TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Filmed as a musical with eight songs by Prince, Sinéad O'Connor, and Carole King. Following poor test screenings, all but one of the songs - and all of the movie-musical-style production numbers - were removed from the film, and James L. Brooks wrote new scenes and did three days' worth of re-shoots to transform the film into a more traditional studio comedy. Only "You are the Best," written by King and including an end-credits version sung by her, remains in the final cut of the film.

In the beginning of the movie, we see a reference to Powers Boothe showing up at the Emmy Awards ceremony to collect the award he had won for playing Jim Jones in the middle of a Screen Actors Guild strike. Although Nick Nolte was not nominated for an Emmy that year, everything else shown about the incident really happened in September, 1980.

Laura Dern was originally cast as Cathy Breslow.

Nick Nolte would work on this movie on weekdays, as he was also working on Blue Chips (1994) at the same time.

James L. Brooks asked Joely Richardson to stay in character throughout the shoot, and to always maintain her American accent.

Popular Dialogues

"Matt Hobbs: Washington? Washington, boy, that must have been a big adjustment. Nan Mulhanney: It wasn't that bad. Both places have a lot in common: Over-privileged people, crazed by their fear of losing their privileges. Alcoholism. Addiction. Betrayal. The near total degradation of what once were grand motives. The same spiritual blood-letting. I kind of do miss the seasons, though."

"Burke Adler: Wanna have a little sex? Nan: You know, I've never hung up on anyone in my life. Because what if the next thing they said solved everything? But I feel I must end this conversation. Burke Adler: That's "no"? Hello?"
