Daily Dialogue — December 14, 2016

“Something that really cooks. All right, all right this is an oldie, but uh, it’s an oldie where I come from. Alright guys, let’s do some blues riff in B, watch me for the changes, and try and keep up, okay?”

— Back to the Future (1985), written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Fish-Out-Of-Water, suggested by Will King. Today’s post recommended by George “Clay” Mitchell.

Trivia: Chuck Barry is the original performer of “Johnny B. Goode” played by Marty McFly, which makes this line of dialogue work:

“Chuck, Chuck, its’ your cousin. Your cousin Marvin Barry. You know that new sound you’re lookin for? Well, listen to this.”

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary from Clay: “Marty tries to fit, but his love for performing gets the better of him and he rolls out some riffs and licks not to be heard for at least another 20 years or so. Intentional or not… Marty is a fish out of water at an Enchantment Under the Sea Dance.
