Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Seduction

The Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Seduction, suggested by Markham Cook.

“Get out! Get out before I call my dad. He trusts you; you’re his best friend. This will be the end of everything.”

Okay, if we can’t come up with seven great sides of dialogue from seduction scenes, we don’t belong in the business. Time to arouse your memory cells and rise to the challenge.

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 our lineup for upcoming Daily Dialogue themes:

November 10-November 16: Embarrassing Moment
November 17-November 23: Friendship
November 24-November 30: Proposal [Aamir Mirza]
December 1-December 7: Leadership
December 8-December 14: Quitting
December 15-December 21: Negotiation [Michael Waters]
