Daily Dialogue — August 27, 2017

FINN [spots the full moon]: Oh, god. Look at that.
ANNA: I never liked full moons. They give people an excuse to do foolish things.
FINN: I’m young, I’m supposed to do foolish things.
ANNA: And spend the rest of your life paying for them.
FINN: Well, it’s better than spending the rest of my life wondering what I missed.
ANNA: I’d rather wonder than kick myself.
FINN: Well, I’d rather kick myself.
ANNA: Fine. You will end up with a deeply sore backside.

— How to Make an American Quilt (1995), written by Jane Anderson, based on the novel by Whitney Otto

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Advice. Today’s suggestion by Gisela Wehrl.

Trivia: Film debut of Jared Leto.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Gisela: “Finn spends the summer with her grandmother and her friends to get advice. But this advice is not one Finn wants to hear, which makes this scene a back and forth with quite an explicit dialogue.”
