How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Annie Hall.
Quote #1
ALVY: I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light.
Alvy makes it pretty clear, pretty quickly that he finds Los Angeles shallower than a kiddie pool.
Quote #2
ALVY: What did you do, grow up in a Normal Rockwell painting? Your grammy?
Alvy never misses the chance to tease Annie about her Midwestern roots. Her experience was the total opposite of Alvy's under-the-roller-coaster upbringing.
Quote #3
ALVY: I can't believe this family. Annie's mother is really beautiful. And they're talking swap meets and boat basins. The old lady at the end of the table is a classic Jew-hater. They really look American, you know, very healthy, like they never get sick or anything. Nothing like my family. You know, the two are like oil and water.
Annie's family are like aliens to Alvy, which, when it comes to her brother Duane, is understandable.
