A scene from When Harry Met Sally 1989
Marie

"Restaurants are to people in the 80s what theater was to people in the 60s." I read that in a magazine.

Jess

I wrote that.

Marie

Get out of here.

Jess

No, I did. I wrote that.

Marie

I've never quoted anything from a magazine in my life! That's amazing. Don't you think it's amazing? And you wrote it?

Jess

I also wrote "Pesto is the quiche of the 80s."

Marie

Get over yourself.

Jess

I did!

Marie

Where did I read that?

Jess

New York magazine.

Harry

Sally writes for New York magazine.

Marie

You know that piece had a real impact on me, I mean I, I don't know that much about writing but...

Jess

Well, well, it spoke to you, and that pleases me.

Marie

I.. I mean I really.. have.. you have to admire people who can be as... that articulate.

Jess

[Harry and Sally share a look]

Nobody has ever quoted me back to me before.
