* When Duane starts opening up to Dave after being a cold security officer up till then. And it's through a mere discussion of outfitting. "You think a sweater vest would look good on me?"
* Later in that conversation, Dave voices the sobering fact that since he's impersonating the President, if necessary, Duane would have to take a bullet for him. Duane stiffly agrees, but the moment gets a very touching CallBack at the end:
--> '''Duane''': "Dave. . .I would have taken a bullet for you."
** By now, it's clear that he would have done so not just because it's his job, but because he genuinely liked and admired him.
* Dave and the first lady falling in love.
* In his speech to Congress, Dave makes it clear Vice President Nance was not involved in the various scandals and puts him over as a good and decent man. He apologizes to Nance and shakes his hand as Congress applauds.
