Daily Dialogue — April 1, 2012

Walter Stratford: Where’s your sister going?
Kat Stratford: She’s meeting some bikers. Big ones. Full of sperm.
Walter Stratford: Funny.

— Walter (Larry Miller), Kat (Julia Stiles), 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), written by Karen McCullah Lutz & Kirsten Smith

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is snark, suggested by Gabe.

Trivia: Several names reflect the Shakespearean origin of “The Taming Of The Shrew”. Bianca’s and Kat’s last name is Stratford (William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon). Patrick’s last name is Verona (birthplace of Petruchio, the corresponding character from the play). The high school is called Padua, which is the city in which the play is set. And the two girl’s names are Kat and Bianca (the names of the girls are Bianca and Katherina Kate in the play.)

Dialogue On Dialogue: Whenever you have a teenager and a parent together in a scene, toss in a dash of snark to add some spice.
