It was before the singer...
  • In an otherwise terrifyingly tense scene with Ethan interrogating Jessica, she's trying to hide her broken phone because some middle-aged woman on Ryan's end is blasting hip hop music from her car and ignoring his protests, causing him no end of annoyance.
  • When Ryan was desperately asking around for a charger in the Cellular store, and all he got were busy salespeople.
    "Sweetie, I'm on break, take a number."
  • When Ryan goes into the cell phone store with a loaded gun and shooting the smiley face sticker on the numbered ticket machine.
    Ryan: "NOW WHO'S GONNA GIVE ME THAT GODDAMN CHARGER?!"
    • The news report later reporting on Ryan's "robbery" where the salesman mentions that not only did Ryan actually pay for the charger, he overpaid because they had a sale.
  • The lawyer in the blue car.

    *he starts to lose the signal*
    "Hello? Mom, are you still there?"
    • When Ryan's call gets jumbled in the cell signal, and ends up in the lawyer's phone, Ryan has to acquire it.

    Lawyer: Oh hell no! [immediately gives him the phone]
    • When the lawyer is at the impound trying to get his car back, Ryan appears in a cab and steals the lawyer's car again.
  • William H. Macy wearing the green algae mask. After one too many beauty parlor ribbings, Macy's character finally snaps back in the end, "It's a day spa, you fuck!"
  • The final lines of the movie:
    Jessica: I don't know if there's anything I can ever do to thank you.
    Ryan: I do. Don't ever call me again.
