Daily Dialogue — April 23, 2018

“You shoot me in a dream, you’d better wake up and apologize.”

— Reservoir Dogs (1994), written by Quentin Tarantino

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Quentin Tarantino. Today’s suggestion via Twitter by Louis Mendiola.

Trivia: Armed with thirty thousand dollars and a 16mm camera, Quentin Tarantino was all set to make the film with a bunch of friends, including his producing partner Lawrence Bender, who was going to play Nice Guy Eddie. It was then that Tarantino received an answerphone message from Harvey Keitel, asking if he could not only be in the film, but help produce it. Keitel had gotten involved via the wife of Bender’s acting class teacher, who had managed to get a copy of the script to him. Keitel’s involvement helped raise the budget to one and a half million dollars.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Let the record show that Quentin Tarantino can write great dialogue without the use of profanity.
