Harry Burns:You realize of course that we could never be friends.
Sally Albright:Why not?
Harry Burns: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.
Sally Albright:That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.
Harry Burns:No you don't.
Sally Albright:Yes I do.
Harry Burns:No you don't.
Sally Albright:Yes I do.
Harry Burns:You only think you do.
Sally Albright:You say I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge?
Harry Burns:No, what I'm saying is they all WANT to have sex with you.
Sally Albright:They do not.
Harry Burnso too.
Sally Albright:They do not.
Harry Burnso too.
Sally Albright:How do you know?
Harry Burns:Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
Sally Albright:So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?
Harry Burns:No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too.
Sally Albright:What if THEY don't want to have sex with YOU?
Harry Burnsoesn't matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
Sally Albright:Well, I guess we're not going to be friends then.
Harry Burns:I guess not.
