1* Dangerous Beans facing down the Rat King, Spider.
2-->"I am not so blind that I cannot see darkness."
3* Darktan initiating the Rat Guard.
4* The fight with the terrier. Proof that Darktan has the potential to be almost as badass as Vimes.
5** A RealLife [=MoA=] for the actual rats that, historically, took the "Jacko" route out of a rat pit, thus providing inspiration for the scene.
6* Maurice ''caught the Death of Rats'' when he tried to take Dangerous Beans. Shortly followed by an awesome moment of heartwarming: Maurice, who supposedly cares for no one but himself, and certainly not for rats, gives up an extra one of his nine lives for Dangerous Beans.
7* Hamnpork going from 'old, outdated and soon to be replaced leader' to 'badass about to make a last stand'.
8* The BBC radio dramatization does simplify the story a little and gives it more of the kind of fairy-tale ending that the book deliberately avoids and [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructs]], but it contains one ''glorious'' moment in the contest between Keith and the Rat Piper, where Sardines, followed by the other rats, break into a rousing rendition of ''There's No Business Like Show Business'' -- after which Maurice steps up to the astonished audience and begins pouring on the charm and promoting the rats like the host of an infomercial.
