Dialogue

BERT
Your dialogue is not very believable.

SARA
In my script?

BERT
When you speak.

SARA
It's not believable?

BERT
You are asking too many questions, which is not believable.

SARA
Why not?

BERT
See, I didn't believe a word of that.

SARA
You've been reading scripts for far too long.

BERT
You should be more natural.

SARA
Every word that comes out of my mouth you think is unnatural.

BERT
The way you said unnatural was actually very natural.

SARA
Since when were you an expert on how to speak?

BERT
Again, with the questions. Your dialogue is terrible and completely unrealistic.

SARA
How can the way I speak be realistic or unrealistic?

BERT
You are being confusing and nothing you're saying is helpful to the plot.

SARA
You are truly bizarre and I have to say; the only thing I know about the plot -- is that you've lost it.
