Daily Dialogue — May 29, 2014

Bill: If only we could go back to two days ago before your dad lost his keys, and steal them.
Ted: Well, why don’t we?
Bill: ‘Cuz we don’t have time, dude.
Ted: We could do it after the report.
Bill: Oh, yeah! Where should we put ‘em?
Ted: How ‘bout behind this sign?
Bill: OK. Woah! It worked! Right, so when we’re done with the report, we have to remember to do this or else it won’t happen. Except it did happen! Ted, it was you who stole your dad’s keys!

— Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989), written by Chris Matheson, Ed Solomon

Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Time Travel Talk, suggested by Bob_Reo_Inc.

Trivia: Bill and Ted began as a stand-up act in which the characters would discuss current events without knowing what they were talking about. Originally there was a third character named Bob, but the comedian who played him lost interest after a few performances.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Screenwriters Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon played Ugly Waiter and Stupid Waiter respectively in the ice cream scene.

Note: We need more suggestions for this week’s theme. Thanks!
