Daily Dialogue — January 12, 2020

“I think we should have a drink to the new Mrs. Rusty Trawler.”

— Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), screenplay by George Axelrod, novel by Truman Capote

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Drunk.

Trivia: Truman Capote sold the film rights for $650,000. He was later profoundly annoyed to discover later on that the man who adapted his novel — George Axelrod — earned more than he did.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Audrey Hepburn playing Holly Golightly does a bang-up job in this scene as she’s obviously had way too much to drink.
