Daily Dialogue — June 30, 2018

“Show us the merchandise or you’re going to lose another head, Jeebs.”

— Men In Black (1997), screenplay by Ed Solomon, screen story by Ed Solomon, comic by Lowell Cunningham

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Aliens.

Trivia: Much of the initial script drafts were set underground, with locations ranging from Kansas to Washington, D.C., and Nevada. Barry Sonnenfeld decided to change the location to New York City, because he felt New Yorkers would be tolerant of aliens who behaved oddly while disguised. He also felt much of the city’s structures resembled flying saucers and rocket ships.

Dialogue On Dialogue: This is the first scene in which Jay realizes there are actual aliens hiding on Earth.
