Dean
I'm telling you right now British women do not age well. Eight years ago she was a luscious treat, you know, she probably looked like, you know, Baby Spice, now she could look like...
Jonathan
Old Spice.

Jonathan
This is the ultimate blend to drink. How'd you find this place?
Sara
I first came in because of the name: Serendipity. It's one of my favorite words.
Jonathan
It is? Why?
Sara
It's such a nice sounding word for what it means: a fortunate accident.
Dean
You're the shit!
Jonathan
[man next to him on plane looks over at him thinking he's talking to him] [to the guy]
That would be me, the shit.
Sara
Ok, favorite movie?
Jonathan
The correct answer is Cool Hand Luke.
Sara
I've never seen it?
Jonathan
Oh, come on! You've never seen Cool Hand Luke? Paul Newman? Oh my god! Come on! "Failure to communicate", sadistic cop with sunglasses with no name, who reminds me of you in that way.
Jonathan
[Jonathan is trying to get Sara's information from her old Bloomingdale's account]
Would $20 help?
Bloomingdale's Salesman
It might if I were a health inspector.
Jonathan
So are you gonna meet your boyfriend now or what?
Sara
No, I think he's out probably doing what you're doing.
Jonathan
Getting a crush on somebody else's girlfriend? No, I'm sorry, I just meant I had a really nice time. You know, maybe you should give me your phone number. Just in case.
Sara
In case of what?
Jonathan
In case of life. I just had a really great time and for all we know I wouldn't be able to find you again.
Sara
Well, if we're meant to meet again, we'll meet again. it's just not the right time now.
Jonathan
Maybe we're supposed to meet on British time and we're five hours too early.
Jonathan
[at Bloomingdale's]
Happy anniversary.
Sara
When did you get to be so unimaginably romantic?
Jonathan
I think that it's good luck that we return this year to the scene of the crime. (pours a paper cup of champagne) Cheers.
Sara
Cheers.

This is the ultimate blend to drink. How'd you find this place?
Sara
I first came in because of the name: Serendipity. It's one of my favorite words.
Jonathan
It is? Why?
Sara
It's such a nice sounding word for what it means: a fortunate accident.
Jonathan
Fortunate accidents. Lucky discoveries. Columbus in America.
Sara
Yeah, or Fleming discovering penicillin.
Jonathan
Penicillin.
Jonathan
Fleming is his name?
Sara
Yes.
Jonathan
Or "Jonathan and the Gloves."
Sara
I don't know that one.
Jonathan
You don't know that story? It's an old folk tale classic. Our hero, Jonathan, goes out in search of black gloves. And in a perfect act of "serendipiocity" or "serendipaciousness," he runs into a beautiful, attractive English girl with a boyfriend.
Jonathan
You have a boyfriend, right?
Jonathan
You're insane.
Sara
Come on.
Sara
Okay, get in. Take a breath, and then when the door closes, hit a button.
Jonathan
I don't understand this.
Sara
You don't have to understand. You just have to have faith.
Jonathan
Faith in what?
Sara
Destiny.
