Daily Dialogue — December 31, 2010

“I love that you get cold when it’s 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts. I love that 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 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.”

 — Harry (Billy Crystal), When Harry Met Sally (1989), written by Nora Ephron

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is New Year’s Eve. When Harry Met Sally suggested by Rosie.

Trivia: The concept of Sally being a picky eater was based on Nora Ephron, the scriptwriter, and so years after the movie came out, when Nora Ephron was on a plane and ordered something very precise, the stewardess looked at her and asked “Have you ever see the movie ‘When Harry Met Sally’?”
