Daily Dialogue — December 2, 2018

“You complete me.”

— Jerry Maguire (1996), written by Cameron Crowe

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Callback.

Trivia: In the elevator scene when Jerry and Dorothy spot a man signing to his girlfriend and Dorothy translates it as “You complete me”, the man appears to be using Pidgin sign (basically American Sign Language signs in English word order) or possibly a form of Manually Coded English. What he literally says is “You make me feel whole.”

Dialogue On Dialogue: This is a callback with the setup in sign language and the payoff in dialogue.
