{{
* Just about anything Glottis says: "Manny, until now we scraped along the ground like rats, but from now on, we soar! Yeah... like ''eagles!'' On... ''pogo sticks!''"
* After talking Celso into buying tickets from Hector during act 4:
{{quote|
** Whereupon Manny is shown none other than ''his old office''...
* "Run you pigeons! It's Robert Frost!"
** The best part is that he squeaks the balloons afterward to punctuate it.
* (examining Eva)
{{quote|
'''Eva:''' It's my boss's whipping boy, Manny. }}
** And later, when you discover that Eva's a member of [[La Résistance|the resistance]]:
{{quote|
'''Eva:''' Just me, honey. }}
*** And near the end of the game
{{quote|
'''Eva:''' Think you could let the secretary thing go, Manny? }}
* During Act 3, Manny and Glottis run into Chepito, a hapless traveler who's been stuck wandering around in circles at the bottom of the sea because he's trying to follow a light he thinks is the moon. Part of a solution to a puzzle involves having Glottis grab his lantern and drag Chepito along with them, leading to this exchange:
{{quote|
'''Manny:''' To the moon! }}
* You gotta love Bruno's very first line upon being freed from his mortal body and seeing [[The Grim Reaper|Manny]]. Keep in mind that you hear this after going through a great deal of fooforaw to get a car, driver and client, and the scene cuts to black the second after he says it:

** Bruno is a source of fun. He doesn't even qualify for a walking stick - he's packed in a ''casket'' for a four year trip as ''luggage'', though you do give him a complimentary gift: a mug reading "Today Is The First Day of the ''End'' of Your Life!" Later, in Year 4, [[Brick Joke|you find Bruno's casket]]. When it opens, it's the same tinkling sound you heard when freeing him from his mortal body. His reaction to seeing you is absolutely priceless.

* Start experimenting with the 'pick up' command. Cat feces, women ([[Ho Yay|and sometimes men]]), the moon...
* An [[Easter Egg]]...try typing "BLAM" when playing. See what happens.
Line 27:
* Olivia's poem, riffing on the beat-poetry of days gone by: Ashes, to ashes, to ashes, to ashes, to ashes, to me, to ashes, to ashes, to ashes.
* Here's a pretty clever one from the first act:
{{quote|
'''Domino''': Oh, ''Manny'', I ''would'', but I'm too intimidated. I could never be partners with someone who was so much more of a ''man'' than me.
'''Manny''': Oh, come on. I've seen your wife. }}
* Manny's lines in the Land of the Living are pretty funny.
** Revealing himself briefly to a living person:
{{quote|
** Then:
{{quote|
** Revealing himself again will give him this gem:
{{quote|
** Looking at a hamburger:
{{quote|
** And the milkshake:
{{quote|
* Any and all of Manny's jabs at Domino:
{{quote|
'''Domino:''' You have to have the proper attitude to get diplomas like those, Manny!
'''Manny:''' Really? I thought you just had to have the proper postage. }}
* "What a relief. I was getting concerned that our transportation wasn't ostentatious enough."
