Colin Sullivan: I can’t wait to see you explain this one to a fucking Suffolk County jury you fucking cocksucker. This is gonna be fucking fun!

Colin Sullivan: Just fucking kill me. Just fucking kill me.

Billy: I am killing you.

[Door opens, Billy gets shot]

— Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), Billy (Leonardo DiCaprio), The Departed (2006), screenplay by William Monahan, based on screenplay “Mou gaan do” by Alan Mak and Felix Chong

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is elevators, suggested by Summertime who also suggested The Departed.

Trivia: Warner Bros. bought the remake rights to the film for US$1.75 million in 2003.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Two turns in this scene. First Colin shifts from belligerence to pleading. Second the power dynamic shifts when Billy gets shot. Powerful scene.
