Tear Jerker / I Dream of Jeannie

Go To

  • Jeannie when she finds out she can't be an actress due to not being able to be caught on film.
  • On a similar note, her breakdown after thinking that her wedding with Tony will be ruined as photographers want to take pictures of them at the wedding.
  • Tony's advice to Jeannie on how to talk and act in the time period could be seen as helpful, but her reaction to it was heartbreaking
    Jeannie: So other than the way I act, talk and dress, I am perfect?
  • When Tony accidently drives Jeannie away and she returns to Persia (and because of all the chaos Tony and Roger are sent to the Aleutians for three weeks), Tony reads in the paper of Jeannie's royal wedding. She's not really getting married as she's still in love with Tony, but his words are still heartbreaking.
    Tony: Rog... Jeannie's getting married.
    Roger: What's the matter with that? You said you never wanted to see her again anyway.
    Tony: And you believed me?! I haven't been able to get her out of my thoughts since we've been here; three whole weeks! I dream of her every night... (Roger looks at him solemnly) I'm in love with her.
