Daily Dialogue theme next week: Fear

We move from this week’s theme (Prayer) to next week’s: Fear, suggested by Gordon.

Remember, we need dialogue here. And not just “AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!” or “NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!” That alone may make this a challenge. Can we come up with seven memorable movie moments in which a character expresses fear in a verbal way other than this:

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?
