Dialogue… “What was that?”

Script-writing goes against your gut when it comes to dialogue. Think about it. Watch the conversations around you. How do you know a person is happy. Is it because they say "I'm happy"? Or is it because of their relaxed body position and their smile? How do we know people are tired? Yawning, droopy eyes, dropped attention rate, distracted, fatigue, etc. These are all things that are communicated through actions.
