How Alfred Hitchcock can make you a better storyteller

"Some of the most interesting scenes in Hitchcock movies aren't the action sequences, but rather the dialogue between characters. The playful banter between Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint in North by Northwest, for example, is as intriguing, if not more so, than some of the action sequences. The conversations between Hitchcock characters can be long, but are never dull or boring. If you have a quote, an interview clip or an interesting exchange that makes your story compelling, include it to give the story more life and bring more intensity to the narrative."
