A scene from Annie Hall 1977
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.
