Daily Dialogue — August 20, 2017

BEN: SHIT!
MELVIN: Wait. Wait. Hold your horses, Doc. Now, what if I walked in in the middle of a hernia operation, see some poor gentleman’s guts all over?
BEN: You killed my car.
MELVIN: I resent that.
BEN: That car was my life, Melvin! That car was my baby!
MELVIN: You want me to stop now? I can put it in some boxes, ship it out to Hollywood for you no skin off my nose.

— Doc Hollywood (1991), written by Jeffrey Price & Peter S. Seaman and Daniel Pyne, adoption by Lauren Leggett, based upon the book by Neil B. Shulman

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Broken, suggested by Gisela Wehrl who also recommended today’s movie.

Trivia: The writer, Neil B. Shulman, worked at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, hence the name of the town, Grady.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Gisela: “Sometimes you have to put something in pieces before you can repair it. (This fits for scripts sometimes as well.)”
