- Dr. Rumack gives Ted Striker one hell of a pep talk while the latter is having a BSoD. And it works!Striker: Excuse, me, Doctor; I've got a plane to land!
- When Striker forgets to check the jet's oil pressure, resulting in the loss of one engine, McCrosky defends Striker from Rex Kramer's yelling.McCrosky: Ease up, Rex, it's not his fault! He hasn't flown in years, it could happen to anybody!
- Ted and Elaine's reconciliation at the end. What makes it even more touching is how in the beginning the dialogue implied Ted had been abusive; over the course of the movie it's revealed his real problem was letting his Survivor's Guilt ruin what was once a happy union. Now that he's moved on from it, it's clear Elaine averted Why Would Anyone Take Him Back?
