Daily Dialogue — December 5, 2019

Yuppie Woman 1: Gourmet baby food! I’ve never seen this before.
Yuppie Woman 2: What a fabulous idea. (to cashier) How much are they?
J.C. Wiatt: Three fifty a jar.
Yuppie Woman 1: Cheap.
J.C. Wiatt: Well, four fifty… five fifty. They’re five fifty a jar.

— Baby Boom (1987), written by Nancy Meyers, Charles Shyer

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Sales.

Trivia: The Coen brothers were stuck in the writing of Miller’s Crossing, so they attended a screening of Baby Boom. They emerged from the movie theater with the idea which would become Barton Fink. Only the Coen brothers could somehow make that creative connection.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Formerly a high-powered business exec, here we see J.C. learning the ropes of sales working directly with consumers.
