I'll admit I did find the first ten or fifteen minutes of Juno really annoying, only because of the forced, 'hip' dialogue that even people like the old dad or the store clerk spouted as if read from a cue card. This continued through the course of the movie but to a much lesser extent so that it didn't intrude on the overall quality of the film. Now, I won't say anything bad about Diablo Cody's screenwriting skills, as I am aspiring to dabble in a bit of that myself. What I will do however, is leave you with a few lines of dialogue taken from her sophomore effort, 'Jennifer and the Body'
To put it in context a little, it's basically about a girl that gets possessed by demonic forces and starts 'offing' all the jocks at her local high school. At least that's what I've heard, it's well wacky.
“Do you see anyone rollin’ on dubs around here?”
“Never Trevor. I’m hot like magma.”
“You’re totally jello! You’re lime green jello and you can’t even admit it.”
“You seem like you might be pluggin’.”
“Slow down tardy slip. You sound like a sped.”
“You said to leave. So I’m outtie-5000.”
“I’m a hard-assed, Ford-tough mama bear. It’s like, don’t y’all touch my daughter. I’ll piss on you like Calvin.”
“I’ll get him myself! I will! You hear me, you bastard? I’ll cut off your nutsack and nail it to my door! Like one of those lion doorknockers rich folks got! That’ll be your balls!”
“Fried bologna is the bomb!”
Ok, I'll admit, I'm very angry.
