Daily Dialogue — November 19, 2013

Bernadette ‘Benny’ Hogan: Have… have you ever gone all the way with a girl?
Jack Foley: No. Not quite.
Bernadette ‘Benny’ Hogan: Would you like to?
Jack Foley: Now?
Bernadette ‘Benny’ Hogan: No. It wasn’t an invitation — just a request for information.

— Circle of Friends (1995), screenplay by Andrew Davies, novel by Maeve Binchy

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is First Date, suggested by igetsbuckets. Today’s suggestion is by Barbara Thomas.

Trivia: Minnie Driver gained 30 pounds for the role of Benny.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Barbara: “overweight daughter of a shopkeeper. But this conversation reveals why Jack is so attracted to her. The film is set in the 1950′s, where Benny’s openness, self-confidence and inability to be coy or play games set her apart from other girls.”
