Runaway Bride (1999)

The movie is about Julia Roberts' character Maggie Carpenter and Richard Gere's character Eisenhower Graham, 'Ike'. While there are several mushy moments, one of the scenes stayed back with me.

This is a scene with Ike and his ex-wife Ellie Graham played by Rita Wilson.

Ike: "Ellie, what went wrong? With us. With the two of us, I mean. I know it's been a long time. Do you remember?"

Ellie: "Yeah. Do I remember? Of course I do."

Ike: "Is that what -- Did I do the same -- Is that what happened? Did I just... not see you?"

Ellie: "No. No, you didn't."

Ike: "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Ellie."

Ellie: "I'm sorry too, Ike."

It helps that Ellie has remarried, is Ike's publisher and her spouse Fisher is a relaxed man. He does quip though, "Confucius say, man who leave wife alone with ex-husband may leave altogether."
