Jonah: What happened to the money Dad gave you?
Ronnie: If you tell him I kill you, OK? I was on my way to buy the dress and… I
gave the money away. Jonah: What?
Ronnie: Ssstttt Don‟t worry about it.
Jonah: Wow, you may be older, but I am so much smarter than you.
He walks to take his piggy bank and shows his money to Ronnie.
Ronnie: Where did you get all that? Jonah:
Where to begin… This is for when I tol
d Dad I didn’t see you at the festival. This is what I won
playing liar poker… Remember when you snuck in past curfew in
New York? That’s for that. This is for the guy with the tattoo=…
Ronnie: =Ok, th
at’s enough. I get it. I can’t take your life savings.
Jonah: Knowing you, there‟s a lot more
where that came from. And besides, I like Will. I don‟t want him
breaking up with you „cause you look crappy at the wedding
Ronnie: Thank you. √
√ P : Jonah and
Ronnie S :
in Steve‟s house
T:
Jonah‟s saving
Ir : intrusive interruption
Knowing that Jonah gets the whole
money from her, Ronnie stops
Jonah‟s utterance by saying
“=Ok, that‟s enough. I get it. I
can‟t take your life savings.
”At this point, Ronnie surely
has already known what is going to say
by Jonah. That is why she cuts his
utterance. She does not want to hear his
further explanation. Thus, this
interruption is categorized as
intrusive and the purpose for doing it
is for tangentialization.

Ronnie‟s choice in
fitting a dress Ir : intrusive
interruption When Ronnie takes
a strange dress to try on. Jonah is
shocked and immediately says
“I don‟t think he‟ll like
it ”, but before he
can finish his utterance, Ronnie
says “I like it”. At
this point, Ronnie cuts Jonah‟s
utterance to show her disagreement on
Jonah‟s opinion. Ronnie does not
care whether her boyfriend will like
the dress or not. She ignores her
brother‟s opinion about the dress.

Blaze: Get away from me, Marcus I
mean it
Marcus:What? You think you can just leave?
Blaze: Yes, Marcus We’re done
Marcus: Look, I got your note. I didn‟t like
it. We‟re done when I say we‟re done.
√ √
P : Blaze and Marcus
S :
in Will‟s sister‟s
wedding T: Marcus
objection to Blaze;s
decision to leave him
Ir : recognitional
overlap Marcus does not
agree with Blaze ‟s
decision to end their relationship. Marcus
says “What? You
think you can just leave” while Blaze
who is busy working hurriedly
answers “Yes,
Marcus We‟re done” She replies
in hurry because she needs to get back to
work. At this point, she has already
known when Marcus will finish
his utterance. However, she does
not give any attention to it. She
speaks at the very
end of Marcus‟ utterance. Thus, she
creates an overlap and the purpose is
clearly to show her urgency.
