Tear Jerker / Battle of the Sexes

Go To

  • Larry (Billie's husband) discovering Marilyn's pink bra in Billie's hotel room when he visits, he can quickly deduce that this bra isn't Billie's at all and wordlessly figures out that his wife is having an affair and it's with another woman.
  • Priscilla telling Bobby they need to separate. She tells him how much she loves him but she needs a husband who is more stable in behavior and he is not providing that. You can tell both their hearts are breaking in that moment.
  • Just after winning the tournament and after dealing with relationship drama and working hard at the job just so she can prove that all women are as good at anything as men can be, Billie Jean takes a private moment in the dressing room and cries. Any viewer dealing with multiple stresses and anxieties and especially closeted viewers can relate.
