Daily Dialogue — October 2, 2017

“Well, you’ve taken good care of your body. Such a waste.”

— Casino Royale (2006), screenplay by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Paul Haggis, novel by Ian Fleming

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Interrogation.

Trivia: Ian Fleming once said on writing the “Casino Royale” novel: “Writing about 2,000 words in three hours every morning, ‘Casino Royale’ dutifully produced itself. I wrote nothing and made no corrections until the book was finished. If I had looked back at what I had written the day before, I might have despaired.”

Dialogue On Dialogue: One way to intensify the effect of torture is to create fear within the victim. Le Chiffre’s opening line in the scene does just that.
