TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Paul Rudd replaced Owen Wilson.

Portia's mother Susannah (played by Lily Tomlin), has an art piece on her wall showing a fish riding a bike. This is in reference to Irina Dunn's quote "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle", later popularized by Gloria Steinem. This is thrown in to show Susannah's feminist views. She also quotes Erica Jong at one point.

The real Dean of Admissions from Princeton, Janet Lavin Rapelye, appears in a scene with Tina Fey.

Both Paul Rudd and Wallace Shawn were in Clueless.

When Portia first meets John she says "Nice ax.". However he is holding a maul.

Popular Dialogues

"Jeremiah: I read everything. I read biographies, mainly because I didn't know how other people live their lives. I think my variations reading came from a deep longing for something that was missing. I was searching for someone, for my story. To not feel so alone."

"[last lines] Portia Nathan: What's the secret of getting in? I can't tell you. You'll have to find out for yourself."
