How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Annie Hall.
Quote #7
ALVY: Don't tell me we're going to have to walk from the car to the house. Jeez, my feet haven't touched pavement since I reached Los Angeles.
He's even bitter about getting a ride? We're starting to think there's no way La La Land could ever win Alvy over.
Quote #8
TONY: But you guys are still—you're still New Yorkers.
ALVY: Yeah, I love it there.
TONY: Oh, I used to live there. I used to live there for years, you know. But it's gotten, it's so dirty now.
ALVY: I'm into garbage. It's my thing.
Sarcasm is one of Alvy's chief weapons. (Remember Pam the Rolling Stone reporter and Alvy's raccoon with hepatitis?) When Tony disses New York, Alvy defends The Big Apple and just gets defensive, period.
Quote #9
ALVY: You're an actor, Max. You should be doing Shakespeare in the Park.
ROB: Oh, I did Shakespeare in the Park, Max. I got mugged. I was playing Richard II, and two guys with leather jackets stole my leotard.
It's worth noting, Shmooper, that the movie's characterizations of both Los Angeles and New York often resort to stereotype. Los Angeles is insipid and image-obsessed. New York is dirty and crime-ridden—although what, exactly, a couple of thugs would want with a leotard is beyond us.
