A scene from As Good as It Gets 1997
Melvin Udall

[Melvin Udall is on the phone, and Carol Connelly is on the other line.]

Hello?

Melvin Udall

How you doing?

Carol Connelly

Not so hot.

Melvin Udall

[Melvin is very concerned.]

Why? Wh-what's wrong?

Carol Connelly

I don't know whether I'm being sensible or hard on you.

Melvin Udall

Maybe both. Maybe.

Carol Connelly

See, right there, I don't know whether you're being cute or crazy now.

Melvin Udall

Cute.

Carol Connelly

You don't have to answer everything I say. Just listen to me, okay? Listen to me. It's really something that you're looking after Simon. And what I said on the street. That was a bad thing to say. And it made me sick to my stomach. It was a bad thing to say. And I'd be lying if I didn't say I enjoy your company. But, the truth is you do bother me enormously, and I know that - think that it's - I think that it's better for me to not have contact with you because you're not ready, and you're a pretty old guy to not be ready, and I'm too old to ignore that. But, there were extraordinary kindnesses that did take place. Huh. So, anyway, thanks for the trip. Good night. Good night.

Melvin Udall

Okay if I say something now?

Carol Connelly

Go ahead.

Melvin Udall

I should've danced with you.

Carol Connelly

Mm. Good night. Good night.
