Line 8:

* [[Gilbert and Sullivan]]'s ''Yeomen of the Guard'' ends with one happy couple {{spoiler|and poor Jack Point realizing his love is well and truly lost to him.}}

* ''[[Seventeen Seventy Six|1776]]'' ends with the Continental Congress signing the Declaration of Independence-with the knowledge that they have a long, arduous war that they have little chance of winning to look forward to, considering their army is a shambles and the British Navy was the greatest in the world. Hindsight tells us they'll win eventually (since it ''is'' based of history), but ''they'' don't know that.
