Daily Dialogue — March 19, 2016

13-Year-Old Girl in Jewelry Store: Excuse me.
Annie: Oh, hi. 
13-Year-Old Girl in Jewelry Store: I’m looking for a birthday gift for a best friend. I want to get her a necklace that says, “Best friends forever.”
Annie: You sure you want it to say forever?
13-Year-Old Girl in Jewelry Store: Yeah, why?
Annie: Forever?
13-Year-Old Girl in Jewelry Store: Forever.
Annie: I don’t think you guys will be best friends forever. No offense, but… the friends you have when your younger, sometimes… you grow apart. Whey you grow older, maybe she’ll find a new best friend. And maybe she’ll be more successful than you are, and prettier, and richer, and skinnier. And they end up doing everything together.
13-Year-Old Girl in Jewelry Store: You’re weird.
Annie: I’m not weird. OK?
13-Year-Old Girl in Jewelry Store: Yes, you are.
Annie: No, I’m not! And you started it.
13-Year-Old Girl in Jewelry Store: No, you started it! Did you forget to take your Xanax this morning?
Annie: Oh, I feel bad for your parents.
13-Year-Old Girl in Jewelry Store: I feel bad for your face.
Annie: OK… well, call me when your boobs come in.
13-Year-Old Girl in Jewelry Store: You call me when yours come in.
Annie: What do you have, four boyfriends?
13-Year-Old Girl in Jewelry Store: Exactly.
Annie: OK… yeah, have fun having a baby at your prom.
13-Year-Old Girl in Jewelry Store: You look like an old mop.
Annie: You know, you’re not as popular as you think you are.
13-Year-Old Girl in Jewelry Store: I am very popular.
Annie: [sticks tongue in cheek and mimics fellatio] Oh, I’m sure you are… very… popular.
13-Year-Old Girl in Jewelry Store: Well, you’re an old, single loser who’s never going to have any friends.
Annie: You’re a little cunt!

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Customer Service, suggested by David Proenza.

Trivia: To date, this is the most financially successful Judd Apatow production.

Dialogue On Dialogue: A telling scene in that it expresses Annie’s feelings about Helen, her rival for Lillian’s affection, and her interaction leads to losing her job. So it’s not only an entertaining scene, it reveals character and moves the plot forward.
