Short Circuit:

• How quickly Stephanie decides that Number 5 was an alien and how quickly she accepts the idea of being visited by the "alien" was rather amusing.
• Howard, scared about what the malfunctioning Number 5 might do, makes this comment:

Howard: What if it decides to melt down a bus full of nuns? How would you write the headline on that?! Ben: Nun soup?

• Ben is generally pretty good for these. When Crosby was taking No. 2 (without permission) on his hunt for No. 5, Howard started freaking out some more.

Howard: Great! So instead of $11 million on the loose, we're going to have twenty-two! Ben: Plus we are needing gas money.

• Any and all Ben's Malaproper phrases.

"I am standing here beside myself." (I am beside myself) "So now I am having no job to speak about. I will have to smack the sidewalk." (I have no job to speak of. I will have to pound the pavement) "I have seen some strange, bizarre drivers, but you. You will be awarded a cake." (I have see some strange, bizarre drivers, but you take the cake) "Bimbo!" (Bingo) "With excitement like this, who is needing enemas?" "Newton, we are wasting valueless time here!"

• And this great line:

Newton: "So what do you think of her?" Ben: "I am thinking she is a wirgin. Or at least used to be one."

• And this one:

Newton: "Where are you from, anyway?" Ben: "Bakersfield, originally." Newton: "No, I mean your ancestors." Ben: "Oh, dem. Pittsburgh."

• Just Ben in general.

"Bye-bye, goofy woman. I enjoyed repeatedly throwing you to the ground."

• Nearly everything Benjamin says is hilarious ("So instead of $11 million on the loose, we have $22 million." Ben: "And plus, we are needing gas money!"), but one line stands out:

Benjamin: Newton Crosby, you must make instantaneous appearance! Crosby: *makes a piano-playing robot hand flip him off* Benjamin: Is that a yes, or the number of your intelligence quotient?

• • The scene where Johnny 5 dismantles that guy's car (in about 10 seconds), lays the pieces out in order, drops the manual and says "simple!"

Short Circuit 2:

• Fred tries explaining that he didn't "lose" Johnny Five. He just "misplaced him, y'know? Like your car keys."

Ben: "HOW ARE YOU MISPLACING A 700 POUND CAR KEY?!"

• The moment that Number Five/Johnny Five discovered the bookstore and begins heading towards it excitedly. By the time Fred catches back up to him, it looks like a tornado erupted inside the building.
