The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Stoned. Today’s suggestion by Katha.

Trivia: Some of the marijuana plants used in the shooting were real. The British government gave permission to the filming crew the use of 150 marijuana plants, under supervision of the authorities. This meant that the plants had someone guarding them on the set, and watching over its transportation to a nearby storage facility for its safekeeping at night.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Katha: “The two old ladies are completely stoned and act like little children (e.g. repeating everything). But they still use their nice and kind and cute words.”
