Line 2:
* Jack Kelso definitely has one on {{spoiler|the last case. After [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Monroe]] arranges a meeting (which is clearly a trap) with Kelso in his estate, Kelso decides to call his former Marine buddies and stages an all-out assault on the estate. After that, he shoots Monroe in his leg, looks around his office for a bit, and leaves him bleeding before he calmly leaves the estate to find Elsa.}}
** Made even better by what he says immediately after {{spoiler|shooting Monroe in the leg}}.
{{quote| '''Jack''': That's my opening negotiating position!}}
** And better again by what he says after {{spoiler|stomping on Monroe's injured leg while he's down}}.
{{quote| '''Jack''': That was my second offer!}}
** And he does all of this {{spoiler|while bleeding from a gunshot wound in his arm, which he doesn't even acknowledge while Monroe is screaming for a doctor due to his own gunshot wound}}.
* Cole's initial meeting with Leland Monroe, especially if you {{spoiler|call him out on building houses on the cheap and lying about the Catalina Island promotion.}}
** It even nets you an achievement in the Xbox 360 version!
* Cole telling off Roy Earle when he speaks ill of the late {{spoiler|Courtney}}.
{{quote| '''Cole''': "He was a better man than you'll ever know. You say ''[[Never Speak Ill of the Dead|one more thing about him]]'' and '''[[Precision F -Strike|I WILL BLOW YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF!]]'''"}}
** He also calls him off {{spoiler|when he tries to warn him to stop investigating Elysian Fields}}.
{{quote| '''Cole''': [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|Thanks for your cooperation, Officer]].}}
* Gameplay-wise, running over Roy Earle with a car once you find out that {{spoiler|he ratted Phelps out for cheating on his wife with Elsa}}. This troper wishes that Roy Earle {{spoiler|would get killed off in the story as well.}}
* Cole's first introduction to [[Smug Snake|Mickey Cohen]]. When Earle starts to introduce them, Phelps cuts him off by saying "I met his brother-in-law," and walks away. What makes it awesome is that Phelps had just {{spoiler|gunned down Cohen's brother-in-law in the previous case}}. The point is not lost on Cohen.
* Even [[Smug Snake|Roy Earle]] gets one near the end of "The Black Caesar", a caretaker approaches the detectives as they attempt to enter the Polar Bear Ice Company building.
{{quote| '''Caretaker''': Place has been closed for years. Not much demand for ice, what with the new freezers...<br />
'''Earle''': Save it for someone who cares......do all janitors carry gats? (nonchalantly pulls out his gun and kills the caretaker before he can do anything.)<br />
'''Phelps''': *To [[Leeroy Jenkins|Earle]]* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|That's one way to announce that we're here]]! }}
* Elsa has one in the end when she calls out Roy Earle {{spoiler|in Cole's funeral for pretending to be his friend}}.
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Earle''': A cop wrongly accused, who never lost faith in the LAPD and the system...}}<br />
{{spoiler|'''Elsa''': Swine! You ''belittle'' his memory!}} }}
** Also in "Manifest Destiny"
{{quote| '''Earle''': If you care about working in this town, you better give me something on Bittleson and Bowe, or their knucklehead buddies Tyree and Lamont.<br />
'''Elsa''': And this is your idea of making enquiries, [[Bilingual Bonus|Untersturmfuhrer?]] }}
* Escaping from the falling chandelier in "The Quarter Moon Murders", with the Crowning Music of Awesome playing.
