How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Annie Hall.
Quote #1
ALVY: I'm sorry. I can't—I've got to see a picture exactly from the start to the finish, 'cause, 'cause I'm anal.
ANNIE: That's a polite word for what you are.
Because they missed mere minutes of the movie, Alvy makes them go to another flick at another theater. Annie's a way more tolerant movie-going partner than we are.
Quote #2
ANNIE: You're so egocentric that if I miss my therapy, you can only think of it in terms of how it affects you.
Alvy has a talent for making everything about him. Hello, neurosis!
Quote #3
ALVY: Sun is bad for you. Everything our parents said was good is bad. Sun, milk, red meat, college.
Sentiments like this are totally in keeping with Alvy's initial admission that, to him, life is divided into two categories: terrible and miserable. Sentiments like this also make him a thoroughly maddening boyfriend.
