What are your favorite Band of Brothers scenes?

Been watching it again after breaking out the DVD's on memorial day and enjoying the heck out of it again.
There are a ton of scenes I love but some of my favorites are:
1- The scene while they're watching the movie and Luz keeps quoting it out loud - "Got a Penny". Just seems to capture the camaraderie and tension of the unit at the same time.
2- The scene with Roe and the Belgian nurse sitting on the bench and he comments on her hands and they're both thinking how painful it is to bring aid and comfort to others in such pain and anguish. (I know it's not really certain whether those two ever even met but that doesn't diminish the power of the scene for me).
3- The Brecourt Manor battle. Kind of encapsulates a lot of the themes of the show in one scene - Winter's leadership, the men's dedication (Popeye apologizing for getting shot), Speirs' ultra aggressiveness and fearlessness. And the ability and competence of the company in being able to accomplish that task.

The drop scene. Amidst all the invasion scenes on the beaches portrayed over time, I think we tend to gloss over just how perilous it was to jump out of an airplane into occupied territory.

Also, the scene at the concentration camps when they have to tell all of the Jewish prisoners that they have to remain in the camp. Absolutely heartbreaking, but historically accurate as they had to control the food intake of these malnourished people. Just goes to show that the atrocities committed there were so heinous that there was no quick salvation for the survivors.

This and the attack on the dyke in Holland. Easily the two best scenes in a great series.

Not only that, but you've had months, maybe even years of training all leading up to this one moment in your life, and it could all be over before it even started and there's no way for you to control it

When Spiers takes over for dyke during the Foy battle. True leadership desicions have never been more clearly portrayed.

I would say the invasion scene
But one that hit me was when one of the men was telling the story of a kid who hung himself because he couldn't go to war. Different times...

Spiers just shows up and tells Dyke "I got this." Asks Lipton what they are doing, Lipton tells him about Dykes flanking order, Spiers is just calm as can be like "No we're not gonna do that." By all accounts from the Easy men, the scene where Spiers runs through the German lines was depicted exactly as it happened.
I like later on, when Lip asks him about shooting the Nazi soldiers, Spiers gives him the "Sometimes it's better to let the men believe the legend" speech.

"We salute the rank, not the man."
And Speirs to Blithe: "You hid in that ditch becuse you think there's still hope - but Blithe, the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldiers' supposed to function."

Those winter scenes make me cold even if my apartment is 100°.

I liked the part where they forced the townspeople to help bury the bodies, they were all smug and trying to act like they didn't know what went on there.
