What do you mean? I can remember. Amanda. Right? Amanda Rice.
SALLY Â Â Â Â Reese.
HARRY Â Â Â Â Reese, right. Thatâs what I said. Whatever happened to her?
SALLY Â Â Â Â I have no idea.
HARRY Â Â Â Â You have no idea? You were really good friends with her. We didnât make it because you were such good friends.
SALLY Â Â Â Â You went with her.
HARRY Â Â Â Â And was it worth it? This sacrifice for a friend you havenât even kept in touch with?
SALLY Â Â Â Â Harry, you might not believe this, but I never considered not sleeping with you a sacrifice.
HARRY Â Â Â Â Fair enough, fair enough.
After a beat:
HARRY Â Â Â Â ( CONTâD )Â Â Â Â You were going to be a gymnast.
SALLY Â Â Â Â A journalist.
HARRY Â Â Â Â Right, thatâs what I said. And?
SALLY Â Â Â Â Iâm a journalist. I work at the
News
.
HARRY Â Â Â Â Great. And youâre with Joe.
Sally nods
.
HARRY Â Â Â Â ( CONTâD )Â Â Â Â Well, thatâs great. Great. Youâre togetherâwhatâthree weeks?
SALLY Â Â Â Â A month. How did you know that?
HARRY Â Â Â Â You take someone to the airport, itâs clearly the beginning of a relationship. Thatâs why Iâve never taken anyone to the airport at the beginning of a relationship.
SALLY Â Â Â Â Why?
HARRY Â Â Â Â Because eventually things move on and you donât take someone to the airport, and I never wanted anyone to say to me, âHow come you never take me to the airport anymore?â
SALLY Â Â Â Â Itâs amazing. You look like a normal person, but actually youâre the Angel of Death.
HARRY Â Â Â Â Are you going to marry him?
SALLY Â Â Â Â Weâve only known each other a month, andbesides, neither one of us is looking to get married right now.
HARRY Â Â Â Â Iâm getting married.
SALLY Â Â Â Â You are?
HARRY Â Â Â Â
(matter-of-factly)
    Um-hmm.
SALLY Â Â Â Â
You
are?
HARRY Â Â Â Â Yeah.
SALLY Â Â Â Â Who is she?
HARRY Â Â Â Â Helen Hillson. Sheâs a lawyer. Sheâs keeping her name.
SALLY Â Â Â Â
(shakes her head)
    Youâre getting married.
She laughs
.
HARRY Â Â Â Â Yeah. Whatâs so funny about it?
SALLY Â Â Â Â Itâs just so optimistic of you, Harry.
HARRY Â Â Â Â Well, youâd be amazed what falling madly in love can do for you.
SALLY Â Â Â Â Well, itâs wonderful. Itâs nice to see you embracing life in this manner.
HARRY Â Â Â Â Yeah, plus, you know, you just get to a certain point where you get tired of the whole thing.
SALLY Â Â Â Â What whole thing?
HARRY Â Â Â Â The whole life-of-a-single-guy thing. You meet someone, you have the safe lunch, you decide you like each other enough to move on to dinner, you go dancing, you do the white manâs overbite, you go back to her place, you have sex, and the minute youâre finished, you know what goes through your mind?
(Sally shakes her head no)
How long do I have to lie here and hold her before I can get up and go home? Is thirty seconds enough?
SALLY Â Â Â Â Thatâs what youâre thinking? Is that true?
HARRY Â Â Â Â Sure. All men think that. How long do you like to be held afterwards? All night, right? See, thatâs the problem. Somewhere between thirty seconds and all night is your problem.
SALLY Â Â Â Â I donât have a problem.
HARRY Â Â Â Â Yeah you do.
