Daily Dialogue — March 2, 2014

“Ah! Ah! AHHHH!”

— Alien (1979), screenplay by Dan O’Bannon, story by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is agony.

Trivia: The rumor that the cast, except for John Hurt, did not know what would happen during the chestburster scene is partly true. The scene had been explained for them, but they did not know specifics. For instance, Veronica Cartwright did not expect to be sprayed with blood.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Sometimes the sheer physical pain is such, the only dialogue a character can screan is something akin to “Ahh!”
