fine, jenni, have it your way

he said: in my life, i’ve had a lot of female friends. the prevailing logic is that it’s because I wanted sex and she didn’t. while this may or may not have been true in my life, it definitely wasn’t the case in when harry met sally. this movie made it okay to simply forget that at some point you wanted to sleep with your female friend, but that doesn’t always make it the only reason you’re still friends. not every guy is just hanging around waiting for his opportunity, he simply has it in the back of his head that at some point it might happen and that wouldn’t be the end of the world.

jenni: the scene with the sandwich was pretty funny
jenni: That about sums up my feelings on When Harry Met Sally
daroff: but there’s so much more to it than that
jenni: I wouldn’t know, I fell asleep watching it for the first time
daroff: it’s the quintessential guy/girl friendship movie
jenni: but they do it
daroff: but um
jenni: that’s not friendship
daroff: but if you ignore the ending, it’s about guy/girl friendship. does this mean you and i aren’t really friends?
daroff: they’re close, they share things
jenni: yeah, like their penises in their vaginas

jenni: that’s fuck buddies
daroff: hold on, i’m saying ignore that stuff and it’s about a really strong friendship
jenni: they do it and it fucks things up, it’s the whole point of the movie, right?
daroff: but it’s a cautionary tale. if you have a friend of the opposite sex, don’t sleep with them
jenni: I didn’t see the end…did they work it out? Fall in love? What?
jenni: Call spoiler alert first
daroff: okay yes, in the end they fall in love and get married and they become this really cute married couple that finishes each others sentences and it’s totally adorable
daroff: but ignore that
jenni: yeah, the scene with the sandwich was killer
daroff: they share things and enjoy the same things and he can get the female perspective like he can’t get from his friend, Bruno Kirby (RIP)
daroff: it’s not just about the sandwich
jenni: BRUNO!
jenni: Him, I liked
jenni: Yes, it’s not about the sandwich
daroff: nora ephron’s screenplay was brilliant
daroff: all the stuff about casablanca
jenni: it’s about how awesome women are at pretend orgasming
jenni: It was brilliant until she sold out on the ending!
daroff: the scene where Harry finds out his wife is leaving him, you know, the “don’t fuck with mr. zero” scene
jenni: Harry was married?
daroff: did you watch the movie at all?
jenni: …
jenni: SHE HAS SPOKEN!
daroff: …
daroff: waiter, there is too much pepper in my poprikosh, but i would be proud to partake of your pecan pie
jenni: Okay, let’s go do it now
daroff: wait, what?
