The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is first date, suggested by Liz Swan. Today’s suggestion by Teddy Pasternak.

Trivia: The film is based on the autobiographical novel by French author Margueite Duras, whose youthful, real life romance with a Chinese man in colonial Vietnam caused a scandal.

Dialogue On Dialogue: So to cap our week of non-verbal ‘dialogue,’ we have a non-kiss ‘kiss’.
