What's the trope where the strong, manly hero's best friend gets horribly wounded or sick and is on the verge of death, forcing the hero to 1) turn into Florence Nightingale complete with bedside hand-holding and brow-wiping, 2) give a moving speech while friend is unconscious, telling him how much he means and begging him not to die? It's not Manly Tears, it's this specific situation, which gets used a lot. I'm thinking something along the lines of Don't Die ET.
