The day Bob is set to leave, he says goodbye to Charlotte in the hotel and they go their own way. On the way to the airport, Bob sees Charlotte walking down the street and runs to her. He hugs her as he whispers something into her ear and kisses her. Bob gets back into a cab and drives off to the airport.

Charlotte: Why do they switch the r's and the l's here?

Trivia: Even though she did not win an Oscar for "Best Director," Sofia Coppola became the first American female director and the second female director to be nominated for that award.

Question: I have read that the ditzy blonde actress was based on Cameron Diaz. Does anyone know why Sophia Coppola would pick on her in particular?
