Daily Dialogue — August 10, 2017

“Boo!”

— Monsters, Inc. (2001), screenplay written by Andrew Stanton & Daniel Gerson, original story by Pete Doctor & Jill Culton & Jeff Pidgeon & Ralph Eggleston

The Daily Dialogue theme for this week: One Word. Today’s suggestion by Gisela Wehrl.

Trivia: Boo’s real name is Mary, as shown briefly on one of the crayon drawings she shows to Sulley in the scene where Boo is going to sleep on Sulley’s bed. The actress who provided the voice of Boo is Mary Gibbs.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Gisela: “The little girl uses this word all the time to imitate the monsters who are trying to scare her. Sulley chooses it as her nickname later on, which leads to Mike’s reaction: ‘Sulley, you’re not supposed to name it. Once you name it, you start getting attached to it!’”
