Daily Dialogue — April 3, 2013

DUKE: Otto?
OTTO: Yeah, I’m here, man.
DUKE: The lights are growing dim. I know a life of crime led me to this sorry fate. And yet… I blame society. Society made me what I am.
OTTO: That’s bullshit. You’re a white suburban punk just like me.
DUKE: But it. Still. HURTS.
OTTO: You’re gonna be alright, man. Maybe not.

— Repo Man (1984), written by Alex Cox

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is death suggested by SandbaggerOne. Today’s suggestion by JasperLamarCrab.

Trivia: The Repo Man’s code is based on an amalgamation of wisdom given to director Alex Cox when he was serving in real life as a repo man.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Jasper: “Dialogue take-away: This heartless and hilarious scene shows two deaths — a physical death, and the death of a ‘white suburban punk’s’ illusions about his life and his responsibility for it.”
