17 Quotes That Will Make You Fall In Love With "You've Got Mail"

Arguably one of the best rom coms out there (argued by me, of course), these are the moments that made you wish you lived in New York, worked in the book business, still had dial-up internet, and developed a friendship/relationship with someone online. These are the best quotes to relate to, repeat in your own life, and just generally make you love the “You’ve Got Mail” movie.

- NY152 (Joe Fox)

- Joe Fox (and probably one of the most fun lines to quote from the movie)

"...Someone upsets you and instead of smiling and moving on, you zing them. 'Hello, it's Mr Nasty.'"

- NY152 (Joe Fox)

- Birdie Conrad (and proof that Birdie is the best)

- Shopgirl (Kathleen Kelly)

Joe: "Readers, Dad. They're called readers."

Nelson: "Don't do that, son. Don't romanticize them."

- Nelson Fox

- Kathleen Kelly

"...and saying, "Hey, how about... oh, how about some coffee or, you know, drinks or dinner or a movie... for as long as we both shall live?"

- Joe Fox (and mushy hearts everywhere melted)

So, go watch "You've Got Mail" and cry a little as your heart melts and you quote the entire movie. It's okay, I won't judge.
