* After reading about how Max has tried to cry (emotionally) without success, Mary bottles her own tears and sends them to him so he can experience it.
* After Mary tells Max about how she feels like such a fool for spending her savings on removing the birthmark on her forehead, as she still had self-esteem issues, Max reads the letter on the bus-stop bench. A little kid offers him some candy, which he gladly takes and offers [[ValuesDissonance a chocolate cigarette]] in exchange, [[NotWhatItLooksLike earning a dirty look and telling off from the kid's mother]]. But then he looks at what's written on the candy heart - "[[BeYourself Love Yourself First]]". Cue IdeaBulb.
* After Max won the lottery, he does most of the things he ever wanted to do in life. Buy a lifetime supply of chocolate and also bought the entire collection of Noblet figurines. Afterwards, for her continued friendship and always being nice to him, he gives a share of his winnings to his elderly neighbor Ivy. While the use of the money led to her untimely demise, she at least spent the last of her days happy. A Bonus is that she left the last of her fortunes to a cat shelter, though that ended up getting stolen by a crook.
* Len overcoming his fear of being outside just to make sure Mary got her package from Max okay. Unbeknownst to Len, however, he just saved the person he watch grow up and more importantly, shown nothing but kindness to him, from committing suicide.
* Max's final (on-screen) letter to Mary, forgiving her and pulling her out of her depression.
* The final scene in the movie, with a bit of foreshadowing earlier. Max had ironed, pressed, and laminated all of Mary's letters, presumably to keep "in a special place". When Mary comes to visit, Max had died that morning, staring at the ceiling [[GoOutWithASmile with a contented smile frozen on his face]]. She looks around the apartment, seeing some of the gifts she'd sent before looking at the ceiling herself, which is '''covered''' with all of the letters she'd sent him over their 20+ year correspondence. Couples with tearjerker, but that's a devoted friend. And all set to [[https://youtu.be/0f1k14GQmNE the Humming Chorus]] from ''Theatre/MadameButterfly''.
-->'''Max:''' You are my ''best'' friend. You are my ''only'' friend.
* The ending quote from Ethel Watts Mumford; "God gave us our relatives: Thank God we can choose our friends."
