Daily Dialogue — May 3, 2017

PETER (to himself): Well, they weren’t wrong about the view.
LIZZIE: You need something?
PETER: I’m so sorry, I was given the key to room 1221.
LIZZIE: This is room 1221. My 1221.
PETER: Oh, right, your 1221. Well, that makes perfect sense.
LIZZIE: What makes perfect sense?
PETER: Well, you see, I’d reserved a more modest room, and now I’ll go down to the front desk and thank them for this dreadful error.

The Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Meet-Cute. Today’s suggestion by Melinda Mahaffey.

Trivia: Getting the actors to play professional-looking tennis proved much more difficult than anticipated. Eventually, it was decided to film them performing the strokes and digitally add the ball afterwards.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Melinda: “Writing this out, I realized the scene is a little pervy, but somehow the romcom genre makes it seems cute and endearing.”
