Daily Dialogue — April 1, 2014

“O dear God, thank you. You are such a good God to us. A kind and gentle and accommodating God. And we thank You O sweet, sweet Lord of hosts for the smörgåsbord You have so aptly lain at our table this day, and each day… by day. Day by day… by day. O dear Lord, three things we pray: To love Thee more dearly, to see Thee more clearly, to follow Thee more nearly day by day… by day. Amen.”

— Meet the Parents (2000), screenplay by Jim Herzfeld and John Hamburg

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is prayer.

Trivia: The MPAA would not allow the name ‘Focker’ unless the film makers could find an actual person with that surname.

Dialogue On Dialogue: This is great as Greg, who is Jewish, pretends to have said grace many times, but clearly he has not, devolving into lyrics from a “Godspell” song.
