Daily Dialogue — December 1, 2015

Peter: I couldn’t do it.
Sullivan: I know.
Peter: Pa! Pa!
Sullivan: I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

— Road to Perdition (2002), screenplay by David Self, graphic novel by Max Allan Collins and Richard Piers Rayner

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Regret, suggested by Pj Woodside. Today’s suggestion by Angie Soliman.

Trivia: Jude Law’s character, Maguire, is not in the original graphic novel. He is a creation of writer David Self.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Angie: “David Self, the writer, has been building the whole movie towards this specific moment…the scene is already LOADED, so ‘less is more’. That’s lean writing.”
