Dialogue examples
I've been in the world nineteen hours. I've seen pancakes and stairs and a cat and windows and hundreds of cars and birds and police and doctors and Grandma and Grandpa, and persons with different faces and bigness and smells talking all at the same time. The world's like all TV planets on at the same time so I don't know which what to look and listen. Doors and doors and behind all the door there's another inside and another outside and things happen-happen-happening, it never stops. Plus the world's always changing brightness and hotness and there's invisible germs floating everywhere. When I was small I only knew small things but now I'm five I know everything.
I'm going to make your face so scorching hot that Old Nick will take you to the hospital in his truck, and the minute you get there you'll tell the doctors, 'Help! Police!
Honey, there's something else I have to tell you. After your father and I separated I got close to someone else. Actually someone you know.
He thinks most of the press will move on in a couple days. I made it clear there'd be no more contact, statements. To respect the family.
You have your schedule of appointments, and your medications. Please completely finish the course of antibiotics.
I do. Named Seamus. He's very small. Not very smart. You'll have to meet him sometime. He'll shake your hand.
You think this will work? Can my strong be her strong too? I'm not really sure if it works that way.
The hospital said to avoid pets, until your immunity is back up ... and there's so much to take in.
