Daily Dialogue — January 9, 2020

“Christine, have you got anything to drink? Any little thing at all, I’m not the fussy type. I prefer bourbon and water, but any little thing any little thing will do.”

— The Bad Seed (1956), screenplay by John Lee Mahin, play by Maxwell Anderson, novel by William March

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Drunk. Today’s suggestion by @ElizaReynick.

Trivia: The actress playing Hortense (Eileen Heckart) was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award.

Dialogue On Dialogue: There is a reason Hortense is drunk. She is grieving the recent death of her young son and she believes Christine’s daughter had something to do with it.
