- “Take your hands off my lobby boy” is a choice.
- The speech about faint glimmers of civilization ending in “Oh, fuck it” is another preferred choice.
- “I go to bed with all my friends” and the cat-out-the-window reaction are recalled.
- The abrupt shift from mortality to “She was dynamite in the sack” is enjoyed.
- The fillet-versus-cheaper-cuts speech is another candidate.
- The poetry abruptly interrupted by “Holy shit, you got him!” is a favorite.
- Zero recounting torture followed by “Well, you know the drill then. Zip it” is nominated.
- Gustave complimenting Madame D.’s corpse and asking for the morgue’s cream is another choice.
- The chilled-water request and the joke about being a straight man are also recalled.
