Dialogue examples
... I dreamed I was in jail. You'd come to see me, you were on the other side of the plastic -- like at the bank?. And you were talking, but I couldn't hear you. I put my ear to the holes and I couldn't hear you, but your mouth was moving. And then I realized you couldn't talk anymore. He'd cut your vocal cords, like that dog next door.
I look out at the flat blue sea, and the darker blue where the Gulf deepens and I want you next to me. I want to walk across the sugar sand and wade into the water with you until the current lifts us and floats us, nothing weighting us down -- as light and thoughtless as fish. Will I ever see you?... Love, Jason.
A seventeen-year-old kid waltzes in with a diamond as big as your toenail, and you don't wonder?? You shouldn't have touched it! You know that! All right, okay. When we recover the rest of the necklace, I'll be back. Do not, do not sell it. I'll see what I can do for you, Raines.
I thought it over. I can't move it. I'm on parole. I'm known. You're not. So you'll fly to Newark, take a shuttle into the city, catch a cab, take a walk, find an address, I'll give you the name -- pas de probleme, as they say in Bordeaux.
No, no, no, no -- this guy was not any kind of family man, if you know what I mean. So you're in some deep shit, because he wasn't a cop neither.
I worked my ass off for you with that store. Eight years of twelve-hour days and one-day weekends! So don't tell me I haven't treated you well.
... Hey, Ted -- it's Alex Gates. I need a couple of tickets to New York for tonight, first class. Don't sweat the account, I'll pay CASH --
We'll stay at the Ritz, we'll eat our way through every three-star restaurant in town -- a new dress every night -- would you like that?
