Daily Dialogue — January 12, 2017

“You wanna know the secret to surviving air travel? After you get where you’re going, take off your shoes and your socks then walk around on the rug bare foot and make fists with your toes.”

— Die Hard (1988), screenplay by Jeb Stuart and Steven E. de Souza, novel by Roderick Thorp

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Advice.

Trivia: When John McClane runs through the glass shards in his ‘bare’ feet after Hans has his men shoot out the glass partitions in the computer room, Bruce Willis is in fact wearing special ‘rubber’ shoes designed to look like his own bare feet. One can in fact see this if looking closely as his feet appear quite unnaturally large in some of these crucial ‘barefoot’ scenes.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Great setup for a problem McLane faces later on, having taken off his shoes in the bathroom in Nakatomi tower.
