synopsis
Forever in a state of denial, Diane (Shelley Long) convinces herself that the rejection letters she keeps receiving in a poetry magazine actually hold out promise that her work will one day be accepted. To prove that those rejections slips are merely form letters, Sam submits a poem to the magazine -- and is immediately published. The outraged Diane is convinced that Sam plagiarized his poem, and moves heaven and earth to verify her suspicions.
