When Harry Met Sally Read Online Free PDF

    What do you mean? I can remember. Amanda. Right? Amanda Rice.
    SALLY     Reese.
    HARRY     Reese, right. That’s what I said. Whatever happened to her?
    SALLY     I have no idea.
    HARRY     You have no idea? You were really good friends with her. We didn’t make it because you were such good friends.
    SALLY     You went with her.
    HARRY     And was it worth it? This sacrifice for a friend you haven’t even kept in touch with?
    SALLY     Harry, you might not believe this, but I never considered not sleeping with you a sacrifice.
    HARRY     Fair enough, fair enough.
    After a beat:
    HARRY     ( CONT’D )    You were going to be a gymnast.
    SALLY     A journalist.
    HARRY     Right, that’s what I said. And?
    SALLY     I’m a journalist. I work at the
News
.
    HARRY     Great. And you’re with Joe.
    Sally nods
.
    HARRY     ( CONT’D )    Well, that’s great. Great. You’re together—what—three weeks?
    SALLY     A month. How did you know that?
    HARRY     You take someone to the airport, it’s clearly the beginning of a relationship. That’s why I’ve never taken anyone to the airport at the beginning of a relationship.
    SALLY     Why?
    HARRY     Because eventually things move on and you don’t take someone to the airport, and I never wanted anyone to say to me, “How come you never take me to the airport anymore?”
    SALLY     It’s amazing. You look like a normal person, but actually you’re the Angel of Death.
    HARRY     Are you going to marry him?
    SALLY     We’ve only known each other a month, andbesides, neither one of us is looking to get married right now.
    HARRY     I’m getting married.
    SALLY     You are?
    HARRY     
(matter-of-factly)
    Um-hmm.
    SALLY     
You
are?
    HARRY     Yeah.
    SALLY     Who is she?
    HARRY     Helen Hillson. She’s a lawyer. She’s keeping her name.
    SALLY     
(shakes her head)
    You’re getting married.
    She laughs
.
    HARRY     Yeah. What’s so funny about it?
    SALLY     It’s just so optimistic of you, Harry.
    HARRY     Well, you’d be amazed what falling madly in love can do for you.
    SALLY     Well, it’s wonderful. It’s nice to see you embracing life in this manner.
    HARRY     Yeah, plus, you know, you just get to a certain point where you get tired of the whole thing.
    SALLY     What whole thing?
    HARRY     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 man’s overbite, you go back to her place, you have sex, and the minute you’re 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     That’s what you’re thinking? Is that true?
    HARRY     Sure. All men think that. How long do you like to be held afterwards? All night, right? See, that’s the problem. Somewhere between thirty seconds and all night is your problem.
    SALLY     I don’t have a problem.
    HARRY     Yeah you do.
