I absolutely love this movie, and really love how Woody Allen put Fred Astaire in at the end, because I am a BIG Astaire fan.

Anyways, that's not the point of this post. I'm trying to find the exact wording of a certain quote that was said in the movie, the one that says something along the lines of, 'Real people want to be fiction, and fiction people want to be real'. Could anyone help me out with that? It's one of my favorite quotes in the movie.

What's your favorite quote?

I don't know about yours, but my favourite quote is:
"I met a wonderful new man. He's fictional but you can't have everything."
it's true. you can't always have everything

Its not until you lose everything that you are free to do anything
