Yes! Paul Giamatti's deliveries are exquisitely well done! Same with Church, now that I think of it. Brilliantly acted piece. I could watch this movie every day for the rest of my life.
Dear Mary, you who gave birth without sin, teach me how to sin and not give birth. -

when they all go back to stephanie's house and her and jack are in her bedroom, when miles and maya exit the kitchen with their wine you can vaguely hear jack in the background running the "now, for a low low 4.8% A.P.R. financing" bit on stephanie. i lose it everytime.

When Jack crashes the car against a tree and Miles finds out that a couple of bottles are broken. Jack: "Well, whatever", underlining that he doesn't give a damn about wine.
"His mother just died."
Jack: "That's brilliant. I could never write such a thing."
Miles: "Neither can I. I think it was Bukowski."
Jack: "Oh."
This movie is loaded with nice lines. That's what makes it so great. -

I just noticed when Jack is saying "now, for a low low 4.8% A.P.R. financing" to Stephanie. It is hilarious, because you hear her cracking up! I never noticed that before. Thank you for pointing that out!

That's a great subtle, comedic moment but you have to really listen carefully to hear it. Excellent.
One of my faves is when Miles drags Jack along to see his mother and when Jack asks how old she is, Miles says, "I dunno. Seventysomething." -

Jack: "Tastes pretty good to me."
Everytime he says it.
Jack: "I remember the girl that was in it with meshe was somethin'."
As if Miles' mother can relate to that.
Jack: "Do you have any other shoes?"
Miles: "Uh-uh."
Jack: "Hmmmm."
He makes Miles feel more awkward than he already was.
Miles: "No,no,no. I like all varietals. I just don't like the way they generally manipulate Chardonnay in California. Too much oak and secondary malolactic fermitation."
Jack: "Huh."
As if Jack knows what the hell Miles is talking about.
Jack: (Off-screen to Stephanie) "HA-HA-HA!! Here I am!"
ROTFL every time.
Jack: "Speak for yourself man. I get chicks looking at me all the time. All ages. Dudes too!"
Why does he have to throw that in there? Hillarious! -

Well, he does end up having a naked man chase him down the street later. Could it be foreshadowing?
