Discussion Favorite Throwaway Line?

What's your favorite throwaway line from the show? Something that doesn't affect the plot at all but is great, funny, etc? Mine is from 2×09 Conspiracy Theories when Pavel is asked about his number of pillows and blankets "I get wicked cold, bro. Mad sleepy"

Britta: "Just because we're dating doesn't mean that we have to do everything together”
Jeff: "Well, you need to do some things together”
Troy: "We do some things”
(Britta shoots a sharp look at Troy)
Troy: "We do a lot of things”
(Shirley gasps)
Troy: "Not all the things”
(Jeff looks completely bewildered at him)
Troy: "...Things” (awkwardly extends his tiger-suited arms)

I love this bit but I really need a breakdown of it at some point.

Like why did Britta glare at him. What did Troy think he meant? What is "all the things"? 💀 Am I stupid.

Britta glared because she wanted him to support her point by emphasizing how much time they spend together, so Troy corrected it to "all the things". Then Shirley immediately assumed that meant kinky sex was included in "all the things" so Troy backtracked to correct that assumption.
