Awesome / What's Eating Gilbert Grape

• Bonnie going Mama Bear for Arnie when he is arrested — going far enough to leave the house for the first time in over seven years. The intimidation on the sheriff's face when she arrives is priceless.
• Even though it led to his arrest, Arnie climbing to the top of the town's tower is awesome in itself.
• After Arnie's release, some kids come to gawk at his morbidly obese mother during dinner. This leads Ellen of all people to chase the brats off by throwing a potato at the window they were staring at.
• To spare their dead mother from being the town joke, her children decide to burn the house with her corpse inside.
• A small moment, but Tucker (a friend of Gilbert's) calls out Gilbert for showing off his obese mother to gawking children as if she was a circus freak.
