Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Dinner scene

For a week, we’ve been exploring All Is Lost movie moments, courtesy of a suggestion by Turambar.

Next week’s theme: Dinner scene offered up by Liri Nàvon.

“Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go fuck himself,
and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.”

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 the lineup for upcoming Daily Dialogue themes:

June 24-June 30: Interrogations [Def Earz]

July 1-July 7: Profanity [JasperLamarCrab]

July 8-July 14: Begging for one’s life [Despina]

July 15-July 21: Horror scene [@JaimePrimak]

See you in comments for your suggestions featuring this week’s theme: Dinner scene.
