Daily Dialogue — September 8, 2019

Brodie: After all he’s done to you, you should still kinda stick it to him.
T.S. Quint: How do you propose I do that?
Brodie: You stink palm him.
T.S. Quint: Stink palm?
Brodie: You take your hand and stick it in your ass like this. You been walkin’ all day and you’re nervous, so no doubt you’ll be sweaty as hell.
T.S. Quint: You should see yourself right now, a grown man with his hand down his pants.
Brodie: Yeah, I probably look like my old man. So you shake hands with the guy, “Hello Mr. Svenning how have you been?”
T.S. Quint: Whats the point?
Brodie: You know how long it takes for that smell to come off? Scrub all you want, it’ll stick around for at least two days. How does he explain it to his colleagues and family? They’ll think he doesn’t know how to wipe his ass properly.
T.S. Quint: Meanwhile, you yourself are left with a hand that smells like shit.
Brodie: Small price to pay for the smiting of one’s enemies.

— Mallrats (1995), written by Kevin Smith

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Shopping Mall. Today’s suggestion by griffin_jon, @zackgutin.

Trivia: Brodie is named after the main character in Jaws (1975) (a favorite film of Smith’s, and one that he frequently references in his work), while his surname, Bruce, was the nickname given to the animatronic shark in the Jaws film franchise.
