completing each other's "sentences"

I LIKE that part : 7.43 in the time, click that segment (Amelie, part 12, youtube) where the guy who is the love interest of Ms Poulain is walking with that old lady from the diner. And he completes the lady's proverbs: 1. One swallow doesn't make...a summer 2. Practice makes...Perfect! 3. Curiosity...killed the cat. 4. Haste makes waste 5. Rolling stone...gathers no moss! 6. It's a sin...to steal a pin. Absence makes...the heart grow fonder! Go check: conflicting proverbs. And be dazzled, charmed by the contradiction and opposing views.
