-->'''Gustave:''' It's you! Thank you, you sweet kind man!\\

---> '''Gustave:''' So... you're actually, really more of a refugee, in that sense?\\

* Inspector Henckels immediately recognizing Gustave as [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe the man who was kind to him when he was a lonely little boy]] and ordering his men to release him and Zero, even extending his gratitude to the latter in the form of a safe-conduct. [[spoiler:Later, while he's doing his duty in the pursuit of Gustave as a fugitive from justice, he nonetheless [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure promises him fair treatment if he surrenders]]. Finally, he's the one who reads out Madame D.'s second will in public, thereby clearing Gustave's name]].
** [[http://i.imgur.com/5rsXGCs.jpg As revealed by]] a FreezeFrameBonus, [[spoiler:Henckels became Secretary General of the government-in-exile of Zubrowka during the war, then resumed his functions of inspector and awarded Zero a medal for his contributions to the country's liberation and economic recovery. Ten years after the events of the movie, he still speaks fondly of Gustave which he refers as a friend]].

* When Zero explains how he ended up at the hotel is both heartwarming and a TearJerker. [[spoiler:Soldiers executed his father and shot the rest of his family by firing squad. He's not an "immigrant," as Gustave first believes, but a refugee.]]

---> '''Gustave:''' So... you're actually, really more of a [[spoiler: refugee]], in that sense?\\

** Earlier, Zero also recites a poem for Gustave, [[spoiler:after Gustave breaks out of jail, the two fight, and then reconcile]]. Gustave compliments him on coming up with something very good [[spoiler:and though it's cut short as they need to run from the police, he does ask Zero to remember where he left off so he can hear the rest.]]

** Gustave asks for a glass of chilled water with no ice because ice is such a labour intensive commodity and the servants are busy enough with all the other guests at the reading of the will.
* Zero's reprimand of [[spoiler:his replacement]] Otto, while clearly out of annoyance, is done in a gentle and non-threatening way.
* The prisoners adopting [[spoiler:Gustave]] as one of their crew and as the indirect inspiration for [[spoiler:their escape. Better considering Gustave had [[DefeatMeansFriendship beaten up one of them]] beforehand and recounted the story to a visiting Zero.]]

* Zero's love and attachment to the Grand Budapest throughout the remainder of his life despite many decades of loneliness and the hotel aging to disrepair and [[spoiler:inevitable demolition]]. Mostly motivated by his years of happiness at the hotel with Agatha.

** Leading up to that, Gustave had gone on a very insensitive and racist rant about Zero's homeland and ethnicity, leading up to him asking why Zero even left his country to begin with. When Zero gives the above reason, Gustave is [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone ashamed]] of what he said, takes it back, and apologizes, refusing to let Zero [[EasilyForgiven brush off the insults as nothing]].

'''Gustave:''' Well... I suppose I'd better take back ''everything'' I just said. ''[voice breaking]'' [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone What a bloody idiot I am... pathetic fool]]. Goddamn, ''selfish bastard''. This is '''''disgraceful,''''' and it's beneath the standards of the Grand Budapest. ''[puts his right hand on his heart]'' I apologize on ''behalf'' of the hotel.\\

---> '''Gustave:''' So... you're actually, really more of a [[spoiler: refugee]], in that sense?
---> '''Zero:''' ''Truly.''

---> '''Zero:''' [[ThinkNothingOfIt It's not your fault, Mr. Gustave.]] You were ''just'' upset I forgot the perfume.
---> '''Gustave:''' ''[[holds Zero by his shoulders]]'' '''Don't''' make excuses for me. ''[[IOweYouMyLife I owe you my life]].''' [[TrueYou are my '''[[TrueCompanions dear]]''' [[TrueCompanions friend and protégé]] and [[SoProudOfYou I am]] ''[[SoProudOfYou very]]'' [[SoProudOfYou proud of you]]! You ''must'' know that. I'm so sorry, Zero.
---> '''Zero:''' '''We're brothers.''' ''[They both nod and hug.]]''
