- The past never being finished with us and Frank’s refusal to cry are nominated; Respect the cock is considered especially memorable.
- Earl’s regret over losing his love is played as an intense contender.
- Reilly’s monologues are challenged as too simple; Frank quietly judging the interviewer is another choice.
- Sharing everything to survive the lies that destroy others is quoted.
