Yes. Imagine how nice a girl who bathes would be.

It is bad to drink Jobus rum. Very bad.

(suddenly) "If I begin to die, please take this off. It's not how I want to be remembered."

(slapping Arthur with his own gloves) "You spoiled little bastard."

Not so much a one liner, but when he wakes up and tells Arthur he looks terrible. Moore's grinning response that it's because he's never seen him sober is touching. I've worked with dozens of people in recovery and you really notice what a day or two of sobriety does.
