Daily Dialogue — October 14, 2019

“You think water moves fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder. After the avalanche, it took us a week to climb out. Now, I don’t know exactly when we turned on each other, but I know that seven of us survived the slide… and only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I’m breaking now. We said we’d say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn’t. Nature is lethal but it doesn’t hold a candle to man.”

— Deep Blue Sea (1999), written by Duncan Kennedy and Donna Powers & Wayne Powers

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Killing. Today’s suggestion by @BruceAlmighteee, @aldusvertten,@AyeQue,

Trivia: The February 11, 1998 draft of the script credits the following writers: Duncan Kennedy and John Zinman, Simon Barry, Michael Frost Beckner, C.M. Talkington, Donna Powers and Wayne Powers. Duncan Kennedy, Donna Powers and Wayne Powers are the only writers credited in the final film.

Dialogue On Dialogue: The writers had some fun with this killing. Russell Franklin’s death (Samuel L. Jackson) comes as a complete surprise due to the fact he just gave the big inspirational speech.
