Daily Dialogue — September 13, 2019

“And there goes the Challenger, being chased by the blue, blue meanies on wheels. The vicious traffic squad cars are after our lone driver, the last American hero, the electric centaur, the, the demi-god, the super driver of the golden west! Two nasty Nazi cars are close behind the beautiful lone driver. The police numbers are gettin’ closer, closer, closer to our soul hero, in his soul mobile, yeah baby! They about to strike. They gonna get him. Smash him. Rape… the last beautiful free soul on this planet.”

— Vanishing Point (1971), screenplay by Guillermo Cabrera Infante, froma story outline by Malcolm Hart

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Radio. Today’s suggestion by @superfilm77.

Trivia: The Guns N’ Roses song “Breakdown,” from their 1991 album “Use Your Illusions II,” includes Axl Rose quoting the “There goes the challenger” and “But it is written” monologues.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Super Soul, played by Cleavon Little, gives Kowalski (the driver) secret messages over the radio.
