Some rom coms are so good they rise above the rest and are canonized in pop culture history, continuing to be referenced again and again for decades to come—and When Harry Met Sally is one of the prime examples. This romantic classic, starring Billy Crystal as Harry Burns and Meg Ryan as Sally Albright, is the blueprint for the friends to lovers trope, proving that while men and women probably can be just friends, some friends are truly just better as lovers.

Here are the funniest and most romantic quotes from the movie:

1.

Harry (Billy Crystal): When I get a new book, I read the last page first. That way, if I die before I finish I know how it comes out. That, my friend, is a dark side.” 

2.

Harry (Billy Crystal): “A woman friend. This is amazing. You may be the first attractive woman I have not wanted to sleep with in my entire life.”

3.

Sally (Meg Ryan): “Harry, you might not believe this, but I never considered not sleeping with you a sacrifice.”

4.

Harry (Billy Crystal): “What I’m saying is—and this is not a come on in any way, shape, or form—is that men and women can’t be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.”

5.

Sally (Meg Ryan): “You look like a normal person, but actually you are the angel of death.”

6.

Harry (Billy Crystal): “You take someone to the airport, it’s clearly the beginning of the relationship. That’s why I have never taken anyone to the airport at the beginning of a relationship. Because eventually things move on and you don’t take someone to the airport, and I never wanted anyone to say to me, ‘How come you never take me to the airport anymore?’”

7.

Sally (Meg Ryan): “All this time I’ve been saying that he didn’t want to get married. But the truth is he didn’t want to marry me. He didn’t love me.”

8.

Sally (Meg Ryan): Oh. Right. That’s right. I forgot. You’re a man.

Harry (Billy Crystal): What was that supposed to mean?

Sally: Nothing. It’s just that all men are sure it never happened to them and all women at one time or other have done it, so you do the math.

9.

Harry (Billy Crystal): Would you like to have dinner? Just friends.

Sally (Meg Ryan): I thought you didn’t believe men and women could be friends.

Harry: When did I say that?

Sally: On the ride to New York.

Harry: No, no, no, I never said that… Yes, that’s right, they can’t be friends. Unless both of them are involved with other people, then they can… This is an amendment to the earlier rule. If the two people are in relationships, the pressure of possible involvement is lifted… That doesn’t work either, because what happens then is, the person you’re involved with can’t understand why you need to be friends with the person you’re just friends with. Like it means something is missing from the relationship and why do you have to go outside to get it? And when you say ;’No, no, no it’s not true, nothing is missing from the relationship,’ the person you’re involved with then accuses you of being secretly attracted to the person you’re just friends with, which you probably are. I mean, come on, who the hell are we kidding, let’s face it. Which brings us back to the earlier rule before the amendment, which is men and women can’t be friends.

10.

Marie (Carrie Fisher): “All I’m saying is that somewhere out there is the man you are supposed to marry. And if you don’t get him first, somebody else will, and you’ll have to spend the rest of your life knowing that somebody else is married to your husband.”

11.

Sally (Meg Ryan): “You are a human affront to all women, and I am a woman.”

12.

Harry (Billy Crystal): “The fact that you’re not answering leads me to believe you’re either (a) not at home, (b) home but don’t want to talk to me, or (c) home, desperately want to talk to me, but trapped under something heavy. If it’s either (a) or (c), please call me back.”

13.

Harry (Billy Crystal): I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and the thing is, I love you.

Sally (Meg Ryan): What?

Harry: I love you.

Sally: How do you expect me to respond to this?

Harry: How about you love me too.

14.

Harry (Billy Crystal): “I love that you get cold when it’s 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” 

15.

Sally (Meg Ryan): “You see? That is just like you, Harry. You say things like that, and you make it impossible for me to hate you.”
