3!! Film
4* The scene with the young Dastan protecting Bis from the guard who tried to beat him within an inch of his life.
5** Followed by the King deciding to adopt Dastan for his bravery essentially on the spot after having seen the whole escapade.
6*** And Dastan taking Bis with him (to an extent) to share that new life by getting him a prestigious army position.
7* The King deciding to honor Dastan and arranging his marriage to Tamina instead of Tus doubles as a MomentOfAwesome when you realize that one way or another, Tamina and Dastan would've ended up together.
8* Dastan faces Tus (who is convinced that Dastan conspires to take the throne) and explains the power of the Dagger of Time. Dastan then ''kills himself'' with it, trusting that Tus will believe him and use the Dagger to undo his death. He does.
9--> '''Tus''': (''dumbfounded'') How did you know I'd use it?
10--> '''Dastan''': Because we're brothers.
11* Dastan and Tamina's BigDamnKiss once they've reached the sandglass. [[FromBadToWorse Sadly,]] [[TearJerker it couldn't have happened at a worse time]].
12* Watching Dastan and his brothers together again after Dastan unknowingly hit the ResetButton and everything had been turned back to before everyone died. Changing things for the better.
13* Also, how even while believing Dastan killed their father, neither Garsiv or Tus dismiss him as their brother or "street trash". Instead, they both seem conflicted at his betrayal and end up believing him once he explains.
14--> '''Tus:''' ''(on Dastan)'' [[HappilyAdopted Royal blood or not, he is every bit a son to our father, every bit a brother to Garsiv and me.]] The true [[TitleDrop prince of Persia]].
15* In the end, Dastan and Tamina are again shoehorned into an ArrangedMarriage, only this time both are a bit more receptive to the idea.
16** The best part? Tus is the one who suggests it this time around instead of their father.
17** Garsiv actually shoves Dastan into the arrangement.
18---> '''Garsiv''': Get up there, before I take your place.
19** Dastan's reaction to the proposal this time around.
20---> '''Dastan''': It's a customary to accompany a proposal with gifts [[{{Adorkable}} but uh, I was surprised and alas I'm unprepared]]. I have nothing for you, save (''pulls out the Dagger and presents it to a shocked Tamina'') that which is already yours.
21** After Dastan says that he looks forward to the day that they know each other better, he extends his hand out to her, and you can see Tamina smiling as she takes his hand. This shows that she's already warming up to Dastan.
22* The very fact that those who have died on this whole adventure (the ones we like at least) are alive now that the ResetButton was hit.
23** The ending with the shots in the desert soon after, especially with the theme music playing.
24* Tus giving Dastan a present to award to their father when he didn't have one. Initially it looks as if he was doing it to frame him for murder, but it really was in fact an innocent, brotherly gesture.
25* Seso's [[IOweYouMyLife gratitude towards Dastan for saving him]].
