Dialogue Writing with Duncan Sarkies

In Class today we had Duncan Sarkies Teach us how to write dialogue. He told us to write what we would hear in a phone cal. No Descriptions of the environment. Just raw Dialogue. Here is what I came up with in that Class

Janet - Calling a store to find out if they can buy something online that they can’t find online

Philip - The poor employee that has to explain that they do not have that Item at all, and is also located in a different store.


Call Starts


“Hello this is AllroundGoods, Philip Speaking”


“Hi, I’ve been wanting to order a Kayak at your online page but I can’t find it?”


“A Kayak?”


‘Yes”


“I’m sorry, we don’t sell Kayaks in store”


“Last month I went to your store and I saw you were selling Kayaks.”


“I think you might be thinking of SecureSporting next door.”


“I have your Number right here”


“No this is AllroundGoods, I can suggest you to call SecureSporting. Their phone number is ** *** ****”


“I wish to buy a Kayak from you”


“... I’m sorry mam, This is AllroundGoods. We do not sell Kayaks at this store. SecureSporting is next door.”


“You have a sports section on your page. I know you sell Kayaks, I’ve seen them at your store.”


“We do have a sport section, but we only sell exercise and sports equipment. Not Kayaks. They have never been at our store.”


“I went to your store the other day and I saw a Kayak”


“I think you are thinking of SecureSporting, it is next door to us, would you like me to repeat the phone number to you?”


“SectorSports?”


“SecureSporting”


“SexSpot?”


“No…. SecureSporting.”


“Your very rude”


“.... Excuse me?”


“I want to buy a Kayak from your store and you won’t let me buy it!”


“No mam, I've been trying to tell you you have the wrong store.”


“No I’m correct, you DO sell kayaks, I’ve seen them at your store. I don’t know what I’ve done to you BUT YOU’RE A PIECE OF SHIT!”


“...”


“FUCK YOU, I’LL BUY FROM ANOTHER STORE”
