Harry and Sally Shop for a Gift, Explained：call off the dogs
Harry and Sally are hunting for a wedding gift, but Harry keeps getting distracted by gadgets — a pith helmet with a fan, then a singing machine he cannot resist. Sally is still chasing a red suede pump. "Call off the dogs. The hunt is over," Harry announces, as if the shopping trip were a hunt.

What's really going on
The shopping trip is the film's comic version of a couple at work: Harry and Sally bicker, get distracted, and end up doing something silly together, which is exactly the shape their friendship keeps taking. Harry's gift ideas are jokes — a pith helmet that prompts "Why is this necessary in life?" — while Sally's hunting has a real goal. The singing machine lets them play, and the movie slips in an older couple's story on the soundtrack of its own themes: an arranged marriage where a man sneaks a look at his bride because "But she looked really nice to me." The scene is light, but it shows the pair already behaving like people who are comfortable together.
Theme
FriendshipShopping together and singing in a store shows Harry and Sally as a comfortable pair long before they admit it.
