Daily Dialogue — May 27, 2016

“Where is pancakes house?”

— Fargo (1996), written by Joel Coen & Ethan Coen

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: The Coen Brothers.

Trivia: Gaear Grimsrud has 18 lines of dialogue in the entire movie and never says more than a complete sentence at one time. By comparison, Carl Showalter has over 150 lines of dialogue.

Dialogue On Dialogue: I picked this because the Coens insisted that Peter Stormare, the actor who played Gaear Grimsrud, say “pancakes house,” not “pancake house” which is the actual name of the restaurant. Yes, the Coens are that precise when it comes to their attention to detail.
