Daily Dialogue — May 1, 2018
During the filming of Good Will Hunting 2, Will and Chucky face the smarmy Harvard student Clark — again.
Clark: You’re just no longer any good… Will Hunting. [laughs] Now how do you like them apples?
Ben Affleck: [in huddle with Damon] I don’t like the sound of them apples, Will. What are we gonna do?
Matt Damon: Chucky, it’s hunting season.
Will pulls out his shotgun and blows Clark away.
Ben Affleck: Applesauce. Bitch.
— Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001), written by Kevin Smith
The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Movie Within a Movie.
Trivia: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon mention that one reason to do a film is because they owe the director a favor. It was Writer and Director Kevin Smith who brought the script of Good Will Hunting (1997) to the attention of Producer Harvey Weinstein at Miramax.
Dialogue On Dialogue: One key to a spoof is to be specific to the original. This scene plays off the famous bar scene at many points including the “apple” reference.
