- Nitpick: When Diane returns from the bathroom after fixing her hair, it has been transformed from a frizzy, disheveled mess from riding a motorocycle, to a perfectly coifed, straight 'do. Her make-up has also been redone. Since she was only gone about 30 seconds, it seems highly unlikely that she would have had time to get her hair and make-up so completely perfect in such little time. edit »
