* Schultz saves the barber from being lynched by a mob even before recognizing him as the man who saved his life in the war. He acknowledges this in front of the bigoted mob [[FairWeatherFriend rather than trying to hide their past association]], and orders the stormtroopers not to vandalize the barbershop again.
* Most of the scenes where Hannah and the barber flirt and talk about making a new life elsewhere.

* The entire ending speech is made of this. Not just the content of it, but its context: it was written before UsefulNotes/WorldWarII really got underway, and when the film was released (in Britain, at least), Britain stood alone against Germany in Europe's DarkestHour. What followed truly was a uniting of free peoples/democracies from all around the world, fighting for the liberty of all (most notably, including their enemies--the German and Japanese people) and a better world for all. And they succeeded. Then comes the formation of the UsefulNotes/UnitedNations and UsefulNotes/{{NATO}}, along with the UsefulNotes/ColdWar that never became WorldWarIII like it would have at any previous point in history. Today, it's far from the perfect world Creator/CharlieChaplin envisions in the speech, but for such a short span of time in a world history that never even came close in its thousands of years, today's world has come incredibly far in that dream, in a way that would probably bring a happy tear to Chaplin's eye.
