 * Cellar Door:** In the film, English Teacher Ms. Karen Pomeroy writes the phrase "Cellar Door" on the blackboard after having her employment terminated at the high school. She says to Donnie, "...A famous linguist once said that of all the phrases in the English language, of all the endless combinations of words in all of history, that Cellar Door is the most beautiful."
