Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Argument

The Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Argument, suggested by Mark Twain.

Jonathan Mardukas: Jack, you’re a grown man. You’re in control of your own words.

Jack Walsh: You’re goddamn right I am. Now here come two words for you: Shut the fuck up.

Midnight Run (1988)

Okay, this should be a snap. I don’t think there’s EVER been a movie without an argument. So let’s zero in on seven truly great ones.

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 related to the craft of writing? If so, feel free to lay that wisdom on us.

Consecutive days of Daily Dialogue posts: 3,033.
