And he knew what to do with a good screenplay and good actors.

And part of the pleasure of watching them all congeal, just come together and, you know, transmogrify into this, like, amazing...

experience of just feeling right I mean you watch the princess bride and it's all exuberance you watch when Harry met Sally and it's just whatever you believe about people getting together and like spending time with each other and communicating it's amazing you look like a normal person but actually you are the angel of death are you gonna marry him we have only known each other for a month and besides neither one of us is looking to get married right now I'm getting married

I think When Harry Met Sally, to me, it's the peak of all his priorities as a filmmaker.

The human part, the love part...

And obviously, if you're gonna boil this movie down to one scene, it's the diner scene, right?

It's the deli scene.

Meg Ryan, Sally, and Billy Crystal, who's Harry, these people have been friends now for a few years.

And they are very familiar with the cadences of each other's dating and sex lives.

They go to have lunch one day, and they proceed to talk about Harry's latest disappointment romantically.

It's not working out.

It's not working out, and she's gone, and he has moved on.

And she's like, well, you probably wouldn't know that a woman's never been satisfied by you.

I mean, how do I know I know?

And he's like, I think I would know because I was there.

I created the satisfaction.

And she's like, Meg Ryan, Sally, says, well... Why?

I'm telling you that most women at some point in their lives have faked it.

Well, they haven't faked it with me.

Because I know.
