..Sometimes I wish real-life dialogue was scripted by some talented TV writer..wouldn't it be great if instead of all these insipid conversations we had genuine witty dialogue ? If arguments were not turning rapidly in a flow of swearwords and name-calling, but instead were composed of erudite remarks, and, if it comes to that, cleverly worded insults ?
one of my favorite scripted dialogues is from Sports Night, by Aaron Sorkin. Full quote goes like this:
.-Casey McCall: Now, when I say "yesterday", I am not speaking metaphorically. I mean, it was yesterday. What happened to your values?
.-Dan Rydell: I find that maintaining them is a lot of work. I take a day off every now and then.
.-Casey McCall: You take a vacation from doing the right thing? ...
.-Dan Rydell: Yeah. I don't loot storefronts or anything, but once in a while, when I consider the effort it takes to diligently adhere to a moral compass, I take myself out of the lineup and I rest for the next game.
.-Casey McCall: I swear, you can run for congress and win.
