Patch Adams/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • When Patch and his girlfriend kiss and he asks her if they're a couple now or just friends who like kissing. And when she's killed by a patient and he has an Heroic BSOD.
  • The moment when Patch stands on a cliff alone, contemplating suicide, ranting angrily at God:

Patch: Yeah, I could do it. We both know you wouldn't stop me. So answer me, please. Tell me what you're doing. Okay, let's look at the logic. You create man. Man suffers enormous amounts of pain. Man dies. Maybe you should have had just a few more brainstorming sessions prior to creation. You rested on the seventh day. Maybe you should've spent that day on compassion. (looks down over cliff again) You know what? You're not worth it.
