Daily Dialogue — November 12, 2014

Phyllis: I’m a friend, uh, business associate of your father’s. 
Billy: Do you like fried chicken?

— Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), screenplay by Robert Benton, novel by Avery Corman

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Embarrassing Moment.

Trivia: Meryl Streep was originally cast in the role of Ted’s one-night-stand, eventually played by JoBeth Williams. When Kate Jackson was contractually unable to accept the role of Joanna, it was offered to Streep.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Yet another caught-in-the-buff scene, this one worth it with Billy’s response about fried chicken. Such a great line!

If you have any suggestions for this theme, please post in comments.
