Favorite moment in the movie?

Hey all! I've got a question that's been on my mind. What's your guy's favorite moment in the movie? I'm not talking about scene or song, I mean just a brief moment where something happens.

Mine's the moment after Nathan finishes "Thankless Job". During the song he was torturing the poor soul in the restraints, both physically and mentally, and then at the end of the song he even goes as far to use the corpse as a puppet. Then comes the moment that I love. Nathan stops suddenly and looks at what he's doing, and he get's this, "My God, what's happened to me?" look on his face. I just love how he suddenly registers that he's become some sort of a monster.

So, how about you guys? Favorite moments? Anyone? Anyone?

My favorite moment, though there are many, is probably after Zydrate Anatomy, when Graverobber and Shilo ride on the back of the garbage truck to the graveyard. When Shilo reaches the door to her mother's tomb, Graverobber kisses his hand and gives a little bow-like flourish. Totally hot.

Probably Luigi and Pavi's reactions when they learn Rotti's leaving GeneCo. to Shilo. Priceless.

All of it?!
Oh, yes...
Oh, no!

Inopportune Telephone Call/GraveRobber and Shilo Escape

I hold a PhD in horribleness.

Probably the beginning of 21 Century Cure, when Shilo enters the cemetery and Graverobber stands up in the background...the way he looks and stands is so awesome, and says so much about his character.

I have more, but that's what came to my mind at the moment.

This is probably too obvious, but my favorite moment is when Shilo jumps off the Geneco van and the Graverobber kisses his hand to her and does that flamboyant little bow.

During "Genetic Emancipation" Shilo walking up the aisle way and looks back for a brief moment with the spotlight on her. I thought that was a cool moment.

When Paris's face fell off, that made my day.

When Grave Robber screams "GRAVES" and gets the guards attention... just made me and my best friend laugh! He does it again later, when they are in the body dump and then again whilst running away.

Another one, later in the movie, while Amber Sweet in high on Zydrate he whistles a Blind Mag song then blames it on Shilo!

Such an @$$! But it's in an awesome way... now whenever my friend and I see a co-worker doing something they shouldn't be doing... we run up to them screaming, "GRAVES!" so that unwanted attention is suddenly shun on them... it's great fun.

"Everybody's A Composer" and "Come Back!" are probably my two favorite bits of the movie, and the whole opera climax!

Because you were home.

Amber Sweet's face falling off was AWESOME!

There's a lot, there's a beautiful look that Nathan has on his face in Legal Assasin during the line 'Look what I've become'... he just looks numb with sorrow and it just amazes me

There's also a look Blind Mag has during Chromaggia during the little instrumental bit, I don't know how to describe it but it's just when she looks around at the audience and you can tell then and there what she's decided to do (I'm not saying in the event of being spoilery)

Paris licking Luigi's face in Mark it Up also was grea, said so much about her character

Oh and Shilo at the end, made me cry she was so distraught I loved it

If you have a problem with what I say, learn the meaning of a joke and shut up

The Inopportune Telephone Call was a really funny moment with one of the coolest songs!

I don't really have one favorite moment, but Anthony Stewart Head as a whole. His acting is genius throughout the whole movie. He has this amazing ability to snap between Nathan Wallace and The Repo Man because they truly are two completely different characters.

I would agree with the originial poster that my favorite part would have to be the end of "Thankless Job" but I actually disagree about the "realization that he's a monster part". If you listen closely, when he uses the body as a puppet as his "echo" in the song he uses a high pitched voice but the very last lyric isn't just his voice, but the high echo voice sings at the same time. The look on his face is him realizing that that was completely impossible. Still definitely my favorite

It's hard to choose, and I'll probably change my mind after seeing it a few more times.

I'd have to go with the horrified reaction on Nathan's face when he realizes Blind Mag is dead, and Shiloh asking, "Is this how you'd protect me? Is it?"

Also the phone call scene when father/daughter are both doing things they shouldn't be doing.
