520    "The long-awaited follow-up to the perennially bestselling
       writers' guide Story, from the most sought-after expert in
       the art of storytelling. Robert McKee's popular writing 
       workshops have earned him an international reputation. The
       list of alumni with Oscars runs off the page. The 
       cornerstone of his program is his singular book, Story, 
       which has defined how we talk about the art of story 
       creation. Now, in Dialogue, McKee offers the same in-depth
       analysis for how characters speak on the screen, on the 
       stage, and on the page in believable and engaging ways. 
       From Macbeth to Breaking Bad, McKee deconstructs key 
       scenes to illustrate the strategies and techniques of 
       dialogue. Dialogue applies a framework of incisive 
       thinking to instruct the prospective writer on how to 
       craft artful, impactful speech. Famous McKee alumni 
       include Peter Jackson, Jane Campion, Geoffrey Rush, Paul 
       Haggis, the writing team for Pixar, and many others,"--
