Daily Dialogue — February 9, 2012

SCOTT I… dislike you. Capiche?

TODD INGRAM Tell it to the cleaning lady on Monday.

SCOTT What?

TODD INGRAM Because you’ll be dust by Monday.

SCOTT Um…

TODD INGRAM Because I’ll be pulverizing you in two seconds. And the cleaning lady… she cleans up… dust. She dusts.

SCOTT So what’s on Monday?

TODD INGRAM ‘Cos it’s Friday now and she has weekends off, so… Monday. Right?

ENVY Basically, you can’t win this fight and you’ll have to give up on this girl, ‘cos Todd is going to kill you.

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

Trivia: The scene where Ramona asks Scott how old Knives is, the roulette wheel in his mind has the following choices: “She’s Nobody”, “She’s Forty!”, “Idiot!”, “No Speaka English”, “When’s Dinner”, “Uhh…”, “Tell Pac Man Story”, “No, You Are”, “Pass Out”, “It Was Nothing”, “Who Her?” and “I Gotta Pee”.

Dialogue On Dialogue: This makes fun of the cliche whereby the character making the threat does a very poor job of it.
