Ephron was also determined to give each character a "moment", such as when the minor mailman character has an inconsequential conversation about hiccups with Sam's son Jonah. [20] At one point, the script mentioned that Sam and Annie had once both lived in Chicago at the same time, but this was edited out of the final film. [23] Sleepless in Seattle became Ephron's second directorial effort.
