Daily Dialogue — November 15, 2010

“Women like cuddly toys, don’t they? They like to hug them and squeeze them and poke their eyes out and rip their fucking limbs off. I avoid confrontation, I know it. But if you grew up in Glasgow in the 1970s, you’d avoid confrontation too. All I want is an easy life. I want to grow some vegetables, smoke some reefer, sing some carols at Christmas time. And who knows, one day, I’d like to be a dad and raise a couple of calm fucking children. But that’s it, I’ve had it, I’ve fucking had enough. I’m going. No more Mr. Cuddly Toy. I’m not hanging around here to be a whipping boy for Ganja Grace and Captain Nicky, the fucking lobster queen. I’m fucking going! I’m going, I’m going! I’m fucking out of here! You see, before I go, I’m gonna see both of these women and give them both a piece of my mind.”

 — Matthew Stewart (Craig Ferguson), Saving Grace (2000), screenplay by Craig Ferguson & Mark Crowdy, story by Mark Crowdy

The Daily Dialogue theme this week is monologues, suggested by Annika W. Saving Grace suggested by ashleyfmiller.

Trivia: Some of the marijuana plants used in the shooting were real. The British government gave permission to the filming crew the use of 150 marijuana plants, under supervision of the authorities. This meant that the plants had someone guarding them on the set, and watching over its transportation to a nearby storage facility for its safekeeping at night.
