Daily Dialogue — July 10, 2018

Cat Man: Check that yokel with the long hair.
Deputy: I checked him already. Looks like we might have to bring him up to the Hilton before it’s all over with.
Cat Man: Ha! I think she’s cute.
Deputy: Isn’t she, though. I guess we put ’em in the women’s cell, don’t you reckon?
Cat Man: Oh, I think we ought to put ’em in a cage and charge an admission to see ‘em.

— Easy Rider (1969), written by Peter Fonda & Dennis Hopper & Terry Southern

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Hair.

Trivia: In order to inspire more vitriolic commentary from the local men in the Louisiana diner, Dennis Hopper told them the characters of Billy, Wyatt, and George had raped and killed a girl outside of town.

Dialogue On Dialogue: The threatening nature of the local men toward Billy, Wyatt, and George is a portent of things to come that very night. And it all starts with commentary about their long hair.
