Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Abduction

The Daily Dialogue theme next week: Abduction.

“Give me back my son!”

When you think about it, there are a lot of movies with kidnapping as a central plot device. This should be easy to come up with 7 great movie examples of abduction dialogue.

The usual drill:

* Copy/paste dialogue from IMDB Quotes or some other transcript source.

* Copy/paste the URL of an accompanying video from YouTube or some other video source.

I’d also ask you to think about why the dialogue is notable. Is there anything about the dialogue which provides some takeaway re screenwriting?

Here is our lineup for upcoming Daily Dialogue themes:
