Defining Dialogue:

  • "Weeping blood comes merely from a derangement of the tear duct, my dear General. Nothing sinister. "
  • "You changed your shirt Mr. Bond, I hope our little game is not causing you to perspire."
  • "You know, I never understood all these elaborate tortures. It's the simplest thing... to cause more pain than a man can possibly endure.... And of course, it's not only the immediate agony, but the knowledge... that if you do not yield soon enough... there will be little left to identify you as a man. The only question remains: will you yield, in time?"
