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?

I have to say mostly anything involving Terrance as GraveRobber. Specifically when he and Shilo are running into the street and have to dodge the truck his "whoa" is so cute and then when he is sitting in the truck after Shilo gets out and he does his little bow to her. Oh, and in "Come Up and Try My New Parts" (deleted scene on blue ray Youtube)when Amber finally gets what she wants... his face makes my insides go all fuzzy, lol. He's an amazing actor and performer... he needs to do more leading work. Oh, and the way that he sings "love market" in Zydrate Anatomy... *sigh*.

I like the part just before Rotti introduces Shilo to Mag; and Lugi, Pavi, and Amber are arguing

For some reason, the one part that just makes me giggle everytime I see it is in Luigi's line in the song "Mark It Up"

"I'm the smartest, and the toughest. I will find a hole and fvck it!"

Just the little goofy dance he does, and just the line itself cracks me up.

I have no idea what to put here...

Most of my favorites have already been mentioned but there are 3 more moments i realy liked.

- The scene where Nathan kills the 2 soldiers in his home. I love how vicious and efficient he is during combat.

-The part where Luigi yells "I will shoot you in the FACE" at some random person.

- When Nathan casualy breaks a guys neck whil talking with Shilo over the phone. It´s realy funny because he does it so quick and with no effort at all like it´s an everyday activity.

When Graverobber points to Shilo after Amber says "Who did that?" because Shilo said "Hey, that's Blind Mag's song." I love the look on his face!

-Dad, who's that?
-Oh, that? One of my patients. He's...sick.
-Will he live?
-It's looking grim.

The special effects that were used the very moment Blind Mag's eyes are about to project Marni's image. The initial swirl...I absolutely LOOOOVE that moment!

The song Seventeen.

First the random Joan Jett cameo, so lame.

Then at the end of the song when the girl was acting like a brat and Repo Man smacked her. I wanted so badly for her to shut up.

I can't believe nobody mentioned Night Surgeon as a whole. It's easily my favourite song in the entire show. However, my favourite *moment* is the part of that song when Nathan has been suited up and is slowly walking down the hall, singing, "Dear Marni, I am so sorry. Can you forgive me for this?" Something about Head's performance in that particular shot amidst all of the emotional chaos surrounding him stuck with me. I'm not kidding. I've had that line stuck in my head the past two days.

During "Chase the Morning" when Mag flutters her eyelashes and the hologram flutters in and out.

Witty closing remarks have been replaced by massive head trauma and severe hemorrhaging.

Nathan (Repo Man voice): So Rotti thinks he can take Shilo...
Shilo (waking): Dad?
Nathan (in fatherly, soothing voice): Nothing, Shilo, nothing. Go to bed.

"Tonight, we are betrayed...
Keep Shilo safe.
Make Rotti PAY.
On Marni's grave!
At the opera.....to-night"

Ahhh hanna took my good one. He turns from demon to angel, I rewound that part at least five times.

I guess my other is Rotti's hilarious airy tone when he goes "don't deny your repo man life".

That and the graverobber's mouth/face when he's leaning over the corpse singing "with common BLOOD!"

graverobber's mouth/face when he's leaning over the corpse singing "with common BLOOD!"

Oh! I love that part too. We must be kindred spirits or something.

Amber walking in for the first time during Zydrate Anatomy.

What's the matter Graverobber? Can't get it up if the girl's breathing?

- Luigi saying "I will shoot you in the face!" to one person and "What's this? Rat piss?!!" to another person (while stabbing him)
- The phone call between Shilo and Nathan
- Chase the Morning and Everybody's a Composer
- Amber complaining about being "surgically maimed"

- Shilo: Someone tell me what is going on.
Everybody: TELL HER! TELL HER!

- I Didn't Know I'd Love You So Much (makes me tear up every time...)
