The 1996 movie Jerry Maguire tells the story of a busy sports agent.
-
Jerry Maguire and his wife, Dorothy own a company that legally represents a difficult football player, Rod Tidwell.
-
Dorothy has thoughts about leaving their marriage the same night Tidwell wins a big game.
-
Jerry shares the news with Dorothy.
-
Listen for the words "you had me at hello."
-
Our little project, our company had a very, very big night.
-
But it wasn't complete.
-
I love you.
-
You complete me.
-
- And I just... -Shut up. Just shut up.
-
You had me at hello.
-
What do you think "You had me at hello" means?
-
Is it A) I have loved you since we met or B) There is something we need to talk about?
-
I love you.
-
You complete me. I...
-
Shut up. Just shut up. You had me at hello.
-
The answer is A) I have loved you since we met.
-
Dorothy agrees with Jerry's realization that their love is more meaningful than winning a game.

And that's English at the movies.
