Daily Dialogue — February 7, 2014

Kristy: If I tell you something, will you promise not to get mad?
Jake: Okay, I promise. 
Kristy: I stopped taking the pill.

— She’s Having a Baby (1988), written by John Hughes

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Pregnancy Announcement.

Trivia: Kevin Smith, a big fan of John Hughes claims this movie to be the favorite of his.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Yet another scene in which the news gets delivered in the negative. “I stopped taking the pill” or “I haven’t had my period for ten days”. Of course, if the point of the pregnancy as a narrative device is to complicate the characters’ lives, that’s probably a good path to take.
