Daily Dialogue — January 9, 2015

Shaun: Do you want anything from the shop?
Ed: Cornettos.

— Shaun of the Dead (2004), written by Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Hangover.

Trivia: According to writer-director Edgar Wright in the DVD commentary, when Ed attempts to cheer Shaun up at the Winchester with plans of binge drinking, he is actually summarizing the events of the next day (Z-day) entirely in drinking references. “Bloody Mary” — Checkout Girl, “Bite at the king’s head” — Phillip, “Couple” — David and Di, “Little Princess” — Liz, “Stagger back” — impersonate zombies, “Bar For Shots” — firing rifle.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Sometimes a hangover can blithely help you stay out of trouble… at least for a little while.

If you have a suggestion for this week’s theme, please post in comments — and thanks!
