Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Gift-giving

After a week’s worth of Daily Dialogue posts featuring negotiations [JasperLamarCrab], next week’s theme is a seasonally appropriate one: Gift-giving courtesy of plinytheelder.

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:

December 31-January 6: Bar fights [Dean Scott]

January 7-January 13: Gangster deaths [Phil Hopersberger]

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]
