Ally McBeal
Movie Quote Quiz

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

Two's a Crowd - S4-E3

Richard Fish: It's not easy finding a person to love in this world, Mark, and whoever you end up with, she won't be perfect. Cindy is beautiful, and when people see you with her they're more impressed with you, but what I'm trying to say is - don't dump her. Use her...as bait, to attract other beautiful women.

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!

These Are the Days - S1-E23

Revealing mistake: When Georgia walks into Billy's office naked, a triangle-lamp will cover her "naked" breasts. Look closely, for at one point you can see the white, strapless bra.

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.

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?
