* CrazyPrepared: Because of how many times Emily has had the "[[SeinfeldianConversation Is]] ''Film/DieHard'' [[SeinfeldianConversation a Christmas movie?]]" discussion, she has memorized the exact date it came out.
-->'''Crow''': Well, what if [a movie] takes place ''at'' Christmas, ''and'' has a Christmas tree in it?
-->'''Tom''': Like ''Die Hard''!
-->'''Emily''': (patiently) Okay, it doesn't matter, look at the release date. ''Die Hard'' came out July 15th, 1988. It was a ''summer blockbuster'', not a Christmas movie.
-->'''Tom''': [[LampshadeHanging How do you know when]] ''[[LampshadeHanging Die Hard]]'' [[LampshadeHanging came out?]]
-->'''Emily''': (bluntly) I've had this discussion a lot.

* SeinfeldianConversation: Over the film's credits. After the epilogue where Mordrid and Samantha agree to drink eggnog and watch a Christmas movie, Crow is mildly amazed that ''Doctor Mordrid'' was a {{Christmas Movie|sIndex}} the whole time. Emily objects, and soon argues that even films set during Christmas, even with Christmas trees in them, aren't necessarily Christmas Movies. Her second example is ''Film/DieHard'' -- because it was released in July of 1988, it was a summer blockbuster, instead. (Emily's had this discussion a lot.) She pursues her logic to the point of arguing that ''Film/ItsAWonderfulLife'' is actually a New Year's film about the evils of forgetfulness because it was released in January. When Crow counters by saying that ''Film/Titanic1997'' would then be a Christmas film, Emily agrees, and firmly states that "she'll die on this hill, and if the hill comes out in late December, I'll call it a Christmas hill!"
