The Movie: Annie Hall, 1977 (Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman, screenwriters; Woody Allen, dir.)
Who says it: Shelley Hack as one half of a beautiful couple Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) stops on the street.
The context: Alvy asks Shelley Hack and her companion (James Burge) the secret to their apparently happy relationship. This is her response, to which her companion adds, "And I'm exactly the same way."
How you can use it: When you've run out of conversation.

Back at full brainpower tomorrow, I hope.
