Daily Dialogue — September 4, 2017

Summer: We’ve been like Sid and Nancy for months now.
Tom: Summer, Sid stabbed Nancy, seven times with a kitchen knife, I mean we have some disagreements but I hardly think I’m Sid Vicious.
Summer: No, I’m Sid.
Tom: Oh, so I’m Nancy…

Pancakes arrive.

Summer: Let’s just eat and we’ll talk about it later. Mmm, that is good, I’m really glad we did this. I love these pancakes… What?

Tom gets up and walks away from the table.

Summer: Tom, don’t go! You’re still my best friend!

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Break-Up.

Trivia: Around the time of the movie’s release, director Marc Webb shot a short video for the Internet, which featured Zooey Deschanel as Sid Vicious and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Nancy Spungen, in reference to a conversation in this movie.

Dialogue on Dialogue: “You’re still my best friend.” Like salt in the wounds.

And for good measure another video the pair did to promote (500) Days:
