Go To

1* Half of the movie consists of this, both the parallels between "The Diary of Adam and Eve" and the longing Twain feels for his lost wife, and the ending implication of a budding crush between Tom and Becky.
2* It doubles as a TearJerker, but the ending to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dazE7r0JbF0 The Diary of Adam and Eve]] counts as this. The titular couple have lost Paradise, but in doing this, they've instead been given the ability to love and grow. In their old age, Adam and Eve ponder the journey that has brought them to this point, and consider themselves to have gained far more than they lost after eating the apple.
3-->'''Eve:''' The Garden is lost, but I have found him... and am content.\
4'''Adam:''' Wherever she was, there was Eden.
5* Mark Twain merging with his dark side, and then ascending to whatever awaits him in the hereafter, rejoining his beloved Livy.
6* Twain's final words as he departs, fully whole, with Halley's Comet:
7-->'''Twain:''' (''as his face becomes one with the comet's tail'') The human race, in all its poverty, has only one truly effective weapon: laughter. Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand. (''Twain's comet face smiles'')
8* Finally, Tom gives Becky the heart-shaped leaf from Eden that Adam preserved for Eve.
