G-d I just LOVE this movie. I've always wondered why the Academy nominated Woody for his work as an actor here and completely neglected him afterwards considering he's fairly one note as an actor and most of his performances are a variation of Alvy Singer. With all that said I still think he was robbed of the Best Actor Oscar.
What was once before you - an exciting, mysterious future - is now behind you. Lived; understood; disappointing. You realize you are not special. You have struggled into existence, and are now slipping silently out of it. This is everyones experience. Every single one. The specifics hardly matter. Everyone is everyone. So you are Adele, Hazel, Claire, Olive. You are Ellen. All her meager sadnesses are yours; all her loneliness; the gray, straw-like hair; her red raw hands. Its yours. It is time for you to understand this.

This is such a cliched phrase, I know - but Woody, and the film itself, is literally a laugh-a-minute. COULD NOT stop laughing.
