History Heartwarming / Hogfather

-->'''Hex:''' +++ I am preparing an area of [[UsefulNotes/ReadOnlyMemory Write-Only Memory]] +++

'''Albert''': You're not allowed to do that...\\

** And then there's the fact Hex is later only willing to work if he is FTB-enabled.

'''Death''': [[AC:[[LoopholeAbuse The Hogfather can.]] [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight The Hogfather gives presents.]] [[ScrewDestiny There's no better present than a future.]]]]

-->'''Nobby''': (to Visit) Looks like we’ve been chosen to do a bit of charity.\\

-->+++ I am preparing an area of [[UsefulNotes/ReadOnlyMemory Write-Only Memory]] +++\\
[[AC:What is that?]]\\
+++ You would say: To Know In Your Bones +++

--> '''Hex:''' +++ Dear Hogfather, for Hogswatch I want+++\\
'''Death:''' [[AC: You can't... But you can, can't you.]]\\
'''Hex:''' +++ Yes. [[LoopholeAbuse I am entitled.]] +++

-->'''Death:''' [[AC: Let me see... how old are you? And have you been naughty? Or nice?]]\\

-->'''Death''': [[AC:Really? As if it was some kind of pink pill? No. Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.]]

-->'''Death''': [[AC:Yes. As practice. You have to start out learning to believe the ''little'' lies.]]

-->'''Death''': [[AC:Yes. Justice. Mercy. Duty. That sort of thing.]]

-->'''Death''': [[AC:You think so? Then take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then ''show'' me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet-- And yet you act as if there is some ideal order in the world, as if there is some ''rightness'' in the universe by which it may be judged.]]

-->'''Death''': [[AC:My point exactly. There is a place where two galaxies have been colliding for a million years. Don't try to tell ''me'' that's right.]]

-->'''Death''': [[AC:Correct. Stars explode, worlds collide, there's hardly anywhere in the universe where humans can live without being frozen or fried, and yet you believe that a bed is a... a normal thing. It is the most amazing talent.]]

-->'''Death''': [[AC:Oh, yes. A very special kind of stupidity. You think the whole universe is inside your heads.]]

-->'''Death''': [[AC:No. You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they ''become''?]]
* Mr. Teatime is an absolute monster, yet there something oddly heartwarming in his interaction with Death at the very end of the movie. Death tells him to [[AC:stop playing dead, mr. Teatime]]. Teatime reacts with more than a little joy at someone finally getting his name right.

-->'''Death''': [[AC:No. You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they ''become''?

'''Death''': [[AC:Really? As if it was some kind of pink pill? No. Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.]]
'''Susan''': Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little--
'''Death''': [[AC:Yes. As practice. You have to start out learning to believe the ''little'' lies.]]
'''Susan''': So we can believe the big ones?
'''Death''': [[AC:Yes. Justice. Mercy. Duty. That sort of thing.]]
'''Susan''': They're not the same at all!
'''Death''': [[AC:You think so? Then take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then ''show'' me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet-- And yet you act as if there is some ideal order in the world, as if there is some ''rightness'' in the universe by which it may be judged.]]
'''Susan''': Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the ''point''--?
'''Death''': [[AC:My point exactly. There is a place where two galaxies have been colliding for a million years. Don't try to tell ''me'' that's right.]]
'''Susan''': Yes, but people don't think about that. Somewhere there was a bed...
'''Death''': [[AC:Correct. Stars explode, worlds collide, there's hardly anywhere in the universe where humans can live without being frozen or fried, and yet you believe that a bed is a... a normal thing. It is the most amazing talent.]]
'''Susan''': Talent?
'''Death''': [[AC:Oh, yes. A very special kind of stupidity. You think the whole universe is inside your heads.]]
'''Susan''': You make us sound mad.
'''Death''': [[AC:No. You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they ''become''?

-->'''Susan''': All right. I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... ''fantasies'' to make life bearable.\\

* Banjo turning against Teatime, and protecting Susan from Teatime, after learning the Teatime was trying to kill the Hogfather. In this one scene he establishes that he isn't a PsychopathicManChild, but just a regular ManChild that was misled.

* Death's encounter with Nobby, [[spoiler:giving him the best Hogswatchnight of his life with a crossbow that one of Nobby's favorite magazines, 'had to break both arms of the reviewer to get it away from him'. And you know what? Nobby'd gone up to the Hogfather exhibit in order to give the Hogfather a piece of his mind, because he had never gotten presents when he was child on Hogswatchnight, due to his family's poverty. The way Nobby lights up when he opens it really just made me go 'd'awwwwwww']].

* Albert gives Death a lecture about how you're not supposed to get what you wished for on Hogswatch, you're only supposed to have hope that you'll get it. Death decides to kick tradition and give the poor boy everything he wished for. Life may be unfair, [[AC: but I am not]].

'''Susan''': Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little-\\

** Later, Death not understanding Albert's point that the poor get poor things while the rich get rich things, and refusing to do so.
