at that moment, I knew

 

        Another of the interviews with older married couples in the Rob Reiner film, When Harry Met Sally... shows these people talking - 

wife:  Uh, he - was the head counselor at the boys' camp, and I was the head counselor at the girls' camp.  And - they had a social, one night, and he walked across the room.

        I thought he was coming to talk to my friend, Maxine.  -  'Cause people were always crossing rooms to talk to Maxine.


        But he was coming to talk to me.


        And he said --

husband:  I'm Ben Small.  Of the Coney Island Smalls.  


wife:  At that moment, I knew. 

I knew, the way you know about a good melon.
