Daily Dialogue — September 21, 2012

John: I can’t talk to you. What am I doing? I’m just gonna mess this up.
Molly: Why not?
John: ‘Coz you’re a really hot girl and I’m just… I’m sorry.
Molly: You’re not messing it up.
John: Are you flirting with me? This is insane. I’m like Shrek.
Molly: I didn’t say that.
John: What are you doing here in the forest with Shrek?
Molly: I was gonna pee in the bushes, and you took my spot.

— John (John), Molly (Marisa Tomei), Cyrus (2010), written by Mark Duplass and Jay Duplass

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is meet-cute, recommended by robfrappier. Today’s suggestion by Teddy Pasternak.

Trivia: Although there was a definitive script, the Duplass brothers encouraged their actors to improvise as much as possible.

Dialogue On Dialogue: A nice reversal here where the object of the flirt turns around and starts flirting herself.
