TAKE SEVENTEEN

The Good-Bye Girl

The date movie is so very important in my mind.  The first movie I took Ellen to while we were dating was a midnight showing of “The Good-bye Girl.”  The scene where Marsha Mason walks in on nude and guitar playing Richard Dreyfuss is where I heard Ellen laugh right out loud for the first time:


Mason:         “I thought you said you were decent!”

Dreyfuss:      “I am decent.  I’m also naked.”
