Daily Dialogue — April 18, 2016

Lightning: Okay. Focus. Speed. I am speed. One winner. 42 losers. I eat losers for breakfast. Breakfast, maybe I should have had breakfast. Breaky could be good for me. No, no, stay focused. Faster than fast. Quicker than quick, I am lightning.
Mac (OS): Hey Lightning, you ready?
Lightning: Oh yeah, Lightning’s ready (beat) Ka-chow!

— Cars (2006), screenplay by Dan Fogelman and John Lasseter and Joe Ranft and Kiel Murray & Phil Lorin and Jorgen Klubien, story by John Lasseter & Joe Rant & Jorgen Klubien

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Pixar. Today’s suggestion by Michael Waters.

Trivia: This was Paul Newman’s last feature film before his death in 2008. It also turned out to be the highest-grossing movie of his career.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary from Michael: “Lightning McQueen’s disunity state set up in his opening words. Arrogant, dreamy, distracted and incapable of getting breakfast. Definitely a film for boys aged 2–8.”
