Daria/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

* In "Boxing Daria," when Daria and Jane meet in the diner. Actually, most of the end of Boxing Daria.

** {{spoiler|"It occurs to me that I wasn't the easiest child in the world to raise, and perhaps I'm quite lucky to have you for parents."}}

* ''[[Daria]]'' in "Gifted." When she has her conversation with Jodie who confesses her chafing at being "[[Positive Discrimination|Queen of]] [[Token Minority|the Negroes]]" at school and wishing to be more like Daria and her [[The Snark Knight|fearless candor]]. At that Daria confesses that she occasionally wishes she could be more like Jodie and when Jodie is flattered by that statement, you see Daria respond "I'm not saying all the time," with that small smile that she grants only to the people who deserve it.

* In "I Loathe A Parade" Jodie gets fed up with the hypocrisy of her and Mack [[Positive Discrimination|being elected Homecoming King and Queen every year]], as well as how humiliating she finds standing on a float in a poofy dress waving to the crowd. Just as she and Mack decide they're sick of playing along with the charade, she sees a young black girl in the crowd waving and looking at her with shining, hopeful eyes. She smiles and promptly stands up again to keep waving.

'''Jodie:''' Oh what the hell. We may be tokens, but we're damn good looking ones. }}

** When Quinn asks Daria to make the test easy because she doesn't want her friends to hate her, Daria says: "Why should you go out of your way to protect the stupid? ''You're'' not one of them."

* In "Write Where It Hurts," Daria's is supposed to write a story about people she knows but can't come up with anything good. After an earlier argument, her mother notes that Daria often hides her feelings from everyone and advises her to write a scenario the way she would ''like'' it to play out, as opposed to her usual combination of sarcasm and [[Brutal Honesty]]. The story is a fluffy little piece about the family, set in the future when everybody is successful, happy and more well-adjusted.

* Daria goes on a road trip to a concert with Trent. There's an entire scene where they sit by the road and she listens to him play the guitar while bonding with him. She reassures him that he should continue being a musician, and he makes her give one of the biggest smiles in the series thusfar.

* In the episode "See Jane Run", Jane joins the track team to prove a point to the gym teacher, and get close to a cute guy she likes. During the episode Jane and Daria grow further apart, culminating in a confrontation near the end. However, when the same cute guy calls Daria a loser, the first thing Jane does is quit the track team. She knows who her real friends are.

'''Helen:''' Oh don't worry about that! [[Blatant Lies|It's completely under control.]] ''<smiles>''<br />

'''Daria:''' ''<smiles>'' }}
