Quotes
 Harry Burns: 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. Harry Burns: It is so nice when you can sit with someone and not have to talk.
Friendship
Harry Burns: We`re talking dream date compared to my horror. It started out fine, she`s a very nice person, and we`re sitting and we`re talking at this Ethiopian restaurant that she wanted to go to. And I was making jokes, you know like, "Hey I didn`t know that they had food in Ethiopia? This will be a quick meal. I`ll order two empty plates and we can leave." Yeah, nothing from her not even a smile.
Dating
Harry Burns: Would you like to have dinner?... Just friends.
Sally Albright: I thought you didn`t believe men and women could be friends.
Harry Burns: When did I say that?
Sally Albright: On the ride to New York.
Harry Burns: No, no, no, I never said that... Yes, that`s right, they can`t be friends. Unless both of them are involved with other people, then they can... This is an amendment to the earlier rule. If the two people are in relationships, the pressure of possible involvement is lifted... That doesn`t work either, because what happens then is, the person you`re involved with can`t understand why you need to be friends with the person you`re just friends with. Like it means something is missing from the relationship and why do you have to go outside to get it? And when you say "No, no, no it`s not true, nothing is missing from the relationship," the person you`re involved with then accuses you of being secretly attracted to the person you`re just friends with, which you probably are. I mean, come on, who the hell are we kidding, let`s face it. Which brings us back to the earlier rule before the amendment, which is men and women can`t be friends.
Romance
Harry Burns: There are two kinds of women: high maintenance and low maintenance.
Sally Albright: Which one am I?
Harry Burns: You`re the worst kind. You`re high maintenance but you think you`re low maintenance.
