* Greg is just as plainly honest as the next person, but it becomes heartwarming when [[spoiler: he tells Mark that he hasn't lost Anna yet]].
* In a meta sense, The scene where Mark invents religion to give his mother happiness on her deathbed is a mature scene from Ricky Gervais. Gervais is an outspoken atheist and never shies away from voicing his opinion on it. Here, however, Gervais is taking a mature route by saying the idea of an afterlife can be comforting for the people who need it most.

** Just the sheer fact that Anna [[spoiler: remembered that Mark did not lie in order to get her to marry him. Keep in mind that she is completely baffled by the concept of lying, even when he explains it to her, but she understood that he could've easily manipulated her with it and chose not to]].
