Daily Dialogue — December 18, 2019

“Excuse me, lady. That upon which you sit is mine.”

— It Happened One Night (1934), screen play by Robert Riskin, based on the short story by Samuel Hopkins Adams

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Bus.

Trivia: One of only three movies to win the Big 5 Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay.

Dialogue On Dialogue: In an era when writers had to use subtext and subtlety to avoid censorship, the line of dialogue featured above is a great example of a sexual innuendo.

This is a fantastic movie. If you haven’t seen it, watch it. You’ll thank me later.
