Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Delivering bad news

We have had a week of uplifting dialogue courtesy of Sabina Giado with her suggested them: Confessions of love. Now I figure it’s time to go in another direction: Delivering bad news.

Several movie moments spring to mind, but as usual, I’ll hold off with my ideas, only backfilling if need be over the course of the week. Daily Dialogue is for you!

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?

Also please note:

WE NEED TO REFRESH OUR DDT LIST!

So if you have any ideas for other Daily Dialogue themes, please post those in comments along with suggestions for this week: Delivering bad news!
