Story-Telling: Moment in Film/TV

As part of a screenwriting workshop we were asked to pick a moment in film or TV that we like. I have chosen:

The Tenth Doctor Regenerates- David Tennant to Matt Smith

I love this moment from the Christmas episode of Doctor Who Season 4 entitled "The End of Time". This was David Tennant's final episode. This scene is a very memorable moment because just before  the regeneration begins David says "I don't wanna go", a line which reflects David's true feelings. After serving as the Doctor for a long period time, it is clear he doesn't want to leave. This line was recorded four times with three different levels of emotion and the take used is take number 3.

Here are the alternate takes:

The line itself was almost cut because it seemed too cheesy and not like something the doctor would say. However, I think the line works perfectly and really connects with the audience because they didn't want him to go either. It's a great moment in television that almost didn't make the final cut.
