Daily Dialogue — September 27, 2012

“You know when I was nine years old, I had kind of a rough time. A lot of people thought I was pretty mixed up. But there was one person who got me through it. He did everything right. And thanks to him today, I’m the happiest, most confident, and most well-adjusted person in this world. Dad? I love you. You’re the greatest.”

— Kevin Buckman (Paul Keeley), Parenthood (1989), screenplay by Lowell Ganz & Babaloo Mandel, story by Lowell Ganz & Babaloo Mandel & Ron Howard

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is acceptance speech, recommended by @TheBrokenCoco.

Trivia: This movie is based on Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Lowell Ganz, and Babaloo Mandel’s experiences as parents.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Okay, maybe not an acceptance speech per se, but in the spirit of the theme. And a great bit of business whereby we go ‘inside’ Gil’s imagination to see his perfect parental fantasy.
