"but I never forgot her"

 

In the movie When Harry Met Sally... there are these brief little interview scenes where an older married couple are speaking to an interviewer.  You don't see the person doing the interview, only the couple.


** wife:  We fell in love in high school.

husband:  Yeah, we were high-school sweethearts.

wife:  But then after our junior year, his parents moved away.


husband:  But I never forgot her.

wife:  He never forgot me.


husband:  Naa-ah, her face was burned on my brain. - And - it was thirty-four years later, that I was walking down Broadway, and I saw her come out of Toffenetti's.  


wife:  We both looked at each other.  And it was just as though not a single day had gone by.


husband:  She was just as beautiful as she was at sixteen.


wife:

(she puts her hand affectionately on his arm) - He was just the same.  -- He looked exactly the same!
