* The Cambodian soldier who makes friendly banter with Pran and Schanberg while escorting them early on in the film, and is gifted a Mercedes hood ornament by them. Later in the film, it is revealed that he defected to the Khmer Rouge, but surreptitiously frees the tortured Pran and spares him from execution, showing that he still remembered their earlier friendly interactions.
-->"Mercedes number one!"
* Admit it, when Sydney finally arrives at the refugee camp and meets Pran, and the two men hug while [[Music/JohnLennon "Imagine"]] plays, it's a definitive example of this trope, even if you don't like the song.
* This is self explanatory:
-->'''Sydney Schanberg:''' Do you forgive me?
-->'''Dith Pran:''' Nothing to forgive, Sydney. Nothing to forgive.
