Tear Jerker / Good Omens

In a book full of things that will make you laugh, there are still one or two moments that make you pause...

Examples

• "I never used to dream, when I was a kid."
• Adam very nearly bringing on The End of the World as We Know It, and the rest of the Them's utter terror. It's then that you're reminded that these are just kids we're talking about here. Being friends with (or actually being) The Antichrist is way more than any eleven year old should have to deal with. Thank God The Power of Love and The Power of Friendship pull him back.
  "No, I didn't mean it—you're my friends..."
• The delivery man sending a message to his wife just before he kills himself so he can meet Death and deliver his package: I love you.
• Crowley, badass, mind-over-matter Crowley, finding out that Hell knows he's betrayed them.
  "Crowley...we will win this war, but even if we lose, at least as far as you are concerned, it will make no difference at all. For as long as there is one demon left in Hell, Crowley, you will wish you had been created mortal. Mortals can hope for death, or for redemption. You can hope for nothing. All you can hope for is the mercy of Hell."
  ....
  Crowley turned off the radio and bit his lower lip. Beneath the ash and soot that flaked his face, he looked very tired, and very pale, and very scared.
  • On a related note, Crowley panics at song lyrics, something that could very well be a sign of trauma.
    ... Bee-elzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me...
    "For me," murmured Crowley. His expression went blank for a moment. Then he gave a strangled scream and wrenched the on-off knob.
    • Given Hell's habit of interrupting whatever he's listening to or watching at the moment to convey messages, including at one instance, Queen too, no wonder he's panicking, especially when the lyrics are so apropos.
• Crowley running into a burning building without hesitation, shouting for Aziraphale, who he thinks is inside, and panicking when he can't find him.
  "For Go- for Sa- for somebody's sake! Aziraphale!"
