Daily Dialogue — January 18, 2019

Roger is sitting on a booby-trapped toilet.

Roger: Why didn’t they plant the bomb in Trish’s stove?
Riggs: Yeah. Think of all the needless suffering that could’ve ended there!

They both laugh.

Roger: I’m gonna die on a toilet, aren’t I?
Riggs: Guys like you don’t die on toilets.

— Lethal Weapon 2 (1989), screenplay by Jeffrey Boam, story by Shane Black & Warren Murphy, characters by Shane Black

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Bathroom.

Trivia: The “bomb in the toilet” sequence was used as an early teaser trailer for the movie. The trailer ended with the toilet landing on Murtaugh’s car and the voice-over announcer saying “They’re not taking any more crap!”

Dialogue On Dialogue: Gallows humor on the toilet. That’s some real bathroom humor!
