Coupling/Heartwarming

• This moment did it for this troper: Sally, having been panicking over her recent declaration of love for Patrick, is told by him how great she is (which she had been discussing before with her friends as the worst kind of rejection), and he tells her, "I wanna see you with the best. You need Mister Amazing. Mister Incredibly Superbly Fantastic... ness. In your heart, I'm sure you know I'm right." At which point:

Sally: I don't want Mister Superbly Incredibly Fantasticness, you stupid, stupid ass. I want you.
Patrick: For God's sake, Sally...
Sally: ... What? What?!
Patrick: I was talking about me.

• • Don't forget the final scene of the programme, when Susan had the baby, and Steve just stares at it, confused that he's not feeling anything warm or paternal towards it. Then he notices that the light is very bright and "So I shaded his eyes. And then... and then he looked at me. And oh my goodness me. I became someone else entirely."
