2) Annie and Alvy’s meet-cute (meet-awkward). True to my own life, sadly, but fun and funny as hell.
3) Of course: “you know nothing of my work”
4) Lobsters loose in the kitchen, first time charming, second time sad.
5) Walken in Wisconsin
6) The unabashed love of New York as the only place anyone ought to want to be, or be from.
7) The “Love Fades” scene, the one I always want to remember and have finally written down (52:46, if you’re following at home). Alvy walks up to an attractive blond couple:
Alvy: You look like a really happy couple, are you?
Woman: Yeah
Alvy: How do you account for it?
Woman: Uh, I’m very shallow and empty and I have no ideas and nothing interesting to say.
Man: I’m exactly the same way
8) Flashback to Alvy’s childhood, his parents have discovered their maid has been stealing from them. Their oh-so-liberal response: “She’s a colored woman from Harlem, she’s got a right to steal; if not from us than from who?
9) Annie and Alvy’s side-by-side psychoanalysis.
Alvy’s Analyst: How often do you have sex?
Alvy: Hardly ever, three times a week
Annie’s Analyst, same question
Annie: All the time! Three times a week.
10) Cocaine.
