The Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Aaron Sorkin.

“But before that, you sold carbonated sugar water, right? I sat in a fucking garage with Wozniak and invented the future, because artists lead and hacks ask for a show of hands.”

No one writes dialogue quite like Aaron Sorkin, so in one respect this should be an easy week — many memorable scenes from which to choose. But the hard thing is… which ones?

Let’s see where our journey through Sorkin Land takes us this week. Click Write a response and post your recommendations there.

What to do:

  • 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.
  • Any trivia about the movie which you think would be of interest to readers, we always welcome that.

I’d also ask you to think about why the dialogue is notable. Is there anything about the dialogue which provides some takeaway related to the craft of writing? If so, feel free to share your Dialogue On Dialogue.
