Daily Dialogue — June 3, 2018

“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please. We are the Ex-Presidents and as you can see, we are in fact robbing your bank. So with a little cooperation, I won’t have to blow your heads off.”

— Point Break (1991), screenplay by W. Peter Iliff, story by Rich King and W. Peter Iliff

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Bank.

Trivia: Co-Producer Rick King first came up with the idea for the movie, while lounging on the beach. He had been given an L.A. Weekly article, about Los Angeles being the robbery capital of America, and dreamed up a movie about an F.B.I. Agent infiltrating a surf gang that robs banks to fuel their fun.

Dialogue On Dialogue: This dialogue is from the critical final bank robbery in which Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) goes against all his rules leading to a chaotic sequence.
