Best ways to say "I love you" without saying "I love you"

Maybe I've been watching too much noir lately, but what about "double entendres"? my personal favorite, from Double Indemnity:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz-5wKegyOw

PHYLLIS: You handle just automobile insurance, or all kinds? She sits down again, in the same position as before.

NEFF: All kinds. Fire, earthquake, theft, public liability, group insurance, industrial stuff and so on right down the line.

PHYLLIS: Accident insurance?

NEFF: Accident insurance? Sure, Mrs. Dietrichson. His eyes fall on the anklet again.

NEFF: I wish you'd tell me what's engraved on that anklet.

PHYLLIS: Just my name.

NEFF: As for instance?

PHYLLIS: Phyllis.

NEFF: Phyllis. I think I like that.

PHYLLIS: But you're not sure?

NEFF: I'd have to drive it around the block a couple of times.

PHYLLIS:(Standing up again) Mr. Neff, why don't you drop by tomorrow evening about eight-thirty. He'll be in then.

NEFF:Who?

PHYLLIS: My husband. You were anxious to talk to him weren't you?

NEFF: Sure, only I'm getting over it a little. If you know what I mean.

PHYLLIS:There's a speed limit in this state, Mr. Neff. Forty-five miles an hour.

NEFF: How fast was I going, officer?

PHYLLIS: I'd say about ninety.

NEFF: Suppose you get down off your motorcycle and give me a ticket.

PHYLLIS: Suppose I let you off with a warning this time.

NEFF: Suppose it doesn't take.

PHYLLIS: Suppose I have to whack you over the knuckles.

NEFF:Suppose I bust out crying and put my head on your shoulder.

PHYLLIS: Suppose you try putting it on my husband's shoulder.

NEFF: That tears it. Neff takes his hat and briefcase.

NEFFEight-thirty tomorrow evening then,Mrs. Dietrichson.

PHYLLIS:That's what I suggested.

They both move toward the archway.

HALLWAY - PHYLLIS AND NEFF GOING TOWARDS THE ENTRANCE DOOR
NEFF: Will you be here, too?

PHYLLIS: I guess so. I usually am.

NEFF: Same chair, same perfume, same anklet?

PHYLLIS:(Opening the door) I wonder if I know what you mean.


NEFF: I wonder if you wonder.

Teen girl culture! Clueless, Mean Girls, Buffy, Bring It On...

@Annika Thats a tough one... but original, I like it

one example for Annika's suggestion comes to mind: At the end of "The Princess Bride"

[last lines]
The Grandson: Grandpa, maybe you could come over and read it again to me tomorrow.
Grandpa: As you wish.

and here is what sets it up at the beginning of the film:

Grandpa: [voiceover] Nothing gave Buttercup as much pleasure as ordering Westley around.
Buttercup: Farm boy, polish my horse's saddle. I want to see my face shining in it by morning.
Westley: As you wish.
Grandpa: [voiceover] "As you wish" was all he ever said to her.
Buttercup: Farm boy, fill these with water - please.
Westley: As you wish.
Grandpa: [voiceover] That day, she was amazed to discover that when he was saying "As you wish", what he meant was, "I love you." And even more amazing was the day she realized she truly loved him back.
Buttercup: Farm boy... fetch me that pitcher.
[It's right over her head, so he has to stand next to her]
Westley: As you wish.
[Cut to them kissing]
The Grandson: [interrupting] Hold it, hold it. What is this? Are you trying to trick me? Where's the sports?
[suspiciously]
The Grandson: Is this a kissing book?
Grandpa: Wait, just wait.
The Grandson: Well, when does it get good?
Grandpa: Keep your shirt on, and let me read.

To go back to a previous DD, "jokes in scripts" -- there's one in the greatest of them all, Chinatown.

Jake Gittes is at the barber and the barber starts telling an off-colour joke about a different way of making love, but we cut away before the punchline.

Later Gittes re-tells the joke to his sidekicks, and we finally hear the end.

A good way of keeping the audience interested... we want to hear the whole joke.

How about a "moment of clarity" - a scene where a character realizes and speaks a truth about himself?

I've found that scenes like that are hard to get right as a writer because there's the danger of "telling" something rather than "showing" that the character has really acquired hard-earned knowledge and convincingly articulates it.

Anyway, the most famous example of this would probably be Terry Malloy's scene in ON THE WATERFRONT with his brother - "I coulda been a contender..."

Or Bobby Dupea's scene with his father in FIVE EASY PIECES.

Or the Narrator discovering the true nature of Tyler Durden in FIGHT CLUB.

And there was a great exchange in BAD SANTA:

Willie: You know, I think I've turned a corner.

Marcus: Yeah? You fucking petites now?

Willie: No, I'm not talking about that. I beat the shit out of some kids today. But it was for a purpose. It made me feel good about myself. It was like I did something constructive with my life or something, I dunno, like I accomplished something.

Marcus: You need many years of therapy. Many, many fuckin' years of therapy.

Drunken Banter (in honor of the new Arthur) -- Arthur, Withnail & I, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf

Stoned Banter -- Spicoli in Fast Times, Bill Murray in Caddyshack, Cheech & Chong in anything, etc.

Tall Tales/Outrageous Lies -- Barbra Streisand at the banquet in What's Up Doc?

Bad Behavior Rationalizations -- Alec Baldwin in It's Complicated justifying his extramarital affair

Response to Failure / Setback (Otherwise known as "At least I did something..." -- Jack Nicholson in Cuckoo's Nest after he fails to lift the marble fixture... "At least I tried. At least I did that."

Insults.

Here is one to remember from "Christmas Vacation"

Clark Griswald: "...I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol? "

Fictional President Speeches: Armageddon, Independence Day, Dr. Strangelove.

Factoids in Film: The Apartment-
C.C. Baxter: [narrating] On November 1st, 1959, the population of New York City was 8,042,783. If you laid all these people end to end, figuring an average height of five feet six and a half inches, they would reach from Times Square to the outskirts of Karachi, Pakistan. I know facts like this because I work for an insurance company - Consolidated Life of New York.

Some excellent suggestions and I'll carry them forward for future weeks. But I'm struck by the one DeafEars suggested: Moment of clarity. As DE says, those can be difficult to write. You always run the risk of being too on the nose. Looks like a good theme for entertainment and educational purposes.

As I say, I'll start a new list with the others. And thanks all!

I like the Factoids in Film suggestion. These are those cool little bits that add to a film when properly done. Facts about the raptors in the first Jurassic Park come to mind. We learn about them early on, when the scientists are on a dig, before they even know about Jurassic Park, as the skeleton of one has just been uncovered and there's a kid there on a tour who isn't impressed... until Sam Neil tells him exactly how he'd be killed by a pack of raptors, scaring the kid shitless and giving us valuable info for later.
