* Heartwarming, Awesome, ''and'' thought-provoking:
-->'''Nate Sr.''': You can do anything, you lucky bastard, you're alive! What's a little pain compared to that?\\
'''David''': It can't be that simple.\\
'''Nate Sr.''': What if it is?
* When Nate Jr. comforts a woman, grieving her aunt who was the only person to ever love her.

* Ruth at the self-help seminar: "And fuck you Robbie for dragging me to this terrible place and not letting me have a Snickers bar!"

* The last scene, which cuts between Claire driving off to New York City and flash-forwards of all of the deaths of the surviving main characters. It's surprisingly heartwarming while being crushingly heartbreaking in context. The brilliance of how those two things were blended and the way it highlights the entire series' overarching theme of death (of self and others) being a part of life is a large part of the reason the finale is one of the most acclaimed in the television of the early 21st century. For nothing else seems to matter as long as Claire keeps driving down that endless road...
