Harry and Sally Become Friends, Explained：as hard as nails
After years of bickering, Harry and Sally decide to try friendship. Their talk slides from breakups to the past, and Harry's compliments keep landing wrong: "It sounds like a compliment, but really it's an insult." By the end he asks her to dinner, and they agree that they are, at last, becoming friends.

What's really going on
What looks like a truce is really the film's experiment beginning. Harry and Sally have spent years telling each other they could never be friends, and here they set out to prove the opposite — with compliments that keep tripping over old grievances. Harry's "You're much softer now" is meant kindly and heard as an attack, which Sally names outright: "It sounds like a compliment, but really it's an insult." The old argument about why they never slept together resurfaces too, and Harry's attempt to apologize on a legal technicality — "What's the statute of limitations on apologies?" — shows how carefully he avoids saying anything plainly. The dinner invitation is the real turn: it is the first time either of them risks wanting the other's company without a joke to hide behind.
Theme
FriendshipHarry and Sally test whether they can be friends, the question the whole film keeps returning to.
RomanceTheir teasing and the dinner invitation hide attraction, even as they insist this is only friendship.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Harry offer to buy Sally dinner?
They have been getting along better and are ready to try being friends. The invitation is his way of starting that friendship properly, even though he frames it casually.
What is Sally's complaint about Harry's compliments?
Remarks like you're much softer now sound nice but carry a judgement. She says they are insults dressed as compliments, because they imply she used to be worse.
What does Harry apologize for?
Their old falling-out, when he could not accept that she did not want to sleep with him. He raises it half-seriously by asking about the statute of limitations on apologies.
What coincidence do they discover?
They grew up only a block apart and were even in the same hospital a week apart as children, yet never met until they were adults sharing a drive.
