The line someone claimed hearing at the end of \"art therapy\" was a joke added in by someone who uploaded a Youtube video of the ending scene. It\'s not there in the actual game.


* Speaking of the ending of "Art Therapy"...well, it's really more ''hopeful'' than heartwarming, but listen carefully [[spoiler: after the robots shoo the bird out the escape hatch: in some versions, you can distinctly hear a male voice yelling "Get off, you goddamn bird!"

* Cave Johnson's pre-recorded message where advises the homeless test subjects to not waste the sixty dollars they'll be getting later. Granted, the message is superficially just as insensitive as any of his others, but there's literally no reason for him to have recorded this besides being, on some level, concerned for his test subjects' well-being. It's a subtle touch that goes a long way to make his character more sympathetic.

And now, all those years later, after being put through hell, Chell sees her little potato again - and it's well on its way to becoming its own ecosystem. There is no way that didn't cheer her up at least a little bit.
