Although this seems jocular and light-hearted on the surface – and it certainly is – this statement does a lot in the way of characterizing Theodore at this stage of the film

“Spooning” is only mentioned twice in the film, the only other time being him reminiscing about his wife, Catherine, whom he is in the process of divorcing. Catherine, then, seems to have a latent presence in his mind even as he is beginning to develop a relationship with Samantha

Also, the fact that the particular affectionate action that Theodore mentions is spooning is important, as it is obviously suggestive of a physical connection, something that Samantha would be unable to provide

Although Theodore is not yet considering a romantic relationship with Samantha, this scene is where that relationship’s foundations are laid, so these are important for the viewer to consider

This exchange is a pivotal moment in the storyline, as Samantha’s desire to be more human is firmly established and the romantic rapport between her and Theodore is developed

Whereas it was just earlier in this scene that Samantha even mentioned having emotions for the first time, we see here that those emotions are deep and well-developed. Not only that, but there is meta-emotion – specifically, she expresses guilt at her own desires and wants

Samantha’s fantasy demonstrates not only that she wants to have a physical embodiment, but also that she wants to become closer to Theodore, foreshadowing their later, more intimate relationship

This sentence marks a turning point in the film: it is the first time that Samantha uses the word “feel.” Throughout the film, Samantha expresses her desire – subtly at first, more passionately later – to experience human emotions, to actually be more human. Her usage of the word “feel” here indicates that she has developed a certain capacity for such human emotions

In addition, this reveals a certain intimacy between Samantha and Theodore, as it expresses both her familiarity with and her enjoyment of his personal work in which he takes pride

Wiley is taking a lesson in humility from his elders here. They’re telling him that, even when you know you’re better than those around you, you shouldn’t brag, because everyone else already knows it too

You get the impression that Wiley accepts the advice, as he describes himself as “free thinking,” and this contradicts the ostensible arrogance that is much more prominent in hip-hop

“Blessings” and “a nun” both serve as euphemisms here, the former for money and the latter for a prostitute. The religious language attributed to these material items (note also the “resurrection” of his erection) demonstrates what high reverence Greg’s character has for these shallow items, serving to satirize how society has widely turned from traditional religion to materialism
