Daily Dialogue — February 22, 2018

“May I interject for a second? As a Burger Shack employee for the past three years, if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that if you’re craving White Castle, the burgers here just don’t cut it. In fact, just thinking about those tender little White Castle burgers with those little, itty-bitty grilled onions that just explode in your mouth like flavor crystals every time you bite into one… just makes me want to burn this motherfucker down. Come on, Pookie, let’s burn this motherfucker down! Come on, Pookie! Let’s burn it, Pookie! Let’s burn this motherfucker down! Let’s burn it down! Let’s burn it! So you guys maybe should just suck it up and go to White Castle.”

— Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004), written by Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Fast Food.

Trivia: There were no White Castles in the filming location so a building was trucked in.

Dialogue On Dialogue: This scene is a great reminder for writers to dig into their stories secondary characters because they can provide some really memorable moments… like this one from a character named Burger Shack Employee, played by Anthony Anderson.
