“Nineteen.”
“Do you go to school?” said Marlowe
“Not anymore.”
“What do you study?”
“Waiting tables at a bar.”

“How about what happened to you that night?”
“It was magic.”
“And you said you don’t want to be here today?”
“Yes.”
“Would you like something to eat?”
“Yes, I do want a cookie with milk. I would also like a
sandwich.”

“Pink. I was into pink that year.”
“I love you,” breathed Phoenix

Can you even get the dialogue going? Skip the filler and
reach for the meat. Skip the boring, pointless talk. Opt
for body lotion.
