Pretty sure Coppola maintains that it was entirely up to Bill Murray to say what he wanted.

We're overthinking this. The simple answer is usually correct. Bob is simply giving Charlotte his contact information so they can hook up when they are both back in the States. The "truth" Bob wants Charlotte to tell is that she is not in love with her husband any longer. His own "truth" is similar; he's no longer happy in his marriage. That's why Bob looks back and smiles at Charlotte. He knows they will hook up later in the States. But, I hear you saying, "Charlotte does not write down his phone number." That's because his instructions are simplesomething like, "Call Universal Pictures and ask for Marge. She can tell you how to reach me." Simple.

Danglots of good answers here. Thanks folks.
Whatever he said, it had an emotional impact on Charlottea deep emotional impact. I did not expect to see her hug back so hardespecially standing on tippy toes. Her eyes were red from crying.
I think they fell in love for the moment. Separation always puts everything back into normal perspective and the "love affair" becomes a cold memory.

What was said has been definitively uncovered, and it's on Youtube, in case you want to know. And yes, the line Bob whispered into Charlotte's ear was completely ad-libbed by Bill Murray.

None of us will believe you just by saying what you did. Provide a link if there is one. Personally I don't believe there is a youtube video that shows it was "definitely" uncovered. Probably just a speculation, as many of us are doing here.
