Some people think dialogue-heavy movies are ones where “nothing happens” or “boring” or “blah-blah cry-baby bullshit,” but dialogue can be a crucial force for moving the story forward, Kevin.

Not delivering some Shakespearean soliloquy, just reaching their absolute breaking point and letting everyone know that they’ve had it with these proverbial snakes on this proverbial plane.
