Tear Jerker / Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)

• The treatment of Mark, as well as the death of his frog that no one really cares about.
• Kate mentioning growing up without her only sister who passed when she was still young.
• Two moments in one. Immediately after the Exiled to the Couch moment between Kate and Tom, Jessica appears in her dressing gown and asks Tom if he and Kate are going to divorce, due to the arguing between them ever since Kate arrived home. Tom wordlessly picks her up and hugs her. Then Kate appears and reveals Mark has run away. But that's not the worst part. The worst part is Mark's note, which reads "Big families stink!!!" Shows just how unhappy and overshadowed Mark felt he was.
• Nora's relationship with Hank; Sure, he may have been a Jerkass, but there is a sad moment where Nora is finally forced to second-guess her relationship with him, when he finally admits he dreads the prospect of having children. On one end, he says this in plain view of the massive brawl going on among Nora's siblings during the filming of the Oprah segment, but then he says to her "Honey you can't want this, that's why you're with me!" After her borderline obsession with Hank, the look Nora gives him at this remark shows that she's genuinely taken aback by this and already rethinking her relationship with him. The final straw comes when he refuses to help her in finding Mark after he runs away later that night.
• The line at the end about "There are times when l want to kill Sarah...but I'd kill for her all the time." brings on the tears.
