History TearJerker / Hulk

* After Betty tells him about her dream, Bruce says he'd never hurt her, but Betty only sighs sadly. However, the novelization goes further—extending the scene and making it more tragic—as it leads to Betty and Bruce arguing about his emotional detachment and its effect on their relationship. It ends with Bruce leaving Betty's cabin and returning hours later—meanwhile, Betty has reapplied her makeup after crying and drying her tears. Then they spend the night together, Betty in the bedroom and Bruce on the couch. Late that night, Betty weeps into her pillow, not caring if Bruce can hear her or not, causing her to wonder if that's making her more like him.
** Even worse? When he turns back to Bruce after he saves her from the dogs, he nearly strangles her in a rageful trance, as if she were reliving her dream.

** Bruce's memories about his mother, who also had brown hair and brown eyes; they give him ManlyTears too.

-->'''Bruce:''' Hey, I'm just grateful we got the chance...to say good-bye.

-->'''David:''' [[SuddenlyShouting Stop]] what?! Stop what?! [[HumansAreBastards Think about all those men out there, in their uniforms! Barking and swallowing orders! Inflicting their petty rule over the entire globe!]] Think of all the harm they've done! To you! To me! To humanity! And know this, that [[StoryboardingTheApocalypse we can make them and their flags and their anthems and their governments disappear! In a flash!]] [[WeCanRuleTogether You and me!]]
-->'''Bruce:''' I'd rather die!
-->'''David:''' Oh, that's your answer. And indeed, you shall die. And be reborn... a hero! Of the kind that walked Earth long before the pale religions of civilization infected humanity's soul!
-->'''Bruce:''' '''''[[GetOut GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!]]'''''

* Bruce, suffering from his anger and the nanomeds, is worthy of many tears.

* After Bruce survives the blast of gamma radiation, Betty worries that he would've died like everything else the nanomeds touched and that she would've had to watch him die.

* David confesses to Betty that he deeply regrets the death of his wife, Edith. The entire scene is a tearjerker thanks to Music/DannyElfman's score and the imagery accompanying Creator/NickNolte's voice.

* Seeing Betty on the stairs makes Hulk's eyes well up with tears. After she calms him enough to make him revert to Bruce, they have the following exchange before embracing each other tightly, with Betty moved to tears.

* Despite them being antagonists, you can't help but feel sorry for David's dogs that he mutated into gamma irridiated dogs and they're inevitable fate when the hulk kills them when they're sent after to kill Betty.
Any animal lover wouldn't watch this scene without crying.
* Bruce suffering from the nano-meds and his anger are worthy of many tears.
* David's BeardOfSorrow, all because he was in prison for thirty years without seeing his son.

* This exchange between Bruce and David:

* Bruce's memories about his mother, who had brown hair and brown eyes. It gives him ManlyTears, as well.
* David yelling in sadness in front of his son about the military, perfectly demonstrating how deep (or ''deeper'', given he had gone off the deep end early on in the film) into madness he had fallen:

-->'''David:''' Oh, that's your answer. And indeed you shall die. And be reborn... a hero! Of the kind that walked Earth long before the pale religions of civilization infected humanity's soul!

* David's final moments in life are quite sad when he wanted to give back the energy to Bruce because it was too much for him to handle and it results in his death.
** After it's all over and Bruce is floating half-conscious in the lake, we're treated to a final {{flashback}} of a younger David tucking a young Bruce into bed, [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead kissing him on the head]], and affectionately bidding him "Sweet dreams."

-->'''David:''' Fear? Perhaps, Miss Ross. And loneliness, too. Yes... I feel them both. But I have lived... completely once. I was so much in love, and she so much wanted a baby. My baby. I could tell from the moment she conceived that it wasn't a son I had given her but something else. A monster, maybe. I should have put a stop to it right then, but I was curious and that was my downfall. And as I watched this tiny life unfold, I began to imagine the horror of it and my curiosity was replaced with compassion. But they took away my chance to cure him. Your father threw me out. I remember that day so well, every moment, every sensation, walking into the house, the feeling of the handle of the knife in my hand. I knew I was doing a father's work, fulfilling a father's mercy. But then, she surprised me. It was as if she and the knife merged. You cannot imagine the unbearable finality of it. And in that one moment, I took everything that was dear to me and transformed it into nothing more than a memory.
