Daily Dialogue — March 8, 2017

“Oh, my God. I’m back. I’m home. All the time it was… We finally really did it. You maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!”

— Planet of the Apes (1968), screenplay by Michael Wilson and Rod Serling, based on the novel by Pierre Boulle

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Last words. Today’s suggestion by Will King.

Trivia: The final scene with Taylor coming across the Statue of Liberty was suggested by Rod Serling.

Dialogue on Dialogue: Commentary by Will: “With as many times as this scene has been spoofed and parodied over the intervening years, it’s hard now to fathom just how much of a shock this final scene was when the movie was first released.”
