A scene from Sleepless in Seattle 1993
Sam Baldwin

[about Annie]

She wants to meet me at the top of the Empire State Building. On Valentine's Day.

Suzy

It's like that movie.

Sam Baldwin

What movie?

Suzy

An Affair To Remember. Did you ever see it? Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. She's gonna meet him at the top of the Empire State Building... only she got hit by a taxi. And he waited and waited. And it was raining, I think. And then... she's too proud to tell him... that she's, uh... [starts to cry] crippled. And he's too proud to find out why she doesn't come. But he comes to see her anyway. I forget why, but, oh... Oh, it's so amazing when he comes to see her because... [crying more] he doesn't even notice that she doesn't get up to say hello. And he's very bitter. And you think that he's just gonna walk out the door... and never know why she's just lying there, you know, on the couch... with this blanket over her shriveled little legs. [sobbing]

Jonah Baldwin

Are you all right?

Greg

She's fine.

Suzy

Suddenly he goes, "I already sold the painting." And he like goes to the bedroom... and he looks and he comes out and he looks at her and he kind of just... They know and then they hug. And it's so... [trails off crying]

Sam Baldwin

Well I'm not looking for a mail-order bride! I just want somebody I can have a decent conversation with over dinner. Without it falling down into weepy tears over some movie!

Greg

She's, as you just saw, very emotional.

Sam Baldwin

Although I cried at the end of The Dirty Dozen.

Greg

Who didn't?

Sam Baldwin

Jim Brown was throwing these hand grenades down these airshafts. And Richard Jaeckel and Lee Marvin [Begins to cry] were sitting on top of this armored personnel carrier, dressed up like Nazis...

Greg

[Crying too]

Stop, stop!

Sam Baldwin

And Trini Lopez...

Greg

Yes, Trini Lopez!

Sam Baldwin

He busted his neck while they were parachuting down behind the Nazi lines...

Greg

Stop.

Sam Baldwin

And Richard Jaeckel - at the beginning he had on this shiny helmet...

Greg

[Crying harder]

Please no more. Oh God! I loved that movie.
