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."
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? -

I could identify with the Miles completely cuz I had a bed hopping friend that would always ditch the rest of us for any girl that would give it up. So for me one of the funniest lines was, "Listen, man. Cammi gets off in an hour, so I was thinking I'd just hang around and have a drink, and make sure she gets home safe"
Of course, "No way! Anyone orders Merlot I'm leaving! I am not drinking any beep Merlot!! But I think everyone loved that one. -

Miles: (Smelling) There is some strawberry..maybe a little citrus.passion fruit.(puts finger up to ear), Oh, there's just the faintest soupcon of likeasparagus, and there's just aa flutter, of like aa nutty eatam cheese.
Why would he be able to smell all of that in a glass of wine? Classic. -

And at the end of the whole teaching him to be an insufferable wine snob, "are you chewing gum?"
This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here. -

There's no such thing as eatam cheese. Miles is probably referring to Edam cheese, a well known but terribly overrated cheese variety from my country. (Edam is a small town.) Which makes the joke even more perfect, because Miles is such a snob as to suggest he can not only smell a cheese flavor in the wine (which of course is silly), he also pretends he is able to distinguish between various sorts of cheese.
