Daily Dialogue — February 5, 2018

“You want a job? I got a job for you. Fix up this pigsty! You get a pretty God damn good salary for testing out this bed all day! You want an extra fifty dollars a week, try vacuuming! You want an extra hundred, make this God damn bed! Try opening some God damn windows! That’s why you can’t stand up in here, the God damn place smells like a coffin!”

— Carnal Knowledge (1971), written by Jules Feiffer

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Bed.

Trivia: The fight scene between Jack Nicholson and Ann-Margret took a week to shoot, and at the end of it, both performers had lost their voices.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Bobbie (Ann Margaret) and Jonathan (Jack Nicholson) have used this bed many times for sexual exploits, but now that their relationship has gone south, the bed serves as a flash point for this argument.
