Daily Dialogue — January 28, 2014

Lenny: Are you Dick Ritchie?
Floyd: Uh, no.
Lenny: Do you know a Clarence Worley?
Floyd: Yes.
Lenny: Do you know where we can find him?
Floyd: Yes, I do. Oh.
Lenny: Well, where?
Floyd: At the Beverly Ambassador.
Lenny: Where’s that?
Floyd: Well, you go–No. Yeah. Go down– Go down Beach–You guys want to smoke a bowl or–
(Shotgun cocks)
Floyd: Oh. Go down Beachwood and drive a while, and then you’re gonna turn right, okay? And then you go, and you keep drivin’, and you keep drivin’.

— True Romance (1993), written by Quentin Tarantino

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is directions, suggested by Bretton Zinger. Today’s suggestion by David Laudenslager.

Trivia: It was Brad Pitt’s idea for his character to be a stoner who never leaves the couch.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by David: “A stoner giving directions to the mob. A brief scene where Floyd cements his trickster archetype. He is Dick and Clarence’s ally but this is the second time where he puts his friend’s in jeopardy because he tells the bad guys where to go.”
