A short Dialog, first post, be brutal. please.

hey I stumbled on you guy's by accident and I really like what I see already. I'm baiscly your run of the mill aspiring writer, sixteen years of age and with large hopes of something that will have to do with writing in the future ahead. but I digrese. be brutal, please. (this is my first attemnt at a dialog.)

Lazy Fuck – A short dialog by Joe Parker

A. Kill the poor.

B. Kill who?

A. The fucking poor man.

B. Well, then kill me.

A. Are you poor?

B. Close enough.

A. What does that mean?

B. I’m lazy

*BLAM*

B. I’m not dead.

A. Eh, I was too tired to aim

B. Shit man! That means you’re lazy too!

A. No, no, no! I have a job, a wife and kids! I’m a part of society. You're just a lazy fuck!

B. All that may be true buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut lets say the ultimate evil come waltzing by
A. Osama Bin Laden?
B. I was thinking more on the lines of… The Devil! And lets say the ultimate good came up to you and—
A. George Bush?
B. No, Jesus, anyways if he came up to you and told you to shoot The Devil, would you be lazy with your aim then as well?
A. Well if you put it that way, no thank you ma’am.
B. Well this is the same.
A. Now pray tell me my good lazy sir, what does Osama bin laden and Jesus have to do with me having the basic, human and biblical if I may add need to mercy this poor lazy vessel of laziness?
B. Well I’m not poor but I’m lazy, and The Devil isn’t poor either but he’s evil and George Bushes economic plan isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be and… I’m losing my train of thought here.
A. Well my friend here I have you bested, I am never late to my trains, no siree bob, not here.
B. Oh god why don’t you just shoot me now?
A. If you truly were lazy you would have stopped talking to me a long time ago. I think you’re a liar.
B. That’s better than being lazy. Why do you want to kill the poor my good chum?
A. Simply put my good pal, they are a burden and you me and all those small children in Malaysia with their busy little hands making Nike shoes for you me and the rest of the world. In other words, they don’t pay taxes.
B. But here you got it wrong ol’pal. Poor people DO pay taxes in fact they pay so many taxes they're poor and thus making the rich richer and the poor smellier.
A. Really? This goes against everything I’ve been doing with my life for the past thirteen years…. God… all those poor bums I put out of their misery.
B. Oh well.
A. So if the poor don’t pay taxes who doesn’t pay them?
B. hmmmm…. Big breathe the politctinstherichtheprivteteachersbarownersgunrang eownerswillsmithlittlechildrenforighenworkersblack peoplechinesepeoplegeorgebushseniorgeorgebushjoine rosmabinladenjesusthedevil and unemployed people.
A. Well you gotta start a killing spree somewhere.
B. So the unemployed it is ol’ chum ol’ pal ol’ friend!
they Walk off hand in hand with shotguns firing in the background.

I don't think the conversation's realistic enough. It's not making me believe in the characters...and also a bit forced.

What you could do is for something like this: "B. All that may be true buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut lets say the ultimate evil come waltzing by"
is delete all the u's, I get what you're trying to make it sound like, so you could change it to something like "All that may be true, but, let's say the ultimate evil come waltzing by" Which reminds me, please use correct grammar and spelling, it makes it frustrating sometimes if you don't. So yeah, people just don't say stuff like that and you should try to make it more realistic.

I like the plot line so far though, and the conversation would be entertaining if you could edit it a bit...

To blackswan,
yes I really know I need to work on my grammer.
and I just want to point out the characters weren't sposta be very real. it is a satire after all.

and to Northerain I'm not really planning on working on the dialog any further but if you want to make something out of it... by all means man! I truely believe that art should always be Open Source. just email me with the final prodect please.

thanks
