Two Down!
Top Five Romantic TV Moments

1. Friends | Monica/Chandler |TOW The Proposal

I'm not big on the epic romance moments, never have been, but I just love this scene, with both of them on their knees, both of them in tears, both of them proposing.

2. The West Wing | Josh/Donna | Inauguration: Over There

"You look amazing."

Oh how I wish I could find a video of this. The transcript will just have to do I guess.

TOBY
[to cab driver] Why don't you stick around for a minute. [to Josh] We're just going
to be a minute, right?

JOSH
Quick review.

TOBY
[to cab driver] Wait just one minute.

JOSH
It's good cop/bad cop. I'm the good cop; the four of you are the bad cop. Will, what
are you?

WILL
The bad cop.

JOSH
Danny what are you?

DANNY
The bad cop.

JOSH
Toby, what are you?

TOBY
Hurry up.

JOSH
Charlie, who are you?

CHARLIE
I love Zoey, and I must have her back.

JOSH
The bad cop, that's right. Here we go.

Josh runs up to the door of the building. The rest are still standing in the middle
of the road.

WILL
That's great news about Zoey. I didn't meet her, but I bet she's nice.

CHARLIE
Not really, but my love for her knows no bounds.

DANNY
Charlie, aren't you cold without a coat?

CHARLIE
I took off my coat to show my love for Zoey.

DANNY
Wow.

CHARLIE
I'd take off my shirt too, but it's inappropriate with a tuxedo.

DANNY
Not if we're at Chipendales.

TOBY
[to Josh] I'm standing here!

JOSH
[coming back down the steps] The buzzer's not working.

TOBY
Did you try it?

JOSH
No, I divined it.

DANNY
Maybe she's just not answering.

JOSH
The buzzer's not working. There's a note that says the buzzer's not working.

TOBY
Call her.

JOSH
No, I know women. I know what they're like. [yelling] Donna!

DANNY
I think before tonight's over, we might have ourselves a whole new story.

Toby starts to laugh. Josh picks up some snow and makes a snowball. He hurls it at her
window, but he misses.

JOSH
Huh.

He makes another snowball and misses. The others follow suit. They are now all throwing
snowballs at Donna's window.

DANNY
Ho!

TOBY
Yeah!

JOSH
Here we go.

They finally hit the window and Donna appears. She lifts up her window but they continue
to throw snowballs, almost hitting her.

DONNA
What the hell are you doing?

JOSH
Get down here! Now!

DONNA
Keep your voice down.

JOSH
Don't even think about telling me to keep my voice! Get down here!

DONNA
I'm coming.

Donna puts down her window and disappears. A neighbor from across the street has opened
his window and yells down at them.

MAN 1
Hey, now I'm telling you-- keep your voice down.

MAN 2
Me too.

JOSH
Oh, no, I'm sorry. Didn't mean to wake you guys. Uh, this is a special situation. It's
okay, I'm the good cop.

TOBY
[into cellphone] Hi, National Inquirer?

Donna comes walking out of her house. Josh runs up to her taking off his coat.

JOSH
You come down here without a coat?

DONNA
I need you to keep your voice down.

Josh puts his coat around Donna.

DONNA
Go ahead, you're entitled-- give it to me all again.

JOSH
You don't know the White House rejected ten billion for the D.O.D. You have absolutely
no way of knowing that. Jack said it. The researcher called Jack, and Jack said it.

DONNA
He was working a lot of nights, and it really wore him out.

JOSH
Yeah?

DONNA
And then this thing happened, and he didn't think he was on the record.

JOSH
Donna--

DONNA
He didn't, Josh. That was legitimate.

JOSH
He's letting you take credit for this?

DONNA
Listen, this guys got an important career ahead of him.

JOSH
Your career isn't important? What was the point of anyone claiming... You knew it was
easy... to figure out it was him.

DONNA
Not as easy as you made it. I didn't think about the top of the quote--

JOSH
The list of things you didn't think about, including your job, what the President
thinks of you.

DONNA
Does he know about this?

JOSH
He's about to. You look amazing.

DONNA
[to the guys still standing in the street] Hi, guys.

WILL, CHARLIE and DANNY
Hi, Donna.

TOBY
Donna.

DONNA
Sorry about all this.

TOBY
Don't worry about it.

DANNY
It was stupid, but it was menschy.

JOSH
[to Danny] Hey, hey, hey. Good cop/bad cop.

DANNY
Sorry, it was just stupid.

DONNA
Hey, Will, you and Toby wrote maybe the greatest speech I've ever heard.

WILL
Thank you very much.

JOSH
[to Donna] We're going to a ball.

DONNA
Balls are fun.

JOSH
We're actually going to eight of them.

DONNA
Eight times the fun.

JOSH
I was actually the one who hit the window, the rest of them went to school on my throw.

TOBY
Let's go!

Josh puts out his arm and Donna grabs it. They all begin to walk to the cab.

DONNA
How you doing, Charlie?

CHARLIE
Well, I'm going to win Zoey's heart from Jean-Paul.

DONNA
Excellent.

CHARLIE
'Cause he may be good-looking and rich and well schooled and French royalty, you know,
and live basically in a castle, but... Oh, God.

TOBY
This is what I've been telling you. Get in the car.

Everyone is now in the cab but Donna and Josh.

DONNA
Josh... I'm sorry. Seriously, I've never lied to you before, boss, and it won't happen
again.

JOSH
You're going to have to sit on somebody's lap.

DONNA
Okay.

3. ER | Doug/Carol | Such Sweet Sorrow

4. Dawson's Creek | Pacey/Joey | The Anti-Prom

"I remember everything."

5. Farscape | John/Aeryn | Mind the Baby

It's such a quiet moment, but I just love it to death. Their eyes and hands say it all.

Okay, come on, which did I forget? Embedded videos in the comments are LOVE.
