Daily Dialogue — December 29, 2013

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup!
and surely I’ll buy mine!
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

— It’s a Wonderful Life (1946), screenplay Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett and Frank Capra, story by Philip Van Doren Stern

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is Christmas.

Trivia: Originally ended with “Ode to Joy”, not “Auld Lang Syne”.

Dialogue On Dialogue: This week, I ran with the theme of Christmas songs. “Auld Lang Syne” serves as a perfect segue into next week’s theme: New Year’s Eve.”
