Daily Dialogue — November 5, 2010

“What do you do, Jack? What do you do? You’re so smart! Right, Jack? You little piece of shit! I got the plan! I’m smarter than you! I’m smarter than you!”

 — Howard Payne (Dennis Hopper), Speed (1994), written by Graham Yost

The Daily Dialogue theme this week is villain’s last words suggested by Blue. Speed suggested by Ferdinand.

Trivia: According to script doctor Joss Whedon, the Alan Ruck character (Stephens) was originally written as an abrasive lawyer, who gets his comeuppance in an unexpected death scene. Whedon re-wrote him as the sympathetic, dull-witted tourist of the final version, but kept the death scene, intending to give it more emotional impact. His character changes were kept, but the death was written out.
