Still a Zero Context Example. This entry is only a basic description of the scene. To fit this trope, it should explain why or how the scene became ingrained in pop culture. Hiding it again, per the wiki's policy.

Lacks context; extremely forced example. This scene is widely considered to be a massive Tear Jerker.
