Daily Dialogue — March 28, 2019

Axel Foley: What? Y’all the second team?
Detective McCabe: We’re the first team.
Detective Foster: Yeah, and we’re not gonna fall for a banana in the tailpipe.
Axel Foley: [mocking him] You’re not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe? It should be more natural, brother. It should flow out, like this — “Look, man, I ain’t fallin’ for no banana in my tailpipe!” See, that’s more natural for us. You been hanging out with this dude too long.

— Beverly Hills Cop (1984), screenplay by Daniel Petrie Jr., story by Danilo Bach and Daniel Petrie Jr.

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Police.

Trivia: The shooting script was literally pasted together from the many scripts written for the project over the years. When they were stuck, Eddie Murphy would improvise dialog or create a scene.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Eddie Murphy was in two classic 80s cop movies: 48 Hrs. and Beverly Hills Cop. This movie is about as 80s as it gets.
