Daily Dialogue —August 31, 2018

“‘Ode to Ice Cream’ by Vada Sultenfuss. I like ice cream a whole lot/It tastes good on days that are hot/On a cone or in a dish/This will be my only wish/Vanilla, chocolate, rocky road/Even with pie, a la mode.”

— My Girl (1991), written by Laurice Elehwany

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Ice Cream.

Trivia: The original script was entered in the Nicholl Fellowship screenwriting contest and didn’t get past the first round.

Dialogue On Dialogue: The poem is cute, right? It’s also a setup for another poem which is carries a lot more meaning. See the setup and payoff below.
