Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:10 Explanations: 2:39 Fast dialogue: 14:12 Maggie: What did you think of the book you started last week? Kurt: Oh, I liked it well enough. Maggie: Wow, that’s a glowing recommendation. Kurt: Well, it started off with a bang and the suspense in the first half was great. I couldn’t put it down. Then, the pace changed in the second half and it was an effort to finish it. Maggie: Really? I read it a few months ago and I loved it. I thought the characterization was really good. I could really relate to the two main characters. Kurt: Yeah, that’s true enough, but the plot dragged, don’t you think? The author just couldn’t pull it off and the ending was laughable. Maggie: I really liked the ending! I can’t wait for the sequel. Kurt: Well, that makes one of us. Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
