Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Arrest

We have a whole new batch of Daily Dialogue themes extending into July!!! That’s right, summer is almost here! And we kick things off with this one: Arrests, suggested by Teddy Pasternak.

The usual drill:

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

* Copy/paste the URL of an accompanying video from MovieClips or YouTube.

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 the lineup for upcoming Daily Dialogue themes:

March 25-March 31: Culture clash [Debbie Moon]

April 1-April 7: Death [SandbaggerOne]

April 8-April 14: Action hero wisecracks [Shaula Evans]
