Diane Quote #701

Quote from Diane in Cheers: The Motion Picture

Diane: Okay, let's take it again. [everyone groans]
Norm: Diane, do we really have to do this again?
Diane: We all agreed that the best way to persuade Woody's parents to let him stay was to show them how decent and upstanding his friends are, right? [muttering agreement] Okay. And what better way to show them than by making a film of his everyday life? And who better to serve as auteur than the person who ruined the curve in her film techniques class.
Sam: Hey, Diane, shoot the damn film.
Diane: Would you tell Fellini "Shoot the damn film"? Would you tell Antonioni "Shoot the damn film"? Would you tell Bergman "Shoot the damn film"?
Sam: No, I'm telling you, shoot the damn film.
Carla: Better yet, shoot the damn Diane.
Diane: Please. A little more reverence for the words I've written. Stick to the script. And try to be spontaneous.

Diane: Are you sure my film had no effect on your father?
