Friendship Moment: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"That's right, I stepped up! She's my friend and she needed help! If I had to, I'd pee on any one of you!"''|'''Joey''' from ''[[Friends]]'', proving what a good friend he is.}}

 

 

Often very sappy, though it doesn't have to be.

 

See also the [[Morality Pet]], [[Friend or Idol Decision]], [[A Friend in Need]]. Often takes place between [[True Companions]].

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* C-3PO in ''[[Star Wars]]'': "You can repair [R2-D2], can't you? ... Sir, if any of my circuits or gears will help, I'll gladly donate them!" Also, Han Solo coming back to help Luke Skywalker blow up the Death Star in ''A New Hope''. Without the diversion provided by the arrival of the ''Millennium Falcon'', Luke might arguably have made the shot, but not fared so well.

* Played with in ''[[Mean Girls]]'': Karen lovingly tries to catch Gretchen in the circle of trust, who had just alienated the entire school with a spectacularly ill-judged and self serving 'apology'.

* The following exchange from ''[[Tombstone]]'', when Doc Holliday breaks out into a [[Incurable Cough of Death|violent cough]] after a gunfight:

{{quote| '''Jack Johnson''': Doc, you ought to be in bed. What the hell you doin' this for, anyway?<br />

** The above is part of an infuriating Can't Spit It Out thing with Cordelia, but still...

* In ''[[Burn Notice (TV)|Burn Notice]]'', Fiona Glennane and Sam Axe are not what you'd call the tightest of friends (er, she's still not over that time he ruined one of her illegal arms deals), but in "Long Way Back", {{spoiler|Michael starts to ask Sam to finish the job and rescue Fiona if he happens to go down. Sam doesn't even let him finish before saying "oh, I'm getting Fi outta there no matter what . . . just don't tell her I said that".}}

* The ''[[Merlin (TV)|Merlin]]'' episode ''Moment of Truth''. All of it.

** The episode "The Labyrinth of Gedref". Particular the line "I had no idea you were so keen to die for me." Just the whole scene.

** Even smaller moments that show what a family both the crew and the actors had become. Mal grabbing Kaylee into a hug on a whim during "Ariel" and later gripping Kaylee's hand for just a second while walking past her on the stairs after she helped rescue him during War Stories. No other words of thanks needed.

** And offscreen there were plenty of these moments too. In [[Joss Whedon]]'s commentary on ''[[Serenity (Film)|Serenity]]'' he mentions that during the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGiCkd1kBHU&feature=related "first rule of flying" scene] (which might also qualify this trope) [[Nathan Fillion]] was anxious that he couldn't deliver the lines and keep them from sounding [[Narm|Narmy]]... and then he said later, "I turned, I looked into [[Summer Glau|those two eyes]] and that's where that speech came from." [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Awww.]]

*** At one point, Mal gives his (typical) threat of kicking Simon and River off the ship in ''Serenity''... even though at the end of ''Firefly'' he would not have done that because they were part of his crew.

*** Inara and Book leaving the ship, the crews apparent run of bad luck on jobs, and Simon [[Berserk Button|GIVING HIM ORDERS ON HIS GORRAM SHIP]] probably pushed Mal into acting more cold and distant. It seem liked he was starting to lose faith even in himself and the values (such as they are) he's been living by.
