....after they just met Isaac and Tracy and are walking to another museum? She asked, "What do you do, Tracy?" and Tracy replies, "I go to high school." Mary says, "Ohhh, somewhere..blah..blah..blah.." I have yet to figure out WHAT the heck she says here. Help, anyone??

I forget exactly, but she says something like "somewhere Nabakov is smiling", Nabakov being the author of Lolita.

Reality is the new fiction they say, truth is truer these days, truth is man-made

Diane Keaton was perfect in the role. She was so pretentious and preposterous, she was hilarious.
