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.
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. -

"You didn't get any did you??
awkward silence
you're a homo"
lol, giamatti's response was gold too, on the commentary they said most of it was improvised. "yeah, i'm a homo, yeah. write out my gay confession and i'll sign it". -

Mike Erganian: Good I like non fiction. There is so much to know about this world. I think you read something somebody just invented, waste of time.
Miles Raymond: That's an interesting perspective.
Giamatti's delivery cracked me up. -

I don't think my absolute favourite one has been put up yetit's so subtle it got very few laughs in the theaters I saw this init's when Miles is buying the
Barely Legal
and when the checkout guy grabs one, Miles replies, "No, nothe new one." First because of the patent earnestness with which he requests it, just like everything he requests, from glasses of wine to spinach croissants. Second because of the implications of him knowing which one was
new
. You don't have to have bought porn in a convenience store to find that LOL funny, but it helps
Two other already mentioned faves are "she thinks you're a writer" and "his mother just died". But neither can top the
Barely Legal
moment.
I wonder what the not-quite-barely-legal girls in his class would think of him, um, reading
Barely Legal
You just keep throwing your feathers, mister, before I put you in a hospital.
