  • Michael offering to show Faith the real Mary Slocum's diary. After she states she would kill to read it, Michael offers it to her. Faith becomes enraptured, opening the novel as tenderly as any historical artifact, gasping that she knew Mary's handwriting would be large (and implied innocent), and then reading her diary in-character as Mary. Faith had fallen in love with the real life independent Humble Heroine who defied the British army.
  • Elliot leading Michael, Gretchen, Stanley, Leslie and his wife in a round of the silly pub song "Knees Up, Mother Brown!", before relating a story about his family singing that song shortly after his town had been wrecked during the bombing in World War II feeling just lucky to be alive. He then states that they stopped when around the corner walked none other than Winston Churchill. They were dumbstruck with awe... til Churchill started singing "Knees Up, Mother Brown!" himself! It's not indicated whether Elliot was telling the truth or just joking, but the group shows true camaraderie by re-joining him in singing it too.
  • When the cast and crew leave, apparently everybody from the production made good friends with someone from the town, because there's a lot of joyous and heartfelt goodbyes as the buses leave. Also, while it's extremely unlikely in Real Life, #4 box office star in the world Elliot James is riding back to the airport with the rest of the crew.
