What heartwarming Pippin moments resonated with you?

My favourite Pippin moment is when He has climbed up treebeard and he calls down to merry,looks to the tree(Treebeard opens his eyes),Pippin looks away,then the realization that it is no mere tree washes over Pippin and the look that comes over his face is so adorable,but then agian thats probably what i would look like to if i saw a tree open its eyes!

I (Like Pippin) always seem to find the right things to say to lighten the moment,tho at times it sounds foolish,it really is thoughtful.But he,on the other hand,Is relatively young and some what naive,What he says comes from the heart and that is why,I think, its so comforting!

Well,Thats enough rambling from me,tell me what you think.
 
My absolute favorite Pippin moment would have to be his offering up his sword to Denethor in Book V, but I also love his relationship with Gandalf throught LOTR, always accidentally causing trouble and then being forgiven by our favorite wizard.
 
Favorite pip moment? don't have one. However (online quizzes may say otherwise, but) I think I am most like Pip.

Pip and I have alot in common. Height for instance (after he and Merry grew). Pip constantly belittles himself, as do I. He has to find his courage and his strength, as do I, as I am on that path right now. He also has what you could call his 'blonde moments.'
 
My favorite Pippin Scene:
'Greetings!' said the lad. 'Where do you come from? You are a stranger in the City.'
'I was,' said Pippin; 'but they say I have become a man of Gondor.'
'Oh come!' said the lad. 'Then we are all men here. But how old are you, and what is your name? I am ten years already, and shall soon be five feet. I am taller than you. But then my father is a Guard, one of the tallest. What is your father?'
'Which question shall I answer first?' said Pippin. 'My father farms the lands round Whitwell near Tuckborough in the Shire. I am nearly twenty-nine, so I pass you there; though I am but four feet, and not likely to grow any more, save sideways.'
'Twenty-nine!' said the lad and whistled. 'Why, you are quite old! As old as my uncle Iorlas. Still,' he added hopefully, 'I wager I could stand you on your head or lay you on your back.'
'Maybe you could, if I let you,' said Pippin with a laugh. 'And maybe I could do the same to you: we know some wrestling tricks in my little country. Where, let me tell you, I am considered uncommonly large and strong; and I have never allowed anyone to stand me on my head. So if it came to a trial and nothing else would serve, I might have to kill you. For when you are older, you will learn that folk are not always what they seem; and though you may have taken me for a soft stranger-lad and easy prey, let me warn you: I am not, I am a halfling, hard, bold, and wicked!' Pippin pulled such a grim face that the boy stepped back a pace, but at once he returned with clenched fists and the light of battle in his eye.
'No!' Pippin laughed. 'Don't believe what strangers say of themselves either! I am not a fighter. But it would be politer in any case for the challenger to say who he is.'
The boy drew himself up proudly. 'I am Bergil son of Beregond of the Guards,' he said.

I hope they keep this one.
