Daily Dialogue — February 14, 2012

INT. TRUNK — SAME

As Foley plays the light down the length of her…

FOLEY: You don’t seem all that scared.

KAREN: Of course I am.

FOLEY: You don’t act like it.

KAREN: What do you want me to do? Scream? I don’t think it would help much. (then) I’m just gonna sit back, take it easy, and wait for you to screw up.

FOLEY: Jesus, you sound like my ex-wife.

KAREN: You were married? All those falls, I’m surprised you had time.

FOLEY: It was just a year, give or take a few days. I mean, it’s not like we didn’t get along or anything. We had fun, we just didn’t have that… that thing, you know? That spark, you know what I mean? You gotta have that.

KAREN: (thinking) Uh-huh.

— Foley (George Clooney), Karen (Jennifer Lopez), Out Of Sight (1998), screenplay by Scott Frank, based on the novel by Elmore Lenoard

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is meet-ups, suggested by Teddy Pasternak, who also suggested Out Of Sight.

Trivia: The trunk scene was shot 45 times. However, none of these takes were used in the final cut, as the test audience dislike the long single take. The scene as it appears in the movie was a re-shoot.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Talk about a meet cute!
