Jumanji (1995) Writers: Screenplay: Jonathan Hensleigh, Greg Taylor, Jim Strain Screen Story: Greg Taylor, Jim Strain Chris Van Allsburg Book: Chris Van Allsburg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0TjT53qpFY VAN PELT: What's in your hand? Drop it! Alan drops the dice. One stops on the game board, the other falls through a crack in the floor. VAN PELT: End of the line, Sunny Jim. Game's up. Start running. ALAN: No. VAN PELT: Aren't you afraid? ALAN: I'm terrified. But my father told me you should always face what you're afraid of. VAN PELT: (Laughs) Good lad. You're finally acting like a man. Any last words? The tumbling die comes to a stop, causing Alan's playing piece to advance to the center of the game board, and Alan reads out the message. ALAN: Jumanji.

Independence Day (1996) Writer: Dean Devlin, Roland Emmerich https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeDhiMtUA2I HILLER: What the hell? LEVINSON: Don't touch it! Don't, don't, don't, don't! I was counting on this. They are bringing us in. HILLER: When the hell was you gonna tell me? LEVINSON: Oops. HILLER: We're gonna have to work on our communication. Dialogue on Dialogue: This is Levinson's payback. Earlier, when Hiller was learning to fly the alien spacecraft, he mis-read how the controls work, which terrified Levinson (who doesn't like flying). Hiller's mocking response: "Oops."

Mary Poppins (1964) Writers: Bill Walsh, Don DaGradi (screenplay) P.L. Travers (Books) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm0hSAgFhZo DAWES SR: Well, do you have anything to say, Banks? BANKS: Well sir, they do say that...when there's nothing to say, all you can say-- He pulls two coins from his pocket. DAWES SR: Confound it, Banks, I said, do you have anything to say? BANKS: (Laughs) Just one word, sir. DAWES SR: Yes? BANKS: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Dialogue on Dialogue: A most controversial word. Entire debates raged in the 1960s about whether "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" was the longest word in the English language, or whether it was even a word at all.

Pulp Fiction (1994) Writers: Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary (story) Quentin Tarantino (written by) Clip: https://youtu.be/x2WK_eWihdU Jules SNAPS, SAVAGELY TIPPING the card table over, removing the only barrier between himself and Brett. Brett now sits in a lone chair before Jules like a political prisoner in front of an interrogator. JULES: What country you from! BRETT: (petrified) What? JULES: "What" ain't no country I know! Do they speak English in "What?" BRETT: (near heart attack) What? JULES: English-motherfucker-can-you-speak- it? BRETT: Yes. JULES: Then you understand what I'm sayin'? BRETT: Yes. JULES: Now describe what Marsellus Wallace looks like! BRETT: (out of fear) What? Jules takes his .45 and PRESSES the barrel HARD in Brett's cheek. JULES: Say "What" again! C'mon, say "What" again! I dare ya, I double dare ya motherfucker, say "What" one more goddamn time! Dialog on dialog: Beautifully written lines. A wonderful play on words (or word for that matter). Tarantino has described his writing as poetry. This is certainly that. I love how he really takes his time with his scripts to hone them to perfection. This scene is one great example.

Movie - Braveheart Youtube - https://youtu.be/i6zGEBhJMHA Royal Magistrate: The prisoner wishes to say a word. William Wallace: [shouts loud and long] Freedom! Comment - Wallace never strays from his beliefs even until the very end. An all is lost moment that sets up the climax where Scotland wins its freedom.

ROCKY (1976) written by Sylvester Stallone Rocky: Adrian! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNJqZI3hOdg The ultimate underdog did what he wanted to do, and that was go the distance with the champ. After that, all that mattered was... Adrian.

Mr. McGuire: Are you listening? Benjamin: Yes, I am. Mr. McGuire: Plastics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSxihhBzCjk Tons of subtext in just one word. On the surface, Mr. McGuire is giving Benjamin some helpful career advice. Underneath, though, he unwittingly describes 1) the society in which he lives 2) what Benjamin fears he will metaphorically become

Good job, all! Some excellent suggestions! Look for them this week!

Is it too late for one more? One of the best 1-word lines I've heard is the following: THE NAKED GUN: FROM THE FILES OF THE POLICE SQUAD! (1988) Written by Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, Pat Proft [Det. Frank Drebin searches a drawer] Frank : Bingo! [Pulls out a Bingo card] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMRo5XCKddQ Comment: In a single word, and the subsequent visual punchline, the movie perfectly parodies countless police dramas, investigative procedures and catch phrases. Flawless.
