Best last lines

What do you think are some of the best closing lines? Here's some of mine:

I'm Open:
"Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers
he decides to dream...
Dream up a new self... for himself"
(Do more spoken word, guys!)

Army Reserve:
"I'm not frantic,
I can see it coming.
Darling you'll save me,
if you save yourself."

Unemployable:
"Near to death,
Here to die,
Scared alive"

Oh, and of course, Black:
"I know someday have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a star, in somebody else's life
but why, why, why...
can't it be, can't it be
mine..."

    man of the hour:

    Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
    As the curtain comes down
    I feel that this is just goodbye for now.

    one of ed's best written, and most moving, songs.
    Another habit says it's in love with you
    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    For me, the best closing lines I've ever seen.
    I just want to scream...
    ...hello!!!
    My god its been six years...
    never dreamed...
    ...you'd return.

    European ten version
    Beavis : Is this Pearl Jam?
    Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
    Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
    Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
    Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
    Butt-head: Well, they both suck.

    I'd have to agree on one of his most moving songs. I had heard it once or twice from listening to Benaroya, and had watched Big Fish and the song as the credits rolled. But when I heard it live, I was completely overcome with the emotional element of this song. It was very powerful, now I love this song everytime I hear it.

    I love that one too!

    Here is another I like:

    he's stiffening, we're all whistling
    a man we'll soon forget
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    "Oh, if I knew where it was I would take you there but there's much more
    than this.
    Ooh. Whoa, much more than this. Woh see the world. Much more than ...
