Daily Dialogue — July 12, 2017

Father Levesque: You know your notion of a true meaning of a miracle… well… I just want to thank you.

Ned tries to shrug off the gratitude.

Father Levesque: I’m sorry if I disturbed you.
Ned: Oh, well, uh… I was just, uh…
Father Levesque: The word you’re looking for is praying, I believe.

Ned breaks down into tears.

— We’re No Angels (1989), screenplay by David Mamet

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Church. Today’s suggestion by Greg Netterville.

Trivia: This remake of We’re No Angels (1955) is based on three sources: (1) The original 1955 movie We’re No Angels (1955); (2) the American play, “My Three Angels”, written by Bella Spewack and Sam Spewack; and (3) the French play, “La Cuisine Des Anges”, written by Albert Husson, the American play in turn also being based on the French play.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Greg: “Ahhhh, the good-old days… Back when comedy was mined out of situation and relied on wit. Vintage De Niro, gotta love it!”
