GITS Script Reading & Analysis: “Cloverfield” — Dialogue

We wrap up our week long analysis of the script Cloverfield by considering its use of dialogue. There are the standard set of questions:

* What do you consider to be the most memorable lines, either good or… not so good? Why did they work — or not — for you?

* Any notable callbacks (a line used once, then used again later in a different context)?

* How about set-up & payoffs?

* Any exposition that caught your eye for being handled exceptionally well?

See you in comments for a discussion about dialogue in Cloverfield.
