* Saying Goodbye to Another Year *

One of my favorite movies is "When Harry Met Sally." There are so many great scenes and dialogue in it, but for tonight I must post a very appropriate one. It's at the New Year's Eve party. Harry just told Sally how much he loves her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. After a little while, it's midnight and people begin to sing "Auld Lang Syne."  Following is their dialogue:




Harry:  My whole life I have never known what this song means.


Sally: I know exactly what you mean.


Harry: I mean, should old acquaintances be forgot. Does that mean we should forget old acquaintances, or does it mean if we do happen to forget them, we should remember them, which is not possible because we forgot them…..


Sally: Maybe you're just supposed to remember you forgot them, or something – anyway it's about old friends.

  1. It's a haunting old tune...to raise a cup to those forgotten and old times long gone. A sad kind of thing to sing at the start of a new year. Happy New Year to you and yours.

  4. I'm embarrassed to admit that all I remember about that movie is the deli scene.

  16. I don't know what that song means either. Congrats on all of your new followers, Becky. You have tons compared to me, but it didn't help when I got mad and removed my widget, lol.

  17. I just saw this post and it really made me smile, as this is one of my favorite movies ever as well. And, I was thinking about this scene myself on New Year's Eve! I love the melancholy feeling of that song.

    A belated Happy New Year to you, Becky!!
