Daily Dialogue — June 10, 2012

Lars Lindstrom: You don’t care.
Karin: We don’t care? We do care!
Lars Lindstrom: No you don’t.
Karin: That is just not true! God! Every person in this town bends over backward to make Bianca feel at home. Why do you think she has so many places to go and so much to do? Huh? Huh? Because of you! Because — all these people — love you! We push her wheelchair. We drive her to work. We drive her home. We wash her. We dress her. We get her up, and put her to bed. We carry her. And she is not petite, Lars. Bianca is a big, big girl! None of this is easy — for any of us — but we do it… Oh! We do it for you! So don’t you dare tell me how we don’t care.

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is pity party, suggested by Teddy Pasternak. Today’s suggestion by Lynelle White.

Trivia: To help Ryan Gosling stay in character, the real doll was treated like an actual person, as is done by the characters in the movie. She was dressed privately in her own trailer and was only present for scenes that she was in.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Again pity party as a turning point for a harsh truth toward the person who is pitying him/herself. And isn’t Emily Mortimer one hell of an actress? What a job she does in this scene. [Gosling ain’t so bad himself1]
