In filmul Bananas, ca de fapt in toate filmele lui, Woody Allen ne demonstreaza ca a inspirat majoritatea comediilor americane ale anilor 80-90 (seriile Naked Gun, Hot Shots, Police Academy). Personajul lui Woody Allen da urmatoarea replica despre "definitia iubirii":
"I want you in a way of cherishing your totality and your otherness and in the sense of a presence and a being and a whole coming and going in a room with grapefruit and a love of a thing, of nature and a sense of not wanting or being jealous of the thing a person possesses."
