When Harry Met Sally by Nora Ephron Page A

doesn’t look like a baby.
    Sally now has drawn what looks like arrows on lines coming out of the mouth
.
    HARRY     It’s a big-mouth baby. Mick Jagger as a baby.
    JESS     Baby ape! Baby ape!
    ALICE     Baby’s breath.
    HARRY     
(overlap)
    Rosemary’s Baby’s mouth.
    JESS     “Won’t you come home, Bill Baby?”
    ALICE     
(overlap)
    Kiss the baby!
    HARRY     Melancholy Baby’s mouth!
    JESS     Baby fish mouth!
    JULIAN     Fifteen seconds.
    ALICE     Baby boom!
    Sally is getting frustrated, can do nothing but draw more arrows out of the mouth
.
    JESS     Draw something resembling anything!
    ALICE     … Kiss the baby …
    HARRY     
(overlap)
    Baby spitting up. Exorcist baby!
    ALICE     “Yes, sir, that’s my baby.”
    HARRY     “No, sir, don’t mean maybe.”
    JULIAN     That’s it. Time’s up.
    SALLY     Baby talk.
    JESS     Baby talk? What’s that? That’s not a saying.
    HARRY     Oh, but “baby fish mouth” is sweeping the nation.
    GARY     Final score: our team, 110, you guys, 60.
    SALLY     
(to Julian)
    I can’t draw.
    JULIAN     No. That’s a baby, and that’s a baby talking. You’re wonderful.
    He puts his arms around her
.
    MARIE     All right, who wants coffee?
    Sally and Julian kiss. Harry looks on
.
    JESS     I do, and I love you.
    ALICE     Do you have any tea?
    MARIE     One tea.
    Harry holds up his hand
.
    HARRY     Industrial strength.
    EMILY     I’ll have tea also.
    SALLY     I’ll help you.
(to Julian)
Decaf?
    JULIAN     Yeah.
    ALICE     Cream.
    EMILY     
(to Marie)
Where’s the bathroom?
    MARIE     Through that door, down the hall.
    Emily and Harry kiss as she heads away. Sally notices this
.
    Jess and Julian are at the drawing board, examining Sally’s “baby” drawing
.
    JESS     Never looked like a baby to me.
    JULIAN     Which part?
    JESS     All of it.
    HARRY     Hey, Jess, you were going to show me the cover art for your book.
    JESS     Oh, yeah, yeah. It’s in the den.
(to Julian)
Look, uh, Julian, help yourself—have some more wine, whatever you like, okay?
(to Harry)
I like saying it’s in the den. It’s got a nice ring to it.
    INT. KITCHEN—NIGHT
    Sally and Marie go about getting the coffee ready
.
    SALLY     Emily’s a little young for Harry, don’t you think?
    MARIE     Well, she’s young, but look what she’s done.
    SALLY     What has she done? She makes desserts.
    INT. DEN—NIGHT
    HARRY     Does Julian seem a little stuffy to you?
    JESS     He’s a good guy. You should talk to him, get to know him.
    HARRY     He’s too tall to talk to.
    INT. KITCHEN—NIGHT
    MARIE     She makes 3,500 chocolate mousse pies a week.

    JESS     He took us all to a Mets game last week. It was great.

    HARRY     But Sally hates baseball.
    INT. KITCHEN—NIGHT
    SALLY     Harry doesn’t even like sweets.
