“18th Century Cameroon, yes? Your taste is in your ass.”

— To Live and Die in L.A. (1985), screenplay by William Friedkin & Gerald Petievich, novel by Petievich

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Killing. Today’s suggestion by Fred Haas.

Trivia: William Friedkin kept only 20% of the elements of the original book for the screenplay adaptation.
