In a classroom debate scene, Alicia Silverstone incorrectly pronounced the word "Haitians" as "Hate-ee-ans," which was not written in the script. Director Amy Heckerling liked it so much that she included it in the final version because it was so characteristically Cher. It sums up Cher's sweet yet naive personality, which makes the scene so authentic. What Silverstone did in this scene has since become the most memorable part of the movie, with a good dose of humor and heart.
