Possibly the most inspiring scene ever to be found in a documentary is that one moment where Stephen excitedly says: "Bang".

@Mmmmcress Tissue is not enough, I'm afraid. I, actually, was more in need of a bed sheet after his proposal of marriage... Sigh.....

[TheAkelei]

@ThatOlCheesyDude Yes, it's really deeply gripping. I have to confess there were tears....
