'When Harry Met Sally' stars Meg Ryan, Billy Crystal reunite at Oscars: See the photo

We'll have what they're having.

"When Harry Met Sally" stars Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal sauntered down the Oscars stage to announce the night's best picture winner.

"It's great to be back because, you know, I used to work here," erstwhile Oscars host Crystal said, quipping that his first time hosting the show was "nine tuxedos ago."

Crystal hosted the Oscars nine times throughout the '90s and 2000s.

"Actually, my first time hosting it was 35 years ago this month," he continued. "It's weird because on my IMDb page, I'm 47."

After their opening banter, Ryan suggested they "cut to the chase," and Crystal responded by paraphrasing their classic rom-com: "When you have a chance of being an Oscar winner for the rest of your life, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."

Oscars host Conan O'Brien introduced the segment as "when Harry reunited with Sally" and praised Crystal as "the best Oscar host ever." The best picture of the night went to "Anora."

Crystal and Ryan have reunited a bunch publicly in recent years, most recently in a Super Bowl commercial last month and before that at Crystal's Kennedy Center Honors ceremony in 2023.

Crystal actually came up with those unforgettable words from "When Harry Met Sally," "I'll have what she's having." The words from the 1989 romantic comedy have reverberated across generations – so much so that a key component of Crystal's Kennedy Center Honors showcase took place at a makeshift Katz's Delicatessen.

"The scene came really naturally to me, and I really have Billy to thank for that," Ryan said in a tribute to him at the time, sending the audience into instant snickers. And again, when she joked she'd never been around anyone who made faking an orgasm easier.

Then, she got sappy: "As his wife Janice has known for over 50 years, falling in love with Billy is a pretty easy thing to do."
