- Moss’s sarcastic plan to rob everyone and go to Argentina is a favorite quote.
- Moss’s killing-the-goose complaint and Aaronow echoing “boots” are another favorite exchange.
- “Robbery. It is a crime. It’s also very safe” is another Moss choice.
- Moss announcing the plan to take the Glengarry leads in pouring rain is another favorite line.
- Moss’s “fuck the lot of you” is another memorable quote.
- “What are you, Ricky, Bishop Sheen?” is admired as a character-specific, now-obscure reference.
- Williamson’s “will you go to lunch?” is another choice; Blake’s speech and Roma’s lines are too densely good to isolate easily.
- “Good father? Fuck you. Go home and play with your kids” is singled out as an exceptionally funny Baldwin line.
