* Ellie's EstablishingCharacterMoment when she sees Carl, who is wearing a cap and pair of goggles identical to hers. She tells him only real explorers can be part of her club, and then happily invites him to join, complete with giving him a badge. You can see why Carl fell for her.
* Later, when Carl gets injured retrieving his balloon, Ellie manages to get it safely, find Carl's address, and return it to him. They spend the night in a makeshift tent, with Ellie showing him her scrapbook to cheer him up about his broken arm.



* Some moments during the Married Life Montage:
** Ellie and Carl make regular treks up the hill in the park to have picnics. While cloudgazing, they start talking about having kids. Ellie gets excited and says she wants lots of babies, so clouds of them fill the sky. Even though Carl is surprised, he's fully supportive and starts painting a nursery with her. Even though the next scene is a TearJerker, he cheers her up by showing her the scrapbook, and they make plans for a vacation to Paradise Falls.
** Carl and Ellie dance together in their old age. He's still got it.



** The Ellie badge is a grape bottlecap that Ellie gave to Carl, to invite her to his club. as Carl kept it all these years, as a memory of that first bond. He gives it to Russell, inviting him to the club of explorers and adventures. Knowing Ellie, she would have wanted Russell to have it as well as thanks for helping her husband.



** Dug's line immediately afterwards is made of this too. He just gets ''the'' happiest look he's ever had (which is quite a feat, since "happy" is his default expression) and joyfully cries out "YOU'RE MY MASTER?!" before jumping up and licking Carl's face.
