When Harry Met Sally

When Harry Met Sally



Harry: I've been doing a lot of thinking, and the thing is -- I love you.   

Sally: What?   

Harry: I love you.   

Sally: How do you expect me to respond to this?   

Harry: How about you love me, too?   

Sally: How about I'm leaving?   

Harry: Doesn't what I said mean anything to you?   

Sally: I'm sorry, Harry, I know it's New Year's Eve, I know you're feeling lonely, but you just can't show up here, tell me you love me and expect that to make everything alright. It doesn't work this way!   

Harry: Well, how does it work?   

Sally: I don't know, but not this way.   

Harry: How about this way: I love it that you get cold when it's seventy-one degrees out. I love it that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love it that you get a little 14 crinkle above your nose when you looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that when after I spend the day with you I can still smell your perfume on my clothes, and I love that you are the last person that I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible!   

Sally: (Melting) You see, that is just like you, Harry! You say things like that and you make it impossible for me to hate you, and I hate you, Harry, I really hate you!   

(Auld Land Syne plays in background.)   

Harry: What does this song mean? My whole life I don't know what this song means. I mean, "Should old acquaintances be forgot?" Does that mean that we should forget old acquaintances, or does it mean that if we happen to forget them we should remember them, which is not possible because we already forgot them.   

Sally: (Gently) Well, maybe it just means that we should remember that we forgot them or something. Anyway, it's about old friends...   

Song: It had to be you. It had to be you, I wondered around and finally found there's somebody who could make me be true, could make me be blue, and even be glad just to be sad thinking of you...
