* Although the scene is a tearjerker, the scene when Henry bullies Richie for reason. He thinks Richie is making advances on his cousin and tries to protect his cousin. Other than giving Bill a free pass from his bullying due to Georgie going missing in the first film, this is the only other human being Henry shows any compassion to.

** Examples include Eddie remembering how he patched up Ben's wound on the first day the Losers met him, Eddie and Richie arm-wrestling, and Richie and Beverly seemingly going in for a romantic kiss... before Beverly shoves food into his open mouth, much to the group's laughter.
** The music playing during that scene, aptly entitled "Losers Reunited," helps a lot, too. It perfectly captures the feeling of seeing your best friends after being away from each other for so long, and yet, still being able to laugh and joke around as if no time had passed at all.
* After dinner, when Mike begins to tell the Losers the real reason why he brought them back together, the others repeatedly cut him off [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere with their objections]]. Despite his own fear, [[NiceGuy Ben]] shushes them every time, insisting that they hear Mike out first and let him speak.
* During the chaos of having Pennywise appear in the Chinese restaurant in the form of the demonic fortune cookies, Eddie is visibly panicking and cowering in the corner. Instead of giving him shit about it, considering they're all adults now instead of pre-teen kids, Ben takes it upon himself to hold onto Eddie and shield him while Mike tries to smash the monsters to bits. The extra heartwarming bit? Ben is obviously just as unnerved as all of them, but he keeps enough presence of mind about to keep shoving Eddie behind him, arms extended and ready to bat the monsters away should they come near him and one of his best friends.
** If one listens closely, you can hear Richie calling for Eddie all the way across the room, and whenever the camera cuts back to him, he's got am extremely worried expression on his face, the only thing stopping him from running over to Eddie being the monsters attacking them. OneTrueLove, indeed.

Added DiffLines:

** When Young!Stan voices his worry about whether or not the Losers will still be friends as grown-ups, Bill comforts him by saying this:
-->'''Bill:''' [[TrueCompanions We'll always still be friends. I don't ... I don't think that just g-g-goes away because we get older.]]
** It cuts back to the older Losers reminiscing about Stan. Although it's tinged with sadness, that little conversation showcases just how much the Losers really cared for Stan.
-->'''Ben:''' ''(smiling softly)'' He was old before his time.
-->'''Eddie:''' Yeah. I wonder what he was like all grown up.
-->'''Richie:''' Probably what he was like when he was a kid: the best.

* While it’s intended to be a [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments funny moment]], the scene where Eddie says ''[[FreudianSlip I love you, mommy]]'' to his wife is actually quite charming to hear, especially since the last time we saw Eddie with his mother was when he disowned her for lying to him about being sick. It really goes to show that, even after the lies, he still loves Sonia Kaspbrak a lot.

** The music played over the quarry scene leading to the mirror scene mentioned above is entitled ''Nothing Lasts Forever,'' and re-uses some of the themes from the first film, notably ''Beverly'' and ''Blood Oath.'' It gives the viewer a sense of longing for the good old days, for the time when the Losers were still together, but at the same time, you also get the feeling that all five of them - no matter what happens - are ready to start moving forward and face whatever else life has to offer, especially now that they've got each other in their lives again.

* The Losers’ Club reunion. They don’t really remember being friends or why they’re all together again, but in the span of just a few hours, they fall back quite easily into the rhythm of having fun and laughing together, just like they were kids.

* A brief flashback scene shows all the Losers piling into a photo booth to take silly pictures together, in one of the few instances where we see them getting to just have fun and act like normal kids. Twenty-seven years later, it's shown that Mike still has the strip of photos and uses it as the bookmark for the journal he'd been using to keep tabs on any Pennywise-related incidents. It's not too far of a stretch to think that every time he felt like giving up, he'd only have to take one look at his friends' goofy faces and gain strength all over again.

* When Bill encounters Dean after his experience with IT, he actively warns the kid to move out of Derry as soon as possible after the kid says he’s been hearing voices in the tub and even pulls him away from the open sewer hole where Georgie died immediately after seeing him. Even after 27 years, Bill still kept his big brother mentality and is willing to help any other kid struggling with IT. [[TearJerker Unfortunately it doesn’t end well for either of them]].

* Richie giving Eddie a [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre pep talk]] after the latter thinks he's too weak to go down into IT's lair with them, seeing as he'd frozen up in the kitchen earlier, which almost resulted in Richie dying. Despite this fact, Richie still takes the time to firmly, yet gently tell Eddie that he isn't TheLoad, that it's perfectly fine to feel scared, and even manages to get a jibe in on Eddie's wife while he's at it. Classic Richie Tozier indeed.
* Beverly handing Eddie the same iron fence post she'd used to stab Pennywise 27 years ago in order to boost his courage, followed by her reassuring him in the softest, gentlest tone she can muster. The following exchange solidifies the trope further:

** Eddie, who had reached shore first, is left alone after the others go back to save Beverly. He's clearly unnerved with every passing second, repeatedly muttering that he just wants to go home, that he's scared, but as soon as they resurface, Eddie visibly breathes a huge sigh of relief, muttering "Oh, thank God!" under his breath when he sees they're all okay.

And among them are Eddie and Stan, giving their final farewell. The movie really stressed the beauty that their childhoods and their friendship really were.
