Diane Quote #721
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.

‘I Do, Adieu’ Quotes
Quote from Frasier
Norm: All right, I got 20 bucks says they won't do it.
Cliff: All right, well, I got, eh, 30 here says they, uh, tie the knot-ski tonight-ski.
Frasier: I'd like a piece of that, Cliff. Because you see, I'm convinced that the words "l do" are not in the woman's vocabulary.

Sam: You're- You're good at writing. I mean, I think we finally found something you don't stink at.
Diane: But, Sam, I... I...

Steve: Yeah, you were, Sammy.
Sam: Thank you. The point is... The point is I took a shot. You've got to take your shot.
Quote from Norm
Cliff: Oh, boy, yeah, that was one of your major league dumps, too. Poor little Diane, left there on our doorstep, you know, turning to us for, uh, shelter from life's storm. Boy, oh, boy, it seems like a long time ago, doesn't it, Normie?
Norm: Yep.
Cliff: A lot's changed since that fateful night, eh?
Norm: Yeah. As I recall, you were sitting over there, drinking a beer, and I was sitting right here having a beer, kind of wishing you'd shut up.
Cliff: Good memory.
Norm: Yeah.
