Tear Jerker / K-PAX

Go To

  • Robert's backstory. In the film prot's complete breakdown as Mark forces him to relive the murder of his family and his killing of their murderer before trying to kill himself.
  • prot reflecting as he prepares to leave that he is never missed when he leaves K-PAX, but he senses he will be missed when he leaves Earth. Mark all but begs him to stay, clearly not just as a shrink worried what he'll do when the time comes but as a friend who doesn't want to see him go. prot slowly responds a moment later with "I will miss you, Dr. Powell."
  • Bess. She's been in the hospital ever since her family's house burned down, killing everyone but her. She hasn't spoken a word to anyone since it happened. Her essay to prot is called "I have no home" and it details what she was feeling when it happened.
