When Harry Met Sally Page #3

~ You like tomato, I like tom-ahto

~ Potato, pot-ahto

~ Tomato, tom-ahto

~ Let's call the whole thing off

- We fell in love in high school.

- Yeah, we were high-school sweethearts.

But then after our junior year

his parents moved away.

- But I never forgot her.

- He never forgot me.

No, her face was burned on my brain.

And it was 34 years later

that I was walking down Broadway

and I saw her come out of Toffenetti's.

We both looked at each other,

and it was just as though

not a single day had gone by.

She was just as beautiful

as she was at sixteen.

He was just the same.

He looked exactly the same.

FIVE YEARS LATER

Joe! I thought it was you.

I thought it was you.

- Harry Burns.

- Harry. How ya doin'?

- Good. How you doin'?

- Fine. I'm doin' fine.

I was just walking by

and I thought it was you.

Yeah, it was.

- You still with the DA's office?

- No, I switched to the other side. You?

I work with a small firm. We do

political consulting. Yeah, it's great.

Harry, this is Sally Albright. Harry Burns.

Harry and I, we used to...

We lived in the same building.

Well, listen, I got a plane to catch.

It was good to see you, Joe. Bye.

Thank God he couldn't place me. I drove

to New York with him five years ago

and it was the longest night of my life.

- What happened?

- He made a pass at me. When I said no:

he was going with a girlfriend of mine...

Oh, God. I can't remember her name.

Don't get involved with me. I am 26

and can't remember the name of the girl

I was such good friends with

I wouldn't get involved with her boyfriend.

- So what happened?

- When?

When he made a pass, you said no...

I said we could just be friends.

And this part I remember. He said men

and women could never really be friends.

Do you think that's true?

No.

Do you have any women friends,

just friends?

No.

But I will get one if it's important to you.

Amanda Reese!

That was her name. Thank God.

I will miss you. I love you.

- You do?

- Yes.

I love you.

- What would you like to drink?

- Nothing, thanks.

- D'you have any Bloody Mary mix?

- Yes.

No, wait. Here's what I want. Regular

tomato juice, fill it up three quarters,

then add a splash of Bloody Mary mix -

just a splash - and some lime on the side.

The University of Chicago, right?

- Yes.

- Did you look this good at university?

- No.

- Did we ever...?

No. No!

We drove from Chicago to New York

together after graduation.

- Would you two like to sit together?

- Great! Thank you.

You were a good friend of...

Amanda's. I can't believe

you can't remember her name.

What do you mean?

I can remember. Amanda Rice.

- Reese.

- Reese, right. What happened to her?
