Theo: She’s bleeding everywhere!

— Children of Men (2006), screenplay by Alfonso Cuarón & Timothy J. Sexton and David Arata and Mark Fergus & Hawk Ostby, novel by P.D. James

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Unexpected Death, suggested by Angry Cyborg.

Trivia: After screenwriter Paul Chart wrote the first version of the screenplay, it was re-written a few times by other screenwriters including Mark Fergus, Hawk Ostby, Timothy J. Sexton, and Alfonso Cuarón. Finally the final version was written by David Arata, Cuarón, and Sexton. Clive Owen’s insights greatly impressed Cuarón, and he contributed a great deal of uncredited work to the final script.
