Daily Dialogue — January 19, 2019

“Jesus Christ, boy! What did you eat?”

— Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), written by Mike Myers

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Bathroom.

Trivia: Tom Arnold, who cameos as the cowboy in the toilet scene, had starred in True Lies (1994). In both films, Austin Powers and Harry Tasker (secret Agents) fight and kill henchmen in a public restroom, while one person is sitting on the toilet.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Chicken or egg question. Did Mike Myers come up with this bathroom scene as a result of trying to discover the identity of “Who is Number Two,” or did he hit on the scene, *then* reverse engineer the Number Two name angle?
