Daily Dialogue — December 2, 2010

“Forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown.”

 — Walsh (Joe Mantell), Chinatown (1974), written by Robert Towne

The Daily Dialogue theme this week is five words or less — maximum impact, minimum words — suggested by CWillGoWrite. Chinatown was suggested by Sean Z P Harris.

Trivia: Oscar-nominated actor Joe Mantell, who co-starred in “Marty” and delivered one of movies’ most famous lines in “Chinatown,” died this year at the age of 94.
