GITS Script Reading and Analysis Series: “Drag Me To Hell” — Dialogue

We wrap up our week long analysis of the script Drag Me To Hell by considering its use of dialogue. 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?

You may access the 2007–09–26 draft of the script here.

See you in Comments to discuss the dialogue in Drag Me To Hell.
