Daily Dialogue — April 5, 2013

Luna Schlosser: Oh, I see. You don’t believe in science. And you also don’t believe that the political systems work. And you don’t believe in God, huh?

Miles Monroe: Right.

Luna Schlosser: So then, what do you believe in?

Miles Monroe: Sex and death. Two things that come once in my lifetime. But at least after death you’re not nauseous.

— Sleeper (1973), written by Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman

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

Trivia: Woody Allen confirmed the scientific feasibility of his screenplay ideas in a single lunchtime meeting with Isaac Asimov. Allen also consulted with leading science fiction writer Ben Bova to make sure that some of his futuristic predictions were feasible.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Amos: “This isn’t a death scene, but it references death and is my very favorite dialogue of all time.”
