Daily Dialogue — May 1, 2019

Margaret: Oh, Oliver! You can’t open that!
Oliver: Why not? Napoleon just didn’t live long enough.
Margaret: But it could be vinegar. I mean old wine often turns to vinegar.
Oliver: Well then, we either have a wonderful glass of wine or a really expensive salad.

— Year of the Comet (1992), written by William Goldman

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Wine. Today’s suggestion by Leslie Davis (@FdavisFrank).

Trivia: William Goldman’s first original screenplay since Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969).

Dialogue On Dialogue: A nifty bit of business — opening a vintage bottle of wine — to use as a backdrop for a marriage proposal.
