* Susan seems especially distraught over having grown up without a mother. She collapses onto her bed in tears after the discovery when Sharon leaves the cabin. She also fiercely argues against ending their scheme because, to paraphrase, Sharon has had thirteen years with her mother and now it's Susan's turn -- she seems to think that once the twins switch back to their original identities, she might never see her mother again. Sharon does not seem to crave her father's company as badly, probably because her grandfather has served as the main male adult in her life.

!!Hayley Mills version:




!!Lindsay Lohan version:
* The scenes where Annie reveals herself to Chessy and Hallie reveals herself to Elizabeth are both incredibly emotional. Chessy falls to pieces the second Annie admits who she is, blurting out her birth weight and asking to hug her, in tears. And when Hallie admits to Elizabeth who she is and that she wanted to get to know her mother, there's an incredibly heartbreaking moment when you realize that, as much as she might have agreed to it or even come up with the idea, the separation has been just as hard on her as Hallie.
-->'''Hallie:''' I hope that one day you'll love me for me and not as Annie.
-->'''Elizabeth:''' ''[pulls Hallie into a hug and kisses her head]'' Oh, darling. I've loved you your whole life.
* The scene where Nick finds out about them is also this, especially when Nick hugs Annie and is all emotional over seeing her as her for the first time in over a decade.
* The conversation about the break-up. Elizabeth talks about their blazing row, how she packed her bags and Nick never came after her.
--> '''Nick:''' I didn't know that you wanted me to.
* There's also the part where the families say goodbye just as Annie and Elizabeth are about to go back to London. You see Nick hugging Annie, Elizabeth hugging Hallie, and the twins desperately embracing each other. They even walk to the car, clinging to each other under a shared umbrella, clearly desperate to spend every second they can together.
** Cheesy also grabs an umbrella and goes out to the car so she can say goodbye to Martin.
