Daily Dialogue — October 28, 2012

Paul: Know what you need on that? Ham, cheese and sardines. 
Norman: I don’t want sardines.
Paul: I’ll show you

Paul prepares the sandwich with cheese and sardines.

Paul: I should write an article. “Macleans conquers chutes.” And you could get in the school paper I bet.
Norman: I don’t want sardines.

Paul squashes down the sandwich. Norman leaps up and flings Paul away.

Norman [yells]: I don’t want any goddammed sardines!

— Paul Maclean (Brad Pitt), Norman Maclean (Craig Sheffer), A River Runs Through It (1992), screenplay by Richard Friedenberg, story by Norman Maclean

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is sibling rivalry, suggested by Traci Nell Peterson.

Trivia: George Coonenbergs was a retired railroad engineer. He taught Brad Pitt, Craig Sheffer and Tom Skerritt how to fly-fish for this movie. He also taught fly-fishing and fly-tying to his fellow residents, and staff members, of his retirement community. He grew up near the Maclean family in Missoula, MT. His family’s cabin was built next door to the Maclean family cabin in Seeley Lake, Montana. He learned to fly fish and tie flies from Rev. John Maclean, and was considered by Paul Maclean to be his best friend. The friendship between the Maclean and Coonenbergs families continues to this day, into its fourth generation.

Dialogue On Dialogue: A longtime simmering sibling rivalry erupts… over a ham sandwich.
