Helen: I went to Thailand recently with my husband, Perry, and there’s a beautiful saying that I learned there. [Speaking Thai] It means, “You are a part of me, a part that I could never live without. And I hope and I pray that I never have to.” Khob-kun-Ka
Bows to the crowd.
Helen: Khob-kun-Ka, khob-kun-Ka. And that’s it for tonight! Thank you for coming!
Annie: [interjecting] Really quick!
Helen: Thank you all for coming. The dessert wine is out.
The two struggle for control of the microphone.
Annie: I just wanted to say really quick.
Helen: [calling out] Consuelo!
Annie: Really quick! Speaking of Consuelo, Lillian and I took Spanish together in school. And so, I would just like to say to you and to everyone here, “Gracias para vivar en la casa, en la escuelas, en… en la azul… “markada”. Tienes con “bibir” en las Fortuashla?” and gracias!
— Bridesmaids (2011), written by Kristen Wiig, Annie Mumolo
The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Embarrassment.
Trivia: Judd Apatow pushed hard for wild, physical comedy, while Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig preferred to go for subtler comedy. The film’s most notorious sequence — the diarrhea scene — was largely at the insistence of Apatow and director Paul Feig.
Dialogue On Dialogue: Bridesmaids offers twice the embarrassment in this scene featuring Annie and Helen dueling to see who can top the other when toasting the bride-to-be Lillian.
