Improv group recreates infamous 'When Harry Met Sally' deli scene

When Harry Met Sally is pretty much universally known as one of the best romantic comedies of our time. Nora Ephron's work features the hilarious and banter-filled relationship between Meg Ryan's character and that of Billy Crystal.

The film introduced us to the humor of male and female relationships, maybe of the more verbally eccentric and expressive type. It doesn't get more expressive than Ryan's performance at the historic Katz's Delicatessen in New York City. For those of you who might not remember or know, this was the classic scene when Sally attempted, quite affectively, to show Harry that women can convincingly "fake it" in bed. The scene provided us with one of the most famous quotes from the movie when a woman eating near by says, "I'll have what she's having."

To honor that moment and the film itself, 20 women with NYC's Improv Everywhere, which defines itself as a "prank collective that causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places," decided to surprise guests and the staff with an unannounced flash mob moment, recreating the infamous scene.

The improv group's website claims, "This was staged without the knowledge of the restaurant, though thankfully they all seemed to love it." It appears that most people picked up on it pretty quick.

This Sally moment was part of a new series the group has scheduled called Movies In Real Life, in which they will release a video each Tuesday of their most recent display of an iconic movie moment.
