Daily Dialogue — April 1, 2015

Ken: Coming up?
Ray: What’s up there?
Ken: The view.
Ray: The view of what? The view of down here? I can see that down here.
Ken: Ray, you are about the worst tourist in the whole world.
Ray: Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me, but I didn’t, so it doesn’t.

— In Bruges (2008), written by Martin McDonagh

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Foreigner. Today’s suggestion by Daniel Cossu.

Trivia: In the original script, Ray and Ken are English, but when Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson came on board, the characters were changed to Irish as to suit their natural sensibilities.

Dialogue On Dialogue: That’s the thing about foreigners. There are travelers who embrace the possibility of new things. Then there are those who don’t. Ray falls into the latter camp.

If you have a suggestion for this week’s theme, please post in comments.
