Nope for Diane. Sorry! ETA: Of mine, the only one correctly guessed (“Village”) was the hardest. “Diane” is probably the next hardest. “Truth” and “Damn it” are probably the easiest and could probably be guessed by people who haven’t even seen the shows in question. “Lies” should be quite easy too. All four are things you’ll hear/see in many, if not most, episodes of the show. ---
