Daily Dialogue — August 15, 2017

Greg opens the bottle of champagne. The cork flies across the room and hits the urn filled with Jack’s deceased mother’s ashes which topples to the floor with a loud CRASH!

Dina: Ah!
Greg: Oh!
Jack: Ugh!
Pam: Oh my God!

And THEN the cat goes to the ashes scattered on the floor and proceeds to use it as kitty litter.

— Meet the Parents (2000), screenplay by Jim Herzfeld and John Hamburg, story by Greg Glienna & Mary Ruth Clarke

Trivia: The MPAA would not allow the name “Focker” unless the filmmakers could find an actual person with that surname.
