GEORGE: You’ve never
really looked at me.
AMALIA: I’m looking at
you right now- and shall I tell you what I see? A smug, pompous, petty
tyrant-very sure of himself and very ambitious.
But I see him ten
years from now- selling shampoo.
And twenty years from
now-selling shampoo.
And thirty years from
now still selling shampoo!
Because, basically,
you know what he is? Just a not-very-bright, not-very-handsome, not-very-young
man with balding hair and the personality of a python!
Is this a couple you want to get together? Oddly enough yes.
She Loves Me is a rare romcom where neither of the sparring lovers has to rewrite their
personality to come together at the final curtain. By
setting them in a larger workplace drama we see the tensions
that are causing them to lash out and the good qualities that will make them
compatible when they take the time to really see each other. The show loses
money in a large house but delights in a black box.
