Daily Dialogue — November 22, 2017

Jeff Spicoli: Hey, you’re ripping my card.
Mr. Hand: Yes.
Jeff Spicoli: Hey bud, what’s your problem?
Mr. Hand: No problem at all. I think you know where the front office is.
Jeff Spicoli: [stunned] You dick!

— Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), screenplay by Cameron Crowe based on his book

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: School, suggested by Gisela Wehrl.

Trivia: Cameron Crowe wrote the screenplay based on his book. Cameron Crowe attended University of San Diego High School, he posed as a student at Clairemont High School. The principal then was not thrilled with the idea, but when he asked Crowe about musicians that he had met, he mentioned Kris Kristofferson. The principal was a big fan of Kristofferson and agreed to let Crowe on campus.

Dialogue On Dialogue: This is the beginning of the contentious subplot involving Mr. Hand and Jeff Spicoli, a classic Teacher vs. Student storyline, a funny contrast in personalities.
