Interviewer: Welcome to The Interview Example. Today I'll be interviewing an important man about [?]
something vague, to help you understand further how to work with dialog.
Remember, if I have a lot to say, you'll need to break my speech up into more than one paragraph. Keep
paragraphs short, no more than 400 characters. Just insert a couple of hard returns to create a blank line, and
you're good to go. Don't re-label me on each new paragraph.
Do start a new paragraph when I change topics, and again if I shift my focus to start speaking to someone
different.
Thanks for coming in today, Professor Dave.
Professor Dave: I'm happy to be here.
Jenny: I feel like Alice, except I never saw the looking glass. Where’s the bottle that says, "Drink Me"?
Interviewer: Sorry for the interruption, Dave. Jenny and John, it’s our turn in the studio.
All right. Would you like to tell me about your journey to discovering the square root of -2?
Professor Dave: [laughs] I’m sorry, what?
Interviewer: Oops. [laughs] Oh, wait, these aren’t the questions I had prepared for you.
Professor Dave: I hope not. All I remember from college math is my professor saying, "The area of a
trapezoid is A = (B + b)h/2," or something like that. Never could figure out why he had to have both B and b
-- there’s a reason I’m a humanities professor.
Interviewer: Well then, you’ve got me beat, Professor Dave.
Professor Dave: Oh, I think that equation might be the only thing I remember. That, and maybe the particular
way that the light used to hit Jenny [sp] Ames’ long, blonde hair.
Do you have memories like that from high school? Sure hope I’m not going all TMI on you. But in lieu of...
[glass breaking]
Professor Dave: Yikes, I think we’ve got trouble. Is that a Molotov cocktail?
Interviewer: Uh-huh. Run!
