Annie: [voiceover] That was fun. I don't think California is bad at all. It's a drag coming home.
Alvy: [voiceover] A lot of beautiful women. It was fun to flirt.
Annie: [voiceover] I have to face facts. I adore Alvy, but our relationship doesn't seem to work anymore.
Alvy: [voiceover] I'll have the usual trouble with Annie in bed tonight. Why do I need this?
Annie: [voiceover] If only I had the nerve to break up but it would really hurt him.
Alvy: [voiceover] If only I didn't feel guilty asking Annie to move out. It would probably wreck her. But I should be honest.
Annie: Alvy? Let's face it. You know something? I don't think our relationship is working.
Alvy: I know. A relationship, I think, is-is like a shark. You know, it has to constantly move forward or it dies, and I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark.

Actor Alvy: [in Alvy's play] You're a thinking person. How can you choose this lifestyle?
Actor Annie: What is so incredibly great about New York? It's a dying city. You - you read Death in Venice.
Actor Alvy: You didn't read Death in Venice till I gave it to you.
Actor Annie: Well, you only give me books with the word 'death' in the title.
Actor Alvy: It's an important issue.
Actor Annie: Alvy, you are totally incapable of enjoying life. You're like New York. You're an island.
Actor Alvy: OK, if that's all that we've been through together means to you, I guess it's better if we just said goodbye, once and for all! You know, it's funny, after all the serious talks and passionate moments that it ends here - in a health-food restaurant on Sunset Boulevard. Goodbye, Sunny.
Actor Annie: Wait! I'm - I'm gonna go with you. I love you.
