Line #18 Heartwarming/LizzieMcGuire


1	'''TV Series'''
2	* Kate and Lizzie reminiscing about their friendship.
3	* Lizzie and Gordo comforting Miranda over her body-image issues in "Inner Beauty"
4	* The episode where Lizzie takes the blame for breaking a statue of a former principal while planning a dance even though Kate was the one who did it. She gets banned from the dance, but gradually everyone from school goes to her house and they party it out there, leaving Kate all alone at school.
5	--> '''Ethan''': Since you couldn't come to the party, the party's comin' to you!
6	* The way Gordo comforts Lizzie after her boyfriend dumps her:
7	--> '''Gordo''': There's no one prettier than you or more fun to be with… you'll get over it. Whereas that guy, he's an idiot and he's gonna feel awful for the rest of his life.
8	** Also when Gordo suddenly cut off what he was about to tell Lizzie was he was going to tell her but backed out at the last second, can be interpreted that he'd rather save telling his feelings for another time because saying it now, when she was in a vulnerable moment, would be a disrespectful act. In short, he wanted to tell her he loved her, but would rather be respectful than make the situation worse. Now that's being a true gentleman, something Ronnie never did towards Lizzie.
9	* In "Party Over Here" after overhearing a phone from Kate to her mom about her cousin Amy using Kate's birthday as an excuse to invite her(Amy's) own friends over and ruining the party in the process, Lizzie feels bad for her and offers to help her clear out the party by calling her mom even though she knows doing so means her getting grounded.
10	* In "Clue-Less" Kate telling Lizzie about Gordo's crush on her and then Lizzie deliberately guessing the wrong person in the murder-mystery so that Gordo can win and the two of them talking at the end.
11	* The episode "Bye Bye Hillridge Junior High", Lizzie learns a pretty heartwarming message from Gordo (which while ''not'' seen by the audience, Lizzie's animated subconscious makes it out to seem like he admitted his feelings to her). In the end of the episode, what does Lizzie do? [[spoiler: Kiss him as the school photo is taken]]. The [[spoiler: look]] on Gordo's face says heartwarming indeed.
12	** It gets even heartwarming that the line Gordo said, "Dear Lizzie: You rock. Don't ever change. And... I really mean it." was originally going to be something else he wrote in her yearbook. The original script found on Reddit even showed what Gordo was going to say, which leads to Lizzie kissing Gordo: (You can also interpret this as something Lizzie read after the line above, which would have been read during the Gordo and Lizzie flashback montage.)
13	-->'''Gordo''' (voice over): Dear Lizzie. \
14	We've been best friends for as long as I can remember. \
15	We've shared everything together and so I feel I should finally share this with you. \
16	I really, really like you a lot and I think you're beautiful, both inside and out. \
17	I can honestly say I wouldn't be the person I am without you and your friendship. \
18	There's nothing to be afraid of if we have each other. I will always be by your side. \
19	Your friend always, and hopefully more if you want. \
20	Gordo.
21	* In the episode "And The Winner Is" Sam and Jo have a rare day to themselves without Lizzie or Matt around. To celebrate, they start acting like kids, and it's absolutely adorable the way they have a friendly pillow fight, eat junk food, play video games, and build a sheet fort and remember [[HappilyMarried why they love each other so much.]]
22	* The episode "Magic Train" opens with Lizzie and Miranda catching an advertisement for a live show of the preschool show "Clover and Daisy's Magic Train", and it doesn't take long for the two of them to confess to each other that they still enjoy the show, and despite being ostensibly too old for the series, agree to go to the live show to make up for having missed it back when they were children. After they can't find a child to babysit, Gordo suggests that they just go regardless, just as adult fans.
23	** When they actually get to the show, they start to have regrets at first. Once the show starts, they're genuinely enjoying themselves, even singing along at various points.
24	--> '''Lizzie''': Gordo, thanks for pushing us to come.\
25	'''Miranda''': Yeah, I haven't had this much fun since...since forever.
26	** Once [[AlphaBitch Kate]] (attending the show as a chaperone for her younger cousins) finds out, she wastes no time in having the rest of Hillridge Junior High belittle Lizzie, Miranda and Gordo for enjoying a kiddie show, even going so far as to give them jars of baby food at lunch. In the end, Lizzie makes a stand, and her speech crosses over with [[Awesome/LizzieMcGuire awesome]]. She then follows it all up with leading the students (sans Kate) in singing a song about how "sometimes it's great just to be silly".
27	--> '''Lizzie''': Yes, I did see ''Clover and Daisy''. And you know what, I had a great time! I laughed, I cried, and I won an awesome gift basket. And the only bad part about it was seeing Kate there! [...] And it's not even that Kate saw me there, it's that [[SympathyForTheDevil she wasn't listening to the words of Clover and Daisy]] - "Be kind, be the special person that you are, and always share your cookies." We should listen to the message of Clover and Daisy, and I know that you all love 'em.

29	'''TheMovie'''
30	* Lizzie and Jo hugging each other at the airport. When Lizzie turns to leave, she goes back to hug her mother again.
31	* During the plane ride to Rome, Gordo wakes up to see Lizzie sleeping on his shoulder. He just smiles and goes back to sleep.
32	* [[spoiler: When Isabella leaves Lizzie to sing on stage by herself. Just the expressions of her friends and family as they see her performing.]]
33	* Even though [[spoiler: Paolo is manipulating Lizzie,]] when they go out and head to the fireworks together, it is pretty heart melting. [[spoiler: Got to hand it to Paolo's manipulation, he really seemed to like Lizzie.]]
34	* [[spoiler: Kate's HeelFaceTurn for one thing.]]
35	* [[spoiler: Gordo taking the fall for Lizzie, when Ungermyer almost finds out she has sneaking out of the hotel. Just so you know, Gordo made a promise to Lizzie that they would have adventures in Rome together, but he's willing to give up the promise so Lizzie can have her own adventure with Paolo.]] UndyingLoyalty indeed.
36	* Lizzie and Gordo's [[spoiler: BigDamnKiss in the finale. They both look so shy and happy afterwards.]]
37
38	'''Real Life'''
39	* In May 2015, Music/HilaryDuff, newly divorced from Mike Comrie, brought a blind date to an L.A. bowling alley, one that just so happened to be visited that night by Lalaine and Jake Thomas. After they discovered Hilary passing them by, they got her attention, and had what seemed to be a pleasant conversation, even exchanging e-mails and phone numbers. Though Jake and Lalaine had remained close friends in recent years, this was the first time either had seen or talked with Hilary since ''Lizzie [=McGuire=]'' ended after 14 years. The separation was not helped when, [[WordOfGod as Lalaine mentioned]], she had gone through her "dark years" which led to her meth possession arrest, which Lalaine called "like a slap in the face that (she) needed to turn (her) perspective around". Hilary, Lalaine and Jake have since stayed in touch. You can see a photo from the reunion in [[https://www.huffpost.com/entry/lizzie-mcguire-cast-reunion_n_7166900 this article here.]]
40	** Related to the above, the irony of Jake and Lalaine together in that moment also comes to mind that [[https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/285fyc/comment/ci7tpz6/?context=8&depth=9 Jake still has a crush on Lalaine even now]] as stated in that Reddit AMA.
