Ratatouille/Awesome

• Colette's opening speech/rant to Linguini, swiftly followed by her tough love Training Montage with the new garbage boy. She starts as intimidating, then moves to authoritative as a master of the kitchen and then irresistible when she thanks her protege for listening to her with respect.

Here, let me make it easy to remember. Keep your station clear...or I WILL KILL YOU!

• Ego's "perspective" line. It was badass in a more subdued way.
  • As was his "I don't like food, I love it. If I don't love it, I don't swallow". The line itself is brilliantly hammy on its own, but the incredible growl Peter O'Toole manages to put into the last word is truly spectacular. Watch it here at about 0.46
• Rémy's dad gets a CMOA when he rallies the rat colony to replace the kitchen staff. Always brings a tear to my eye.

"We're not cooks... but we are family."

• Remy, when he argues against his father's hopeless philosophy that nature cannot be changed with a profound statement about his hope to become more than what he is.

Remy: Change is nature, Dad. The part that we can influence, and it starts when we decide.

• Linguini, at the climax when he has to be the sole waiter for the entire restaurant and in handling the role with lightning efficiency, realizes that Maitre'D is his true calling.
• Anton Ego, when he writes his review, putting his own role in perspective while praising Remy's culinary genius to the skies, knowing that he is likely sacrificing his career to do it.
  • Ego's Tear Jerker flashback to his mother's kitchen is a CMOA for the filmmakers.
• Heck, even an IMAGINARY character gets one. Remy's figment of Chef Gusteau giving a motivational speech.
• Horst: I killed a man...with THIS thumb!
  • Also a Crowning Moment of Funny.
    • As is him threatening Skinner with the exact same thumb.
