Daily Dialogue — February 23, 2019

“Let me get right to the point. I’m smarter than you. And I’m gonna find out what I wanna know. And I’m gonna get it from you whether you like it or not.”

— The Usual Suspects (1995), written by Christopher McQuarrie

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Interrogation

Trivia: Christopher McQuarrie had previously worked for a detective agency, and this influenced the depiction of criminals and law enforcement officials in the script.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Boy, does the line cited above look silly by the end of the movie. Mr. Smart Guy gets outsmarted by Verbal in this interrogation gone awry.
