In honor of the fact I will be teaching one of my favorite classes — Coen Brothers and the Craft of Storytelling — beginning a week from Monday on May 30, let’s wallow in the wonder which is their dialogue.

7 Coen brothers movies. 7 memorable sides of dialogue. If your memory needs jogging, here’s a Yelp thread with a ton of examples.

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 related to the craft of writing? If so, feel free to lay that wisdom on us.

Consecutive days of Daily Dialogue posts: 2,928. We’ve got 3,000 in our sights! Less than 3 months away!

Be a part of the proud Daily Dialogue tradition, make a suggestion, and have your name emblazoned on a blog post which will forever hold a hallowed spot in the Go Into The Story archives!
