Daily Dialogue — July 25, 2013

Annie: Are you fucking kidding me?
Annie’s Mom: Annie?
Annie: No, mom. Mother fucking Paris? I told you about Paris, Helen! I told you about this whole idea!
Lillian: Annie, calm down…
Annie: No, Lillian! What are you gonna go, you’re gonna go to Paris with Helen now? What are you gonna, you guys gonna ride around on bikes with berets and fucking baguettes in the basket on the front of your bikes? Oh how romantic! What woman gives another woman a trip to Paris? Am I right? Lesbian! We’re all thinking it, aren’t we?
Becca: [quickly] I’m not.
Megan: I was.
Annie: Okay! Yes, we’re all thinking it, right?
Annie’s Mom: Annie…
Annie: Lillian, this is not the you that I know! The you that I know would have walked in here and rolled your eyes and would have thought that this was completely over the top, ridiculous, and stupid! Look at this shower! Look at that *fucking* cookie! Did you really think that this group of women was gonna finish that cookie? Really, and you know that reminds me actually; I never got a chance to try that fucking cookie!

— Bridesmaids (2011), written by Kristen Wiig, Annie Mumolo

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is tantrums, suggested by Aarthi Ramanathan.

Trivia: The cast spent about two weeks improvising with each other, some of which was incorporated into the movie.

Dialogue On Dialogue: This is a big moment in Annie’s metamorphosis. She enters the story with a romanticized view of love. This deceit on the part of Lillian is the nail in the coffin, Annie realizing that even weddings, which are supposedly the height of romance, are as flawed as real life.
