1* Jennifer reading the article about the real Joshua (Falken's son) and his mother dying in a car accident, as a video of the three-year-old child plays in the background.
2* David being dragged out of the war room, screaming for the military to call Professor Falken as he's very visibly panicking.
3* Professor Falken speaking to Joshua for the first time in years.
4* "Oh, Jesus! I really wanted to learn how to swim!" The moment it hits David Lightman that yes, this is real and yes, the world ''is'' about to end.
5* The sheer relief on everyone's face at the film's climax, and the computer's [[AmbiguousInnocence strangely innocent]] and poignant solution to the nuclear "game".
