A Lowly Shrug From a High Pedestal

- Mark Ruffalo's Terry, in You Can Count on Me (2000)

Ruffalo had alienated himself from his sister and his nephew, who worshipped him; here he reappears in their life by driving up unexpectedly, signalling a canceled fishing trip is back on. Sitting in the seat, just using his upper body and facial gestures (around 00:51), he effectively conveys his sense of contrition without speaking a word. He remains true to his lackadaisical nature while pushing himself past his comfort zone, back onto his nephew's pedestal and into his sister's good books. All by simply showing up, saying he's sorry with an off-handed shrug.
