Daily Dialogue — September 27, 2010

“My name is Dalton Russell. Pay strict attention to what I say because I choose my words carefully and I never repeat myself. I’ve told you my name: that’s the Who. The Where could most readily be described as a prison cell. But there’s a vast difference between being stuck in a tiny cell and being in prison. The What is easy: recently I planned and set in motion events to execute the perfect bank robbery. That’s also the When. As for the Why: beyond the obvious financial motivation, it’s exceedingly simple… because I can. Which leaves us only with the How; and therein, as the Bard would tell us, lies the rub.”

 — Dalton Russell (Clive Owen), Inside Man (2006), written by Russell Gewirtz

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is character’s opening lines suggested by Judith. Inside Man suggested by Scriptonite.

Trivia: The interrogation scenes were mostly ad-libbed.
