Daily Dialogue — April 18, 2015

Annie: It’s my wedding day. Why do I look so annoyed?
Dean: Oh, yeah. Your dad showed up shit-faced. He threw potato salad all over my mom. We had to throw him out!
Annie: Why do I always have this depressed look on my face?
Dean: You were grumpy a lot. You were losing the weight, then you gained it back. Thin, fat, thin, fat.
Annie: Was I always this miserable? Wasn’t I ever happy?
Dean: Well, sure, honey. Lots. You were the happiest little wife and mother around! Look at this. Before you lost the weight. Can you believe it? All right. Now, that’s it. Are you satisfied?
Annie: Yes.
Dean: Good.
Annie: I suppose I belong here in this… hovel.
Dean: Come on, Jackson!
Annie: Well, this is my life. I didn’t marry very well, did I?

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Amnesia. Today’s suggestion by Lois Bernard.

Trivia: Third of three consecutive pictures with one-word titles for actress Goldie Hawn. The others were Protocol (1984) and Wildcats (1986).

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Lois: “One of the funniest movies ever, great script and great comedienne Goldie, wonder if anyone else could have pulled this off.”

If you missed the 80s, you have have no idea how big of a star Goldie Hawn was. And to think, this is where she got her start.
