A scene from When Harry Met Sally 1989
Jess

If she's so great why aren't you taking her out?

Harry

How many times do I have to tell you, we're just friends.

Jess

So you're saying she's not that attractive.

Harry

No, I told you she is attractive.

Jess

Yeah but you also said she has a good personality.

Harry

She has a good personality.

Harry

[Jess stops walking, turns to Harry, raises his arms in the air]

What?

Jess

When someone's not that attractive, they're always described as having a good personality.

Harry

Look, if you had asked me what does she look like and I said, she has a good personality, that means she's not attractive. But just because I happen to mention that she has a good personality, she could be either. She could be attractive with a good personality, or not attractive with a good personality.

Jess

So which one is she?

Harry

Attractive.

Jess

But not beautiful, right?
