Wilson's character in the movie was only hoping to get lucky with a girl when he recited the line, but in real life Wilson is a poetry fan.

"He's a big poetry fan, and I am too. So we email poems to each other," said Wilson's "Marley & Me" co-star Alan Arkin.

Arkin's latest role is in "Get Smart," alongside Anne Hathaway and Steve Carell.

At the premiere of the film, Arkin told People.com, "We sent little poems to each other since the movie."

"He's very literate ... enormously literate. He can quote a lot of great writers verbatim - long passage."
