Daily Dialogue — February 8, 2011

“I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.”

— Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson), Taken (2008), written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is death threats, suggested by Chris Schipper. Today’s suggestion by Lloyd Morgan.

Trivia: Before any action takes place, Bryan already has scratches to the left side of his face. Hinting at his “spare time” activities.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Compare this threat to the one from Fatal Attraction we had for Monday’s Daily Dialogue. You just don’t buy that Dan the Yuppie has it in him to kill Alex. He just blurts “if you tell my wife, I’ll kill you” as a response to Alex’s threat. But this has some bite, words spoken with quite conviction that suggest this dude knows what the hell he’s talking about. And of course… he does.
