** Hawkgirl gets another when she walks in on Batman, who she knows had earlier been on a time-travel trip to the future, and asks him to tell her about her (as yet not even close to being conceived) son. The episode ends at that point but the question is asked with such heartfelt pleading that you ''know'' he couldn't refuse her request.
** Come to think of it, she probably gets most of them. Her calming the monstrous Grundy before she's forced to kill him, followed immediately by her acceptance of the crowd's accusation that she was a traitor to her team. Her interactions with a still distrusting Wonder Woman when the two have to go free Hades. Her scene with Alfred after the Thanagarian invasion...

-->'''Alexa Woods''': There's no room for sick men on this expedition.
-->'''Charles Bishop Weyland''': My doctors tell me the worst is behind me.
-->'''Lex''': You're not a very good liar, Mr. Weyland. Stay on the ship. We'll update you at the top of every hour.
-->'''Weyland''': You know, when you get sick, you think about your life and how you're going to be remembered. You know what I realized would happen when I go? A ten percent fall in share prices. Maybe twelve. And that's it.
-->'''Lex''': I've heard this speech before. My dad broke his leg seven hundred feet from the summit of Mount Ranier. He was like you. He wouldn't go back or let us stop. We reached the top and he opened a bottle of champagne. I had my first drink with my dad at 14,400 feet. On the way down, he developed a blood clot in his leg that traveled to his lung. He suffered for four hours before dying twenty minutes from the base.
-->'''Weyland''': You think that's the last thing your dad remembers? The pain? Or drinking champagne with his daughter fourteen thousand feet in the air? I need this.

* A few scenes in ''ConanTheBarbarian'' count for this - see any time Conan and Subotai have a discussion. In fact, John Milius is so fond of monologues, any scene that isn't action will be a Quiet Drama Scene.

* Quite a few moments in ''AvatarTheLastAirbender.'' The show's action sequences are stunningly fantastic, but it's the quiet, emotional scenes (usually before said fantastic action scenes) that really make the show great. One notable example is the scene between Iroh and Zuko in "The Siege of the North," where Iroh gives Zuko some last-minute advice and [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming tells him that]] [[LikeASonToMe he thinks of him as his own son]], right before Zuko ninjas into the Northern Water Tribe to capture Aang.

* The films of MamoruOshii, almost as a trademark, tend to trade off between flashy and bombastic action sequences and long, quiet stretches containing some combination of dialogue (usually of a [[ContemplateOurNavels heavily philosophical bent]]), striking imagery, and beautiful, ambient KenjiKawai music. In fact, even though most of his films could be classified as "action films", the drama scenes often outnumber the action scenes, making them a [[LoveItOrHateIt controversial prospect]] for viewers who are more interested in action. A particularly notable example of this is the scene between Batou and his dog in ''Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence'', which is set to melancholy smooth jazz with no dialogue and massive amounts of emotion, right in the middle of an otherwise dark, cold and violent film.
* ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'', being at least as much drama as action series, has many of these. So many, in fact, that one could easily argue it to be MORE drama than action series.
