Daily Dialogue theme next week: Excuse

Join the Daily Dialogue team: 3,124 consecutive days and counting.

The Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Excuse.

Name the movie [answer at bottom of post]:

Characters caught in the act. Or screwed up big time. They tell the truth. Or lie. But they’re forced to make an excuse. Those scenes can be rife with emotion and telling of a character’s nature.

This week, think of movie moments in which a character makes an excuse for him/herself.

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: 3,124.
