Movie Dialogue Sample
425
00:33:34,906 --> 00:33:37,030
New fella.
426
00:33:37,156 --> 00:33:39,072
There you go.
427
00:33:39,198 --> 00:33:41,905
It's wrecks like that
that sells papers.
428
00:33:42,031 --> 00:33:43,988
Oh, Jack knows his readers.
429
00:33:44,114 --> 00:33:46,947
Now, mind you, there's more
people down under these waters
430
00:33:47,073 --> 00:33:49,696
than are killed on the roads.
431
00:33:49,822 --> 00:33:52,780
You'll want to get yourself
a nice little boat before long.
432
00:33:52,906 --> 00:33:54,863
Something that fits the water.
433
00:33:54,989 --> 00:33:57,364
I just don't want
to think about a boat right...
434
00:33:57,489 --> 00:33:58,613
Wh-Who's that?
435
00:34:01,489 --> 00:34:04,863
- Why?
- Oh, I was just curious.
436
00:34:04,989 --> 00:34:08,280
I've seen her around.
She's very tall.
437
00:34:08,405 --> 00:34:10,613
I... I mean
she... she's got good posture.
438
00:34:10,739 --> 00:34:13,238
She seems very...
439
00:34:13,365 --> 00:34:15,905
Her stride is different.
440
00:34:19,365 --> 00:34:22,780
It was grief that caused her boy
to be not right.
441
00:34:22,906 --> 00:34:26,030
She was carrying him when
her husband was drowned at sea.
442
00:34:26,156 --> 00:34:29,821
Like I was saying,
there's more life lost that way.
443
00:34:37,822 --> 00:34:40,613
How's your car wreck coming,
Quoyle?
444
00:34:44,948 --> 00:34:46,905
If I wanted War and Peace,
445
00:34:47,031 --> 00:34:50,488
I would have hired
William bloody Shakespeare.
446
00:35:11,697 --> 00:35:15,863
"The policeman ate breakfast
at the Codcake Diner
447
00:35:15,989 --> 00:35:19,197
before he arrived
at the accident scene"?
448
00:35:26,948 --> 00:35:28,905
Yes?
449
00:35:29,031 --> 00:35:31,072
Your spelling is fine,
450
00:35:31,198 --> 00:35:33,238
and I've seen
plenty worse grammar.
451
00:35:33,364 --> 00:35:36,072
But-But finding
the centre of your story...
452
00:35:36,198 --> 00:35:38,404
the beating heart of it...
that's what makes a reporter.
453
00:35:38,530 --> 00:35:41,072
Now, you'll have to start
by making up some headlines.
454
00:35:41,198 --> 00:35:44,988
You know? Short, punchy,
dramatic headlines.
455
00:35:45,114 --> 00:35:48,446
Now, have a look. What do you see?
Tell me the headline.
456
00:35:52,031 --> 00:35:54,404
Horizon Fills with Dark Clouds.
457
00:35:54,530 --> 00:35:56,738
Imminent Storm Threatens Village.
458
00:35:59,781 --> 00:36:01,780
But what if no storm comes?
459
00:36:01,906 --> 00:36:05,030
Village Spared from Deadly Storm.
460
00:36:17,697 --> 00:36:20,072
- How was your first day?
- What's all this?
461
00:36:22,489 --> 00:36:24,404
Nephew, we can't fix up
the house proper
462
00:36:24,530 --> 00:36:27,155
on a journalist's wages,
so I've un-retired.
463
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,404
- From what?
- Boat upholstery.
464
00:36:29,530 --> 00:36:31,988
All us Quoyles have
a feeling for boats.
465
00:36:32,114 --> 00:36:34,030
Who-Who's this?
466
00:36:34,156 --> 00:36:36,446
That's Dennis Buggit,
master carpenter.
467
00:36:36,572 --> 00:36:39,030
Ah, only till I gets
me lobster licence.
468
00:36:39,156 --> 00:36:41,197
I'm a fisherman in me soul.
469
00:36:41,322 --> 00:36:44,905
Buggit, huh?
You wouldn't be related
470
00:36:45,031 --> 00:36:47,613
to my boss
down at the Gammy Bird?
471
00:36:47,739 --> 00:36:50,237
Mm-hmm. Yeah. My dad.
472
00:36:50,364 --> 00:36:53,821
Tomorrow I'll run two-by-fours
under your second storey.
473
00:36:53,948 --> 00:36:56,947
Oh, and, uh, I was you,
474
00:36:57,073 --> 00:36:59,655
I wouldn't sleep in
your upstairs tonight
475
00:36:59,781 --> 00:37:02,072
unless you want to wake up
downstairs with a thud.
476
00:37:02,198 --> 00:37:03,905
Yeah.
477
00:37:04,031 --> 00:37:06,072
Yes, boy.
478
00:37:38,031 --> 00:37:40,030
What? What?
What is it? What is it?
479
00:37:40,156 --> 00:37:43,237
A ghost. The window.
480
00:37:43,364 --> 00:37:46,947
A skinny ghost, and a white dog.
481
00:37:47,073 --> 00:37:50,363
I-I didn't dream it.
Don't say I did.
482
00:37:50,489 --> 00:37:52,613
- I won't, I won't, sweetheart, okay.
- There's a ghost there.
483
00:37:52,739 --> 00:37:56,488
Okay, okay, shh, okay.
Okay, shh.
484
00:37:56,614 --> 00:37:58,696
Okay.
485
00:37:58,822 --> 00:38:00,988
Okay. Shh.
486
00:38:07,031 --> 00:38:08,613
Oh, excuse me?
487
00:38:08,739 --> 00:38:11,738
- This is our first day at school.
- I don't like these kids.
488
00:38:11,864 --> 00:38:14,404
- Bunny. Um, she's in the after-school...
- They're boring!
489
00:38:14,530 --> 00:38:16,404
Boring, boring, boring!
490
00:38:16,530 --> 00:38:18,446
Bunny, that's enough.
491
00:38:18,572 --> 00:38:21,821
I'm sorry.
She's-She's not usually like this.
492
00:38:21,948 --> 00:38:24,072
Not usually like what?
493
00:38:24,197 --> 00:38:2
