Daily Dialogue — September 10, 2015

Indiana: Give me the whip.
Satipo: Throw me the idol. No time to argue! Throw me idol, I’ll throw you the whip!
Indiana: [throws the idol] Give me the whip!

Satipo drops the whip.

Satipo: Adiós, señor.

— Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan, story by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Betrayal. Today’s suggestion by David Proenza.

Trivia: During filming in Tunisia, nearly everyone in the cast and crew got sick, except director Steven Spielberg. It is thought that he avoided illness by eating only the food he’d brought with him: cans and cans of Spaghetti-O’s.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by David: “Greed makes man do unspeakable actions, doesn’t it? I think this might’ve been my cinematic betrayal… And poor Indy, dude just can’t catch a break.”
