Daily Dialogue theme next week: Memorable 1-Word Lines

The Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Memorable 1-Word Lines.

“STELLA!!!”

Some of the most memorable lines in cinematic history have been one word. I can think of at least a dozen examples. How about you? Let’s see if we can come up with 7 stella… er, I mean STELLAR examples of 1-word dialogue.

Take part in the grand Daily Dialogue tradition — 2,500+ consecutive days and counting! How about your suggestion for this week’s theme?

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.
