Daily Dialogue — April 14, 2013

“You’re a disease, and I’m the cure.”

— Cobra (1986), screenplay by Sylvester Stallone, novel by Paula Gosling

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is Action Hero Wisecracks, suggested by Shaula Evans.

Trivia:The Paula Gosling novel ‘Fair Game’ on which “Cobra” is based is also called ‘A Running Duck’. When the movie came out Sylvester Stallone allegedly wanted the novel reissued with himself credited as the author. Ms. Gosling declined the offer.

Dialogue On Dialogue: There’s that pattern again: Set-up. Payoff.
