Daily Dialogue — February 24, 2017

“Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?”

— Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely; based on the Marvel comic by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Elevator. Today’s suggestion by Will King.

Trivia: The elevator fight with the Strike Team attempting to take Cap prisoner, is an homage to the Civil War story arc, when Cap refuses to participate in the government’s plan to register all superheroes, and S.H.I.E.L.D. attempts to take him prisoner.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Will: “As the number of passengers mounts, it’s obvious something’s about to happen. This is the kind of dialogue that is more a wink to the audience, as if the writers are saying, ‘Buckle in, here we go!’”
