Daily Dialogue — May 25, 2015

Alvy and Annie are seeing their therapists at the same time on a split screen.

Annie Hall: That day in Brooklyn was the last day I remember really having a good time.
Alvy Singer: We never have any laughs anymore is the problem.
Annie Hall: I’ve been moody and dissatisfied.
Alvy Singer’s Therapist: How often do you sleep together?
Annie Hall’s Therapist: Do you have sex often?
Alvy Singer: [lamenting] Hardly ever. Maybe three times a week.
Annie Hall: [annoyed] Constantly. I’d say three times a week.

— Annie Hall (1977), written by Woody Allen, Marshall Brickman

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Dating. Today’s suggestion by James Schramm.

Trivia: The scene where Alvy and Annie are at their psychiatrists, which looks like a split screen scene, was actually shot simultaneously on one set with an adjoining wall.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by James: “Woody Allen’s quintessential movie about dating. You could show a dozen different scenes but this is my favorite.”
