Daily Dialogue — December 13, 2015

JENNIFER NELSON: Donna, may I borrow a dime please? I have to call my dog. Thanks. 
DONNA: Did you say you will calling your dog? 
JENNIFER NELSON: Yeah. You know with me away at work all day the poor thing doesn‘t get any exercise. So whenever the phone rings he runs around the house barking like crazy … Four, five. Okay, that‘s all I have time for, baby. See you later. 
DONNA: Vladimir. 
JENNIFER NELSON: There you are. Thanks.

— The Glass Bottom Boat (1966), written by Everett Freeman

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Misunderstanding. Today’s suggestion by Katha.

Trivia: The song “Soft As The Starlight” was co written by Curly Howard, of Three Stooges fame, along with Joe Lubin.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Katha: “Her habit to call her dog will lead to lots of misunderstanding: She is suspected of being a spy and her love-interest fears with Vladimir a rival in love. I love the movie for Doris day‘s fight with a floor sweeping robot.”
