You know, this is remarkably difficult. I'm realizing as I think about it that characters, and character relationships in particular, tend to grow on me slowly, and the scenes that really stick with me, or the scenes that made me go from being "meh" to "OMG MORE PLZ" about a character, are ones that rely on a long build-up for effectiveness; they don't really work out of context.
Context-free, possibly the best thing along these lines that I can think of is the opening scene of Good Omens with Aziraphale and Crowley/Crawly talking in the Garden of Eden. There is a ton of characterization packed into that exchange, about who they are (Aziraphale giving his flaming sword to the exiled humans because they looked cold!) and the way they relate to each other.
