Any of the times Sam demonstrates his Undying Loyalty to Mr. Pickwick.
When Mr. Pickwick is arrested and put in the Fleet, he tells Sam to leave him. Sam refuses. Mr. Pickwick insists, so Sam leaves... and goes and gets himself arrested so he can be put in the Fleet, too.
Later, near the end, Mr. Pickwick announces his intention to give Sam enough money for him to marry Mary. However, this would mean Sam leaving Mr. Pickwick. Sam objects.
Sam: If you vant a more polished sort o' feller, vell and good, have him; but vages or no vages, notice or no notice, board or no board, lodgin' or no lodgin', Sam Veller, as you took from the old inn in the Borough, sticks by you, come what may; and let ev'rythin' and ev'rybody do their wery fiercest, nothin' shall ever perwent it!
