5* Mike Toreno's "last mission" for CJ, which is picking up his brother from prison.
6** Another Toreno moment occurs earlier in the game, at the end of "N.O.E.", where he genuinely congratulates CJ for a job well done. This is especially nice if you've been [[ThatOneLevel really struggling on the mission.]]
7-->'''Mike Toreno:''' "Nice going, Carl! Really. You did good, kid."
8* Cesar has a lot of this in his EstablishingCharacterMoment. Some points of note:
9** Cooling off the misunderstanding between himself and Kendl in front of CJ.
10** Convincing CJ that CJ can drive good.
11** Entrusts CJ into cross-country racing events due to how Cesar founds CJ's driving really good (of note, Cesar is basically the first man ever NOT to mock CJ's driving).
12* The odd, but genuine friendship CJ and Woozie have. You wouldn't believe it at first glance, but they are essentially best friends. It got to the point where CJ was willing to do a favor for him without even asking anything in return, simply because he wanted to help Woozie. Woozie said it best that perfectly described how each other's help have basically changed their lives (especially CJ's) for the better.
13-->'''CJ:''' Hey man, look. Don't even trip. I'm gonna handle this for you, alright?
14-->'''Woozie:''' Thanks, my friend. [[SincerityMode Your help and friendship have been invaluable to me.]]
15-->'''CJ:''' Thanks man.
16** A small one, but from the quick scene we have of him with Cesar, he thought him and CJ were brother-in-laws, which they basically were.
17* Considering how much of a JerkAss Sweet is most of the time to CJ, this trope usually comes in play whenever Sweet actually compliments him.
18** Particularly where CJ and Sweet are driving from Madd Dogg's Crib back to Grove Street through the riots, and talk about Maccer. Sweet eventually starts listing off as many euphamisms for masturbation as he can, while CJ laughs and tells him to stop. It's this odd bonding moment that's nice in a weird sort of way. Considering how distant they usually are, literally and figuratively, the two of them just laughing and joking like that helps reaffirm the fact that at heart, they'll never not be brothers.
19* Having CJ to save Madd Dogg from suicide was awfully nice especially how much it sucked for Madd Dogg to have lost everything... thanks to CJ, but...
20* In-game: The Burger Shot cashier is such a NiceGirl -- [[VideoGameCaringPotential to the point where some players abstain from violence in there]], as a PetTheDog.
21* CJ is willing to let a harmless janitor stay in the maintenance closet and learn about his casino heist plans... solely because the Janitor lives in said closet. The result is the janitor actually helps out with the heist, providing extra muscle.
