Talk:Slow Dance/@comment-190.112.38.74-20171208200821

Great, great episode...so well written. Far ahead of any guionist of nowadays, thanks for the wiki, and the final dialog:

Joel: I do not believe in voodoo!.

Maggie: Fleischman, sit down.

Joel: Come on. Let's dance.

Maggie: I don't wanna dance.

Joel: This is a great song.

Maggie: I don't care.

Joel: If you don't dance with me, O'Connell, you know what you're doing?. You're turning your back on reason-on mankind's struggle...to pull itself out of the mire of ignorance and superstition. You are saying "yes" to witch hunters and inquisitors, you are slamming the door on enlightenment, and you-you are-you are inviting back the Dark Ages. Now, I am not doing this for you, O'Connell. I am doing this... for civilization. What do you say?, Pretty please?.

Priceless talk, it has intelectual component, racional argument, it has a human element ("What do you say?, Pretty please?"), a truly friendship atitude, and there is also the subtext that in the bottom, they love eachother, and all this without falling in cliches. Beautiful masterpiece.
