Daily Dialogue — September 25, 2018

“Oh, it’s not the speed really so much, I just wish I hadn’t drunk all that cough syrup this morning.”

— Stripes (1981), written by Len Blum & Daniel Goldberg and Harold Ramis

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Taxi.

Trivia: According to Ivan Reitman, Bill Murray insisted that Harold Ramis be cast as his friend for two reasons: 1. They were long-time friends in real life. 2. So Ramis could help Murray re-write his dialogue or help him improvise.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Winger (Murray) had to have this exchange with his passenger in order to give up his job as a taxi driver. That combined with a few other plot twists set him up to join the Army.
