Sample dialogue
Look, Rex -- I want you to get on the horn and talk this guy down! You're going to have to let him get the feel of this airplane on the way; you'll have to talk him onto the approach; and so help me, you'll have to talk him right down to the ground!

scene 125 — INT. CHICAGO DISPATCH - NIGHTI want the best available man on this. A man who knows this plane inside and out and won't crack under pressure.
scene 125 — INT. CHICAGO DISPATCH - NIGHTYa know, this would be a tough landing for anyone to make. Maybe, if we hold them off for a bit we'll get a break in the weather.
scene 213 — INT. DISPATCH - NIGHTI want the kids in bed by nine. I want the dog fed, the yard watered, and the gate locked. And get a note to the milkman -- no more cheese!
scene 147 — INT. CHICAGO DISPATCH - NIGHT
