The Love Test? Fer real?

Folks, I need some help here. I have Googled & Asked, & my question remains unanswered by this great invention called the Internet(s).

The question is: Which movie contains the scene where a dude walks up to his car, unlocks the passenger side door & lets his girl get in...as he walks around the car to his door, she has already leaned over to unlock his door? Somewhere along in the movie, her act is discussed & considered to be extrinsic proof that she truly loves him. (Of course, the car did not have automatic locks, so he would've had to use his key again to unlock his own door.)

Does this little humane act equal true love? Not in my modern world, but it may mean that the passenger lady cares. Actually, I always do this in cars without automatic locks...does that mean that I should marry each person I ride with, whose car is sans auto unlocking systems?

C'mon, please help me settle this bet...

was it pulp fiction? i could see uma and travolta getting into a discussion about that. it's so tarantino.

dude -- it's so "singles". the part where campbell scott is giving kyra sedgwick a ride home after she has rejected his advances. he lets her into the passenger side and she leans over and unlocks his door for him and he has this moment where he knows that maybe her rejection of his advances hasn't been really a rejection after all...

erm, i might have had a minor obsession with that movie when i was a freshman in college...

and i think of that scene EVERY time i'm in the car with someone and i'm let in the passenger side first. and often, i open the door for the driver. and that does not mean i should marry each of those persons. because polygamy is illegal.
