It isn't mine to give. As humanodon points out, Diderot beat everyone to the punch. I learned it from Terry Rossio, who said that movie dialog shouldn't sound like real life, it should sound like real life if you actually said all those clever things you wished you'd said when you're standing in the shower two hours later.
