“So what - you-you're not gonna come back to New York?” – Alvy, Annie Hall ... Movie Quotes Database

Alvy

So what - you-you're not gonna come back to New York?

Annie

What's so great about New York? I mean, it's a dying city. You read Death in Venice.

Alvy

Hey, you didn't read Death in Venice till I bought it for ya.

Annie

That's right, that's right. You only gave me books with the word 'death' in the titles.

Alvy

That's right, 'cause it's an important issue.

Annie

Alvy, you're incapable of enjoying life, you know that? I mean you're like New York City. You're just this person. You're like this island unto yourself.

Alvy

I can't enjoy anything unless everybody is. If one guy is starving someplace, that puts a crimp in my evening.

Well, that's essentially how I feel about life. Full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.
