One of my favorite movies of all time, When Harry Met Sally.
Harry to Sally: "I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
"You see? That is just like you, Harry. You say things like that, and you make it impossible for me to hate you."
Another one of my favorites. Harry and Sally are in a restaurant and Sally is explaining why her and her boyfriend (whom she's had great sex with) broke up.
Sally: Well, if you must know, it was because he was very jealous, and I had these days of the week underpants.
Harry: Ehhhh. I'm sorry. I need the judges ruling on this. "Days of the weeks underpants"?
Sally: Yes. They had the days of the week on them, and I thought they were sort of funny. And then one day Sheldon says to me, "You never wear Sunday." It was all suspicious. Where was Sunday? Where had I left Sunday? And I told him, and he didn't believe me.
Harry: What?
Sally: They don't make Sunday.
Harry: Why not?
Sally: Because of God
The way her voice inflects on God is one of my favorite things.
Harry: "On the side" is a very big thing for you.
Followed by,
Sally: Well, I just want it the way I want it.
Harry: I know; high maintenance.
I have a lot of similarities to Sally's particularity when it comes to ordering. I hate drive thru's for this very reason. I know a guy is worth keeping around when he learns my ordering routines and eating patterns.
