Daily Dialogue — October 12, 2019

Rob: How many strokes?
Mike: I don’t know. Eight or Nine.
Rob: I’ll give you an eight.
Mike: What’d you get?
Rob: An eight.
Mike: Looks like we’re in a dead heat after one hole. This is turning into quite a rivalry.
Rob: You better replace the pin, Chi-Chi. The natives look restless.

— Swingers (1996), written by Jon Favreau

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Golf.

Trivia: Jon Favreau wrote the screenplay in two weeks, with various friends in mind for key roles.

Dialogue On Dialogue: This is a classic example of using golf as a B.O.B: Bit Of Business, a backdrop for the two guys to talk about what they really need to discuss: parents and an ex-girlfriend.
