Daily Dialogue — January 19, 2014

Bobby Pellitt: You’re three hours late. What’s the deal?
Kurt Buckman: I was at your father’s funeral.
Bobby Pellitt: Uh huh. Well, maybe that excuse would have flown when my dad was here, but I’m in charge now.

— Horrible Bosses (2011), screenplay by Michael Markowitz and John Francis Daley & Jonathan M. Goldstein, story by Michael Markowitz

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is The Boss, suggested by kevinpgoulet.

Trivia: To promote this film, Warner Bros. Pictures Canada set up a 12-foot Voodoo doll resembling a corporate boss in downtown Montreal. People were given the chance to vent their office frustrations on the doll by stabbing and hitting it with large needles. They were also encouraged to share their best/worst boss story for the chance of winning passes to an advance screening of the film.

Dialogue On Dialogue: The story conceit of this movie is three bad bosses harassing three harried employees. A hit at the box office and a sequel in the works.
