Daily Dialogue — February 9, 2014

John Doe: She begged for her life, Detective.
Somerset: Shut up!
John Doe: She begged for her life and the life of the baby inside her.

— Se7en (1995), written by Andrew Kevin Walker

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Pregnancy Announcement.

Trivia: Andrew Kevin Walker had enormous difficulty getting a studio to buy the rights to his script because he was a complete unknown in Hollywood. Allegedly, he put together a list of agents that represented writers that work in the crime and thriller genres, and just called each one up until he got a positive response.

Dialogue On Dialogue: After a week’s worth of traditional pregnancy announcements, here’s a not so conventional approach: The father to be being informed by a serial killer… that he is not going to be a father.
