Daily Dialogue — October 2, 2018

Brad: Do you remember crayola crayons? There was this one color… what was it called… oh, yeah. Blizzard blue. That was my favorite color in the world. And until tonight, I didn’t know why. It’s the very color of your eyes.
Leah: My eyes?
Brad: I schedule my entire day just to get a glimpse of you. It can be the worst day ever, but seeing you makes everything okay.
Leah: Does it?
Brad: Yeah. It does. I don’t know why. But I want to know. [places his hand on Leah’s thigh] I want to know you more. [leans in for a kiss] I want to know you today, tomorrow… forever.

Leah moves in for the kiss, then Brad grins.

Brad: Pretty good, huh? Took me six months to memorize that.
Leah: Yeah, and it’s gonna take me six months to forget.

She flings him off the bed.

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Acting.

Trivia: The movie made three hundred nine dollars in ticket sales on a budget of fifteen million dollars.

Dialogue On Dialogue: It pains me to think about how a good script got turned into a bad movie, but at least I have Brad’s ‘crayola crayon come on speech’ to sustain me in my misery. Plus, it’s an example of a character putting on an act, so it slots in with this week’s Daily Dialogue theme.
