Daily Dialogue — January 1, 2013

Shane and Wilson face each other in a bar.

Shane: So you’re Jack Wilson?
Wilson: What’s that mean to you, Shane?
Shane: I’ve heard about you.
Wilson: What have you heard, Shane?

Shane moves opposite Wilson.

Shane: I’ve heard that you’re a low-down Yankee liar.
Wilson: Prove it.

— Shane (1953), screenplay by A.B. Guthrie Jr., novel by Jack Schaefer

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is bar fights, suggested by Dean Scott. Today’s suggestion by Michael McGruther.

Trivia: When writer A.B. Guthrie Jr. came on board the project, he didn’t know what a screenplay looked like.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Of course, we have to include a good old-fashioned Western shoot-out for this week’s theme. And this one is a classic with Shane taking out three bad guys.
