Daily Dialogue — June 28, 2012

Sean: I think there are monsters, like real ones! I heard my dad talking on the phone to a guy down at the police station tonight. There was a guy down there screaming he was a werewolf, and they shot him! And the body disappeared from the coroner van, the coroner guy was dead!
Rudy: So what? He got shot and the werewolf took his body?
Sean: No you bean head! He WAS a werewolf! Maybe
Rudy: Yeah but if they shot him?
Sean: It must’ve been regular bullets, not silver ones. Look I know this sounds stupid, a mummy disappeared from the museum tonight.
Eugene: Mummy came in my house!
Sean: Guys, Dracula might be here too.
Patrick: Oh man, Fat Kid farted!
Horace: Did not!
Sean: God damn will you guys SHUT UP? Didn’t you hear a word I said? These guys are dead, get a clue! Something’s out there and it’s killing people! And if it’s monsters, nobody’s going to do a thing about it except us!

— Sean (Andre Gower), Rudy (Ryan Lambert), Eugene (Michael Faustino), Patrick (Robby Kiger), Horace (Brent Chalem), The Monster Squad (1987), written by Shane Black and Fred Dekker

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is the Herald’s Call suggested by JasperLamarCrab. Today’s suggestion by DJ Holloway.

Trivia: According to Director Fred Dekker, Shane Black’s first draft of the screenplay was so huge that the opening of the film featured Van Helsing accompanied by zeppelin’s and hundreds of men on horseback storming Dracula’s castle. Dekker stated that this sequence would have cost more than the final budget of the film.

Dialogue On Dialogue: DJ offers this observation: “I love how the kids stay kids, unable to focus for too long on even the most serious of conversations. Fun stuff.”
