Raiding the Dialogue Notebook
|
After years of writing down notes on various conversations overheard (for reference for writing dialogue), you’ll get some stuff that just gives you a good chuckle when you read over it again. Well, I recently went through some of my old dialogue notes for fun, and here’s a quick highlight reel… • “Quit trying to light my panties on fire.” • “Yeah right, and I bet Bill Gates is a raging ball of testosterone, too.” • “There’s a nipple print in my danish.” • “What are you worried about? It’s not like a gun’ll kill you or anything.” • “It’s not so much the drunk talkin’ as it is the ‘I don’t f***ing care’ speakin’ up.” • “We can’t use this pool table. It’s tainted.” • “Dude, you stink of rejection.” • “What’s my plan for the night? Drinking til my liver chokes and waking up tomorrow in a bed next to something not plant, animal, or male.” |
