- Nominations: the bifocals line, 'every day you get older, that's a law', called a good senior yearbook quote, 'this is no time for bravery, I'll let you', and Etta's monologue about sewing socks and stitching wounds but refusing to watch him die, a great moment.
- The last line of the movie, 'for a moment I thought we were in trouble', is played and called so good; the first line is mentioned too; 'I can't swim' is the most famous line; the 'I think we lost them' exchange and the Bolivia exchange round it out.
