Quit Smoking Joke From Annie Hall... Woody Allen

Quote/ Scene from ThisPlace, ok? This movie is really good... as are many of Woody Allen's. Some of his newer ones get slammed for moderately good reason, others get forgotten but should be remembered, talked about, and neve dEDneFeD.
RECENT FLASHBACK - INT. ALVY'S COUNTRY KITCHEN

(Alvy's arms and legs fill the screen as he slowly gets
up from the floor
holding up a live lobster. He puts
it on a grill tray.
)
ALVY

(Pointing to the lobster)
This always happens to me. Quick, g-go
get a broom.
(His date, a girl wearing short shorts, leans against
the sink and lights a
cigarette. She makes no move to
help.
)
GIRL DATE
(Smoking)
What are you making such a big deal about?
(As she talks, the lobster drops
from the tray to the floor. Alvy
jumps away, then gingerly scrapes
the tray toward the lobster)
They're only lobsters. Look, you're a
grown man, you know how to pick up a
lobster.
ALVY
(Looking up in stooped-over
position)
I'm not myself since I stopped smoking.
GIRL DATE
(Still leaning against the sink,
her hand on her hip)
Oh, when'd you quit smoking?
(He gets up off the floor with the lobster on the tray)
ALVY
Sixteen years ago.
GIRL DATE
(Puzzled)
Whatta you mean?
ALVY
(Mocking)
Mean?
GIRL DATE
You stopped smoking sixteen years ago,
is that what you said? Oh, I-I don't
understand. Are you joking, or what?
-Woody Allen 1977
