I'll break the sound barrier for you.

The film:

  • Henry and Alex dancing in the V&A, after reaffirming their love and commitment to each other. For bonus points, after Henry reveals his childhood dream about dancing with someone he loved amongst all the statues, Alex immediately takes out his phone, starts playing "Can't Help Falling in Love" on it, and sets it aside to go dance with Henry. In that moment, they can't look any more in love than they already are if they tried.
    Henry: Please be patient with me, and I promise I will try and be brave for us. Because when they write the history of my life... I want it to include you... and my love for you.
    Alex: (touched) History, huh? (thoughtful look, then a smile and nod) I bet we could make some.
  • Alex and Henry giving each other important mementos (Alex's key, Henry's ring) as a way to feel closer even when they have to be apart for a while.
  • Alex and Henry's reunion on the staircase of Kensington Palace, where they just run into each other's arms and hold on as though nothing will ever tear them apart again.
    • That entire scene.
      Henry: ...Hello?
      Alex: Baby.
      Henry: Alex. Oh, my God, are you all right??
      Alex: I'm hanging in there. Are you okay?
      Henry: ...No. No, I'm not okay.
      Alex: You know what? I'm coming to London, tonight. Just hold on until I get there. We'll figure this out.
      Henry: Hurry. Please.
      Alex: I'll break the sound barrier for you.
