Daily Dialogue — June 28, 2018

Guy Fleegman: I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all.
Gwen DeMarco: They are so cute.
Guy Fleegman: Sure, they’re cute now, but in a second they’re gonna get mean, and they’re gonna get ugly somehow, and there’s gonna be a million more of them. Did you guys ever watch the show?

— Galaxy Quest (1999), screenplay by David Howard and Robert Gordon, story by David Howard

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Aliens.

Trivia: According to writer David Howard, the continuous melodic yet monotone voice of Thermian commander Mathesar was an original idea that Enrico Colantoni brought to the character. Everyone on the set loved it so much, they kept it in the shoot.

Dialogue On Dialogue: The line “Did you guys ever watch the show” takes the meta story concept to a whole other level of meta.
