* Peter, [[RageBreakingPoint finally unleashing his rage on the Blank!Shane Hawkins.]] He's literally screaming through tears from the all the abuse he suffered from Shane in high school. Considering that Shane at one point punched him so hard he dislodged an eyeball, it is no wonder he hates him so much. Yet this ultimately leads to him getting surrounded and Blanked!

* Although it's mostly played for laughs in the movie, Gary saying "[...] and knowing in my heart, life would never feel this good again. And you know what? It never did." at the end of his monologue to the support group is actually pretty sad.

* The moment when Gary puts Sam in her car and tells her to drive away. He tells her that Steven is a better person than him, whereupon she softly answers that he's not a bad person but just not boyfriend material. She's actually right and Gary seems to know that too, and the hurt look on his face when she says that is ''heartbreaking''.

* A more subtle one when Gary follows Sam into the ladies' toilet, thinking she gave him the "sign". She asks him in bewilderment "What happened, Gary?" and Gary first misses completely the point, thinking she is referring to the disabled toilet. But then she asks [[AmorPiercingQuestion "No, what happened to you?"]] and Gary's face expression immediately changes from excited to desolated, while he claims that nothing happened and that he is "the same old Gary".

** While his facade remains pretty much intact until "The Cross Hands", this is one of the few times it slips, probably because Gary didn't expect at all that someone would still be able to see through him, which is also pretty common in depression.

* Right after Gary gave Peter's name to the police officer, Andy angrily asks him "Do you know how much trouble you could get into?" whereupon Gary bitterly answers "Do you know how much trouble I'm already in?". The first time you watch the movie this short conversation will probably go past you without much effect but when you watch it the second time knowing that he probably refers to [[spoiler: his suicide attempt]] it can truly become tear-jerking, especially since his almost resigned tone indicates that he is perfectly aware of his problems and has already given up, supporting the theory that Gary [[spoiler: plans to finally commit suicide]] after the pub crawl.

* From Andy's tone of voice in the Kings Head, when he's trying to get Gary to put the pint down, he seems to have realised that Gary may have a more underlying problem than just wanting to finish the crawl. He starts talking him down, much in the same way you talk someone down from suicide, and on rewatch that can be very chilling. Especially as Gary has tears in his eyes.

** The reoccurring theme of Gary trying to deal with pain through alcohol comes into play here, In his own manic way, he tries to comfort Pete with shots. He just doesn't properly know how to react to emotions anymore.



* The film's use of ''So Young'' by Music/{{Suede}} is this if you see this as Gary deluding himself into thinking he can recapture his lost youth.
