Tear Jerker / Home (2015)

Go To

  • Tip watching a video of herself and her mom twice, once in her room before leaving, and again when Oh leaves her in Slushcious to swim in the ocean.
    • And the conversation between her and Oh that follows that second scene.
    • Pig rushing inside at the sound of Lucy's voice, only for Tip to console the cat that it's just a video, makes the first instance all the more touching. Tip's plainly being strong for Pig because it helps her stay strong herself.
  • The reunion between Tip and Lucy.
    • Before that, Tip fruitlessly searches through the hundreds of resettled humans for Lucy, becoming more and more discouraged. She shows a few people a picture of her mom on her cellphone, but none of them recognize her ... and then the phone's battery dies. Eventually, she gives up, and sits in the empty "Ask a Boov" booth, utterly broken. Jennifer Lopez's Feel the Light playing during the whole ordeal only makes it even more poignant.
    • She may be a brave girl, but she's still just a kid who's looking for her mom.
  • Tip thinking that Oh got crushed under the Gorg mothership, not to mention the stiff upper lip smile Oh had when he was looking at Tip moments before. Thankfully he wasn't.
  • Oh becoming utterly crushed when not a single Boov came to his housewarming party.
  • Oh admitting to Tip that he knows what his name means and that he doesn't have any friends.
  • Lucy desperately pleading with a Boov to help her find her daughter. At this point, she barely even cares about the invasion or the fact that a new race now rules the Earth. She just wants to see her little girl again.
  • Oh trying to convince Tip to escape Earth with him before the Gorg arrive, and her refusing to go with him. Oh's plan probably wouldn't have worked out - the other Boov don't care about humans, and probably would've erased both of them - but that's not why Tip is mad. She accuses Oh of breaking his promise again to help her find her mom.
    Tip: No, you're just running away! You don't leave your family. But you can't understand that, because you're just a Boov. You've never been my friend.
