Answer 1

Usually I would suggest theatre, but what about George Bailey from It's a Wonderful Life:

George: Just a minute, just a minute. Now, hold on, Mr. Potter. You're right when you say my father was no business man. I know that. Why he ever started this cheap, penny-ante Building and Loan, I'll never know. But neither you nor anybody else can say anything against his character, because his whole life was......Why, in the twenty-five years since he and Uncle Billy started this thing, he never once thought of himself. Isn't that right, Uncle Billy? He didn't save enough money to send Harry to school, let alone me. But he did help a few people get out of your slums, Mr. Potter. And what's wrong with that? Why...here, you're all businessmen here. Doesn't it make them better citizens? Doesn't it make them better customers? You, you said, what'd you say just a minute ago? They had to wait and save their money before they even ought to think of a decent home. Wait! Wait for what? Until their children grow up and leave them? Until they're so old and broken-down that they....do you know how long it takes a working man to save five thousand dollars? Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you're talking about...they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn't think so. People were human beings to him, but to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they're cattle. Well, in my book he died a much richer man than you'll ever be!
Potter: I'm not interested in your book. I'm talking about the Building & Loan.
George: I know very well what you're talking about. You're talking about something you can't get your fingers on, and it's galling you. That's what you're talking about, I know. (to the Board members) Well, I've said too much. I....you're the Board here. You do what you want with this thing. Just one thing more, though. This town needs this measly one-horse institution if only to have some place where people can come without crawling to Potter. Come on, Uncle Billy!
(George leaves the room, followed by Uncle Billy. And Potter's face is grim with hatred. The "frustrated old man" remark angered him to an extreme.)

Just the first one that came to mind, but I'm sure there are many more out there.

good luck,
Marianne

Imagine you have been told by your doctor that you have a fatal disease so rare that there is no proper name for it, only Yellow 19.He gives you 3 days. You go home and tell your wife the bad news, and after an hour of hand wringing and soul searching she suggests that you both go out on a bender at the local bingo hall for old times sake. By some strange quirk of fate you win all the games which amounts to thousands of pounds. Suddenly you have become quite a celebrity in the club that night so much so the Bingo caller calls you upon stage to congratulate you on your good fortune. Overcome with emotion you blurt out to the caller and audience that you don't feel lucky because you've got Yellow 19. Then the bingo caller gets all emotional when he blurts out that you have only gone and won the Raffle worth £50,000 with Yellow 19!
