| 1 | * In a complete inversion of [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey HAL 9000]], GERTY shows that he is supposed to take care of Sam. "Helping you is what I do." He even comforts him with a pat on the shoulder. |
| 2 | ** What brings it close to TearJerker territory is that GERTY is willing to wipe his memory banks to help Sam escape. He's essentially [[HeroicSacrifice killing himself for his best friend]]. |
| 3 | ** GERTY typing in the password for Sam. |
| 4 | * Sam and GERTY's last goodbyes: |
| 5 | -->'''GERTY''': I hope life on Earth is everything you remember it to be.\ |
| 6 | '''Sam''': Thanks, Gerty. Are you going to be OK?\ |
| 7 | '''GERTY''': Of course. The new Sam and I will be back to our programming as soon as I have finished rebooting.\ |
| 8 | '''Sam''': Gerty, we're not programs. We're people. Understand? |
| 9 | * The last-minute resetting of the harvester coordinates, which ends the satellite blockout: even if Sam 6 didn't make it back, Sam 7 would now have a chance to find out what's going on. |
| 10 | * Sam tearing off the "Kick Me" sign on GERTY. |
| 11 | * Original Sam was retrieved and went back home, living a peaceful life with his family, instead of being disposed like his clones. |
