1 | * The entire first train run on the John Galt Line. |
2 | * When the villains are torturing John Galt, the machine they're using breaks down and he ''calmly tells them how to fix it''. |
3 | * Galt giving a clever {{Deconstruction}} of the old cliché of the villain (Dr. Ferris in this case) who threatens to kill innocent people unless the hero does X--and then challenging the hero with "Could you live with being responsible for their deaths?" Instead of falling for it, Galt tells him to take a ''good'' look in the mirror, and ask himself "whether ''his'' actions are ''my'' responsibility". |
4 | * Rearden's decision not to enter a plea and simply state that he doesn't recognize the court's authority to try him, followed by a harsh punishment... which is suspended entirely. |
5 | * James Taggart's [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama You-didn't-build-that]] Speech is the most awesome thing Ayn Rand ever wrote... because it proves she was either psychic or had deductive skills to rival Franchise/SherlockHolmes. |
6 | * Hank Rearden's response to his fellow businessmen who are actually ''upset'' about his SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome during his trial: |
7 | -->'''Hank:''' I am sorry, gentlemen, that I will be obliged to save your goddamn necks along with mine. |
8 | * Dagny's speech on the radio where she proudly declares herself Hank Rearden's mistress and snatches what the looters thought would be a great advantage right of out their grasp. |
9 | * Hank Rearden signing the Gift Certificate to protect Dagny. |
10 | * Francisco, despite the necessity of maintaining his cover as a useless loafer, is unable to stop himself from bolting into action to save Rearden's furnace when there's an accident at the mills. |
11 | ** Later on, his making like a total Western badass (which Rearden {{Lampshade Hang|ing}}s) during the faux-union riot. |
12 | * Wyatt's Torch. |
