(When Harry Met Sally, 1989)

It was in 1977, at the University of Chicago, when the two just graduated. After graduating from law school, Harry was introduced by her girlfriend Amanda (Michelle Nicastro), who took Sally's car to New York to go to journalism. While Harry and Sally go together for an 18-hour trip to New York, they argue brightly about whether men and women can be friends. Harry insists that men and women can never be friends because there is always a distraction between men and women.

Five years later, Harry and Sally, each political adviser and reporter in New York, meet again at the airport, when they are getting married to a woman named Helen Hillson (Sally Ford). Harry sees Sally kissing hard with Joe at the airport. Unfortunately, Harry and Sally, who are on the same plane, are at odds again over their relationship. Harry says to Sally, " Do you know what you're thinking after you go to a woman's house and have sex? How much longer do I have to lie here and hold her before I wake up and go home? Will 30 seconds be enough? ... sure. All men think so. How much longer do you want to be held after sex? All night, right? Look, that's the problem. Somewhere between 30 seconds and all night is your problem. "

Five years later, Harry and Sally meet again at the bookstore, when Harry is about to divorce Helen and Sally is separated from Joe. Since then, they have become friends and talked about all their worries, and sometimes make each other feel lonely. Harry says to Sally, " Good.
