- The boathouse-at-Hereford exchange is called the greatest line of the movie.
- The part-of-the-problem, part-of-the-solution, part-of-the-landscape line would be a good senior yearbook quote, alongside the hurt-somebody's-feelings exchange.
- 'Lady, I never walk into a place I don't know how to walk out of' is called right out of Heat.
- The pass-out line after the bullet removal is liked.
- 'I ambush you with a cup of coffee' is repeated as a favorite.
- The man-and-a-woman-going-for-a-walk line is recommended for use with one's wife; De Niro's characters never seem to understand marriage.
