Quotes 

  • Jonathan : This is the ultimate blend to drink. How'd you find this place?

    Sara : I first came in because of the name: Serendipity. It's one of my favorite words.

    Jonathan : It is? Why?

    Sara : It's such a nice sounding word for what it means: a fortunate accident.

  • Sara : Okay. Favorite movie.

    Jonathan : The correct answer is Cool Hand Luke.

    Sara : I've never seen it.

    Jonathan : Oh, come on. You've never seen Cool Hand Luke? Paul Newman? Oh my god. Come on! "Failure to communicate." Sadistic cop in sunglasses with no name. Reminds me of you in that way.

    Sara : Um, favorite New York moment.

    Jonathan : This one's climbing the charts.

  • Jonathan : Maybe the absence of signs is a sign.

  • Sara : You don't have to understand. You just have to have faith.

    Jonathan : Faith in what?

    Sara : Destiny

  • Jonathan : Let's go do something.

    Sara : Alright, what d'ya wanna do?

    Jonathan : I don't care.

    Sara : Alright, come on.

  • Jonathan : I hope you enjoy the gloves you bought yourself.

    Sara : Oh, I'm sure I will, I usually enjoy my own thoughtfulness.

  • Jonathan : Maybe I am just getting cold feet.

    Dean : I'm telling you right now British women do not age well. Eight years ago she was a luscious treat, you know, she probably looked like, you know, Baby Spice, now she could look like...

    Jonathan : Old Spice.

  • [at Bloomingdale's] 

    Jonathan : Happy anniversary.

    Sara : When did you get to be so unabashedly romantic?

    Jonathan : I think that it's good luck that we return each year to the scene of the crime.

    [pours a paper cup of champagne] 

    Jonathan : Cheers.

    Sara : Cheers.

    Bloomingdale's Salesman : Oh, I don't think so, no beverages on the premises, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

    Jonathan : Hey, how are you doing? Don't you remember me?

    Bloomingdale's Salesman : Yes I do.

    Jonathan : This is her, This is the girl!

    Bloomingdale's Salesman : Ms. Carbon-copy.

    Jonathan : Yes.

    Bloomingdale's Salesman : I see.

    Jonathan : This is the guy who helped me find you!

    Sara : Oh, hi!

    Bloomingdale's Salesman : If you're not going to purchase anything, please make room for paying customers.

    Jonathan : We do, we want some gloves, some cashmere gloves.

    [closing bell rings] 

    Bloomingdale's Salesman : Oh, I'm sorry, that would be the closing bell. Perhaps tomorrow...

    Sara : You're not serious...

    Bloomingdale's Salesman : Store hours 10 to 7 except Sundays and holidays.

    Jonathan : He warms up...

    Bloomingdale's Salesman : At the discretion of management or with the possible visit of dignitaries...

    [Sara goes behind the counter] 

    Bloomingdale's Salesman : No, no, no, no, please, on the other side of the counter! You cannot come back here, this is for authorized personnel only, please stay on your side of the counter, thank you very much!

  • Jonathan : So are you gonna meet your boyfriend now or what?

    Sara : No, I think he's out probably doing what you're doing.

    Jonathan : Getting a crush on somebody else's girlfriend? No, I'm sorry, I just meant I had a really nice time. You know, maybe you should give me your phone number. Just in case.

    Sara : In case of what?

    Jonathan : In case of life. I just had a really great time and for all we know I wouldn't be able to find you again.

    Sara : Well, if we're meant to meet again, we'll meet again. it's just not the right time now.

    Jonathan : Maybe we're supposed to meet on British time and we're five hours too early.

  • Jonathan : Forget about privacy laws. You know what privacy laws do?

    Leasing Office Temp : No.

    Jonathan : They protect millionaires. You know who those millionaires are?

    Leasing Office Temp : Who?

    Jonathan : Tell him who they are. Tell him.

    Dean : Kids your age. Pimple-faced college drop outs who have made unhealthy sums of money forming internet companies that create no concrete products, provide no viable services, and still manage to generate profits for all of its lazy day-trading son-of-a bitch shareholders. Meanwhile, as a tortured member of the disenfranchised proletariat, you find some altruistic need to protect these digital plantation-owners?

    Jonathan : [reacting to Dean's speech]  Wow!

    [to Temp] 

    Jonathan : Come on.

  • Dean : What's wrong? You all right?

    Jonathan : Her name's Sara Thomas.

    [Jonathan hands Dean the book] 

    Dean : How?

    Jonathan : Halley gave it to me as a wedding present.

  • Jonathan : It's like Halley is "The Godfather Part 2".

    Dean : She's what?

    Jonathan : "The Godfather Part 2"! That was an incredible movie. Might be better than the original, alright? But don't matter how much you love "The Godfather Part 2", you still have to see the original to understand and appreciate the sequel.

  • Jonathan : You are a strange and interesting woman.

  • Jonathan : [man takes black cashmire gloves]  Whoa, whoa, whoa, sir, there are ours.

    Customer at Bloomingdale's : Oh, your gloves? Well how come, I mean, they're just sorta hanging there. Sleeping with their little price tag on

    Jonathan : We were just discussing them. This is uhh...

    Customer at Bloomingdale's : Well I have news for you, you can go on discussing them long after I've paid for them.

    Jonathan : Listen, just calm down, all right. Just calm down.

    Customer at Bloomingdale's : [to Sara]  It's 5 days before Christmas and I'm in the middle of a New York department store and he's asking me to calm down?

    Jonathan : Listen these were meant to be a very special gift for someone.

    Sara : Yeah, we've put quite a lot of thought into those.

    Customer at Bloomingdale's : Aww, is that right? Well, who were they for?

    Jonathan : [says simultaneously with Sara]  My girlfriend. Her boyfriend.

    Sara : [says simultaneously with Jon]  My boyfriend. His girlfriend.

    Customer at Bloomingdale's : One pair of gloves for two people?

    Jonathan : This is hard to explain.

    Customer at Bloomingdale's : Try.

    Jonathan : [to Sara]  All right, go ahead.

    Sara : Oh, uh, well he is at the present time my boyfriend...

    Jonathan : ...but in 18 months...

    Sara : ...after the operation

    Jonathan : ...he will be...

    Sara : ...she will be...

    Jonathan : ...my girlfriend. Do you understand?

  • Dean : You're the shit!

    [man next to him on plane looks over at him thinking he's talking to him] 

    Jonathan : [to the guy]  That would be me, the shit.

  • Jonathan : Happy Anniversary.

    Sara : When did you get to be so UNABASHEDLY romantic?

    Jonathan : I think that it's good luck that we return each year to the scene of the crime.

  • [Jonathan is trying to get Sara's information from her old Bloomingdale's account] 

    Jonathan : Would $20 help?

    Bloomingdale's Salesman : It might if I were a health inspector.

  • [Jon referring to Halley hitting the Smoke Detector with some blunt object] 

    Jonathan : Don't hit it with the thing!

  • Jonathan : I'm John.

    [he smiles] 

    Sara : I'm Sara.
