When Harry Met Sally... is a 1989 film written by Nora Ephron, and directed by
Rob Reiner. The romantic comedy stars Billy Crystal as Harry and
Meg Ryan as Sally. The film follows the relationship of Harry and Sally from the
time they meet on a shared car ride fom the University of
Chicago to New York through their many years of friendship in New York City.
The film popularized the term "high maintenance" as applied to individuals who are difficult to please.
In early 2004, the film was adapted for the stage in a Theatre Royal Haymarket production starring Luke
Perry and Alyson Hannigan and also Molly Ringwald and Michael Landes.
Warning: Plot details

The film is best known for a scene with the two title characters having lunch in a diner. They are arguing about a man's
ability to recognize when a woman is faking an orgasm. Sally claims men can't tell the
difference, and to prove her point, she vividly (but fully clothed) demonstrates the skill as other diners watch. The scene ends
with Sally casually returning to her meal as a nearby patron, played by Reiner's mother, places her order: "I'll have what she's
having."
