Ally McBeal
Movie Quote Quiz

Richard Fish: Everybody's alone. It's just easier to take in a relationship.

Richard Fish: Ally, one of the keys to life: the fast forward. Every movie has its lousy parts. The trick is to fast forward through them. As time passes, you look back and say oh, that little adultery thing, oh that. You fast forward to then right now, and you’re over it.

John Cage: Everyone has flaws, some are bigger than others, and as flaws go, SHE HAS A PENIS!

Mistakes

Silver Bells - S1-E11

Plot hole: In the first episode, Richard Fish invites Ally to join his law firm, saying that he has only recently set it up, yet in the Christmas episode of series one, Elaine says that singing at the party is an annual tradition in the firm and also that they have had at least three Christmas parties. That much time has not passed since Ally joined.

Trivia

The Wedding - S4-E23

Trivia: This episode is titled "The Wedding" but there is no wedding in it. The original script had Ally and Larry getting married, but it was re-written due to the arrest of Robert Downey Jr. The title was kept even though the storyline wasn't.

Questions

Show generally

Question: There's a quote from Richard Fish I've never been able to find exactly online, but I'm sure I'm remembering the gist, I think talking to someone about getting divorced or cheated on: "10 years from now, are you still going to be as mad as you are now? Of course not. So jump to that point, now, and you're over it. Fishism." Can anyone identify the episode/quote?
