Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Gangster deaths

As we bid a rollicking farewell to a week’s worth of bar fights [thanks to Dean Scott for that theme], next up another suggestion involving violence: Gangster deaths, suggested by Phil Hopersberger:

All sorts of gangster deaths in movies. The trick is to suggest ones that involve memorabel dialogue, not just hot lead!

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:

January 14-January 20: Overreacting [@davidproenza]

January 21-January 27: Answering children’s questions [BillieJeanVK]

January 28-February 3: Agents [Teddy Pasternak]

February 4-February 10: Falsely accused [churnage]

February 11-February 17: Wedding toasts [Shaula Evans]

February 18-February 24: Last laugh [Vic Tional]

February 25-March 3: Boy meets girl [TaraPhelps]

March 4-March 10: Breakups [Liri Nàvon]

March 11-March 17: Innuendo [Hawkewood]

Okay, coppers! Come and get ‘em! A week’s worth of notable gangster deaths in movies. See you in comments!
