"I thought you said you were decent." - Paula McFadden"I am decent. I also happen to be naked." - Elliot Garfield
My favorite romcom film of all time, Neil Simon's The Goodbye Girl has a winning formula. A great chemistry between the two leads & even the supporting cast and definitely its sparkling screenplay by Neil Simon. Paula McFadden (Marsha Mason) and Elliot Garfield (Richard Dreyfuss) play an individual, her with a daughter to raise and him with a career to make, who forced to become roommates. The battle of the sexes ensues between the two until they find themselves falling in love. David Gates of the group Bread sung the feel-good theme.
The ending is a knockout for the hopeless romantics.
GOODBYE GIRL
sung by: David Gates
All your life you've waited for love to come and stay
And now that I have found you, you must not slip away
I know it's hard believin' the words you've heard before
But darlin' you must trust them just once more
'Cause baby Goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean
We'll never be together again
If you wake up and I'm not there
I won't be long away
'Cause the things you do my Goodbye Girl
Will bring me back toyou
I know you've been taken, afraid to hurt again
You fight the love you feel for me instead of givin' in
But I can wait forever, for helpin' you to see
That I was meant for you and you for me
So remember Goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean
We'll never be together again
Though we may be so far apart you still will have my heart
So forget your past my Goodbye Girl
'Cause now you're home at last
