Quote from Diane in I Do, Adieu
Diane: Yes! [giggling] I'm going to be a novelist. I'm going to be a novelist. Sumner: Now, this doesn't guarantee publication. He has other people to convince. And he'll have to see the finished work. Diane: Actually, I haven't quite finished it. I haven't written for five years. Sumner: That's about the same amount of time you've been interred in this, uh, tomb of thought. Diane: Oh, roughly. Sumner: Well, then it's imperative you get out of here and finish this novel immediately. You can use my cabin in Maine. It's where I go to do most of my profound thinking. You'll love it! Ted Koppel has a little place right down the road. Diane: I can't. I'm going to marry Sam. Sumner: Do you realize the implications of the choice you're making? Diane: There's no choice. A woman can be married and write, too. Sumner: Oh, I get it. You're going to write the great American novel in between driving the kids to Little League games, changing a litter box and teaching Sam pinochle so you can finally have the Mundanes over to dinner.
