Daily Dialogue — April 23, 2013

Annie: Are you fucking kidding me?
Annie’s Mom: Annie?
Annie: No, mom. Mother fucking Paris? I told you about Paris, Helen! I told you about this whole idea!
Lillian: Annie, calm down…
Annie: No, Lillian! What are you gonna go, you’re gonna go to Paris with Helen now? What are you gonna, you guys gonna ride around on bikes with berets and fucking baguettes in the basket on the front of your bikes? Oh how romantic! What woman gives another woman a trip to Paris? Am I right? Lesbian! We’re all thinking it, aren’t we?
Becca: [quickly] I’m not.
Megan: I was.
Annie: Okay! Yes, we’re all thinking it, right?
Annie’s Mom: Annie…
Annie: Lillian, this is not the you that I know! The you that I know would have walked in here and rolled your eyes and would have thought that this was completely over the top, ridiculous, and stupid! Look at this shower! Look at that fucking cookie! Did you really think that this group of women was gonna finish that cookie? Really, and you know that reminds me actually; I never got a chance to try that fucking cookie!

— Bridesmaids (2011), written by Kristen Wiig, Annie Mumolo

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is making a scene, suggested by Trent Carroll. Today’s suggestion by SabinaGiado.

Trivia: Highest grossing R-rated female comedy of all time in the domestic box office, edging out Sex and the City.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary from Sabina: “Probably the entire second Act of this movie is made up of a series of ‘scenes’. I don’ mean that in the screenwriting sense, I mean that in the humiliating publicly embarrassing sense. This is the big one. Where all of the grievances are aired once and for all.

After this point, there are no more ‘scenes’ — simply rebuilding and redemption. It’s great because between crapping in the street, being chased by an Air Marshall, and losing your best friend, I’m just shattered for Annie.”
