Another older-couple interview in When Harry Met Sally... - the husband and wife in this interview, telling their story of how they met, they overlap, and talk over each other - it's so funny, and typical....

husband: We both grew up - one block away from each other...!
wife: We lived in tenements -

wife: On Delancey Street.
husband: My family moved to the Bronx

husband: For six years, she worked - on the fifth floor, as a nurse...
wife: I worked for a very prominent neurologist...
husband: ...Where I had a practice, on the fourteenth floor, the very same building...
wife: (in a hushed tone) - "We - never - met."
husband: ...(same hushed tone) - Never (nev-ah) met.
wife: Can you imagine that?
husband: You know where we met? In an elevator...
wife: I was visiting ...
husband: In the Ambassador Hotel in Chicago.
wife: He was on the third floor, I was on the twelfth.
