Answer: Elaine's

They meet at Elaine's restaurant for drinking and conversation. Woody Allen's character lights a cigarette and his girlfriend says, "You don't smoke." He says, "I know I don't smoke.

4. Does Isaac quit his job?

Answer: Yes

Isaac works as a writer for a television show called, "Human Beings, Wow!" He is dissatisfied with the quality of the show and doesn't think it's funny. He says "The audience only finds it funny because they have been brought up on television and the gamma rays have been eating the white cells of their brains out."
5. Although Isaac has a girlfriend, he becomes infatuated with someone else. Who is it?

Answer: Mary Wilkie

Mary Wilkie (Diane Keaton) is Yale's paramour but Isaac begins to feel a strong attraction for her. He is somewhat disgusted with her at first, describing her as a pseudo-intellectual who can't pronounce words like allegorical and didacticism.
6. Where does Isaac take his son for lunch?

Answer: Russian Tea Room

Isaac takes Willie to the Russian Tea Room. Willie wants to know why they can't have frankfurters. Isaac says, "Because this is the Russian Tea Room. You wanna have a blintz or something. A frankfurter gives you cancer, anyhow."
7. Mary calls Isaac and invites him to go for a walk. They are caught in a heavy thunderstorm. Where do they go?

Answer: planetarium

Inside the planetarium, Mary starts talking about Saturn. "Look, there's Saturn. Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun. How many of the satellites of Saturn can you name? There's Mimas, Titan, Dione and Hyperion, of course." Isaac says, "I can't name any of them. Fortunately, they never come up in conversation."
8. Isaac waits for Tracy outside her high school. They go to a restaurant and Tracy gives Isaac a gift. What does she give him?

Answer: harmonica

Tracy gives Isaac a harmonica. Isaac says, "It's great. It's - I don't play the harmonica, but it's an incredible ... harmonica is what it is." Isaac takes this opportunity to break up with Tracy. He says that he is in love with someone else.
9. Jill, Isaac's second ex-wife, does something that is very upsetting to Isaac. What does she do?

Answer: She publishes a book about their divorce.

Jill (Meryl Streep) has published a book entitled: "Marriage, Divorce and Self-hood". She says that Isaac is narcissistic, misanthropic and self-righteous. She also says that there is an interest in the book for a movie sale. Naturally, Isaac is upset as all of his friends will find out about the idiosyncrasies and secrets of his life with Jill.
10. Mary has broken off with Isaac and says that she is still in love with Yale. Isaac wants to resume his relationship with Tracy. Does she stay with him in New York?

Answer: No

As Isaac is reminiscing over the things that make life worth living, such as Groucho Marx, Willie Mays, Swedish movies, and more, he thinks of Tracy's face. He realizes that he is still in love with her. He tries to persuade her to stay with him in New York.

She will be in London for six months. Tracy says, "What's six months if we still love each other?" Isaac thinks that she will change. She says, "Not everybody gets corrupted. You have to have a little faith in people."
