Remember, the key rule for any dialogue is Short and Sweet. This isn't a

don't do it, and neither do any published writers.

Yeah.  Shakespeare sucks.  Eh-heh-heh-heh...

Short & Sweet huh? I thought that was artificial sweetener!
That would mean 3 things.

1. No villain's monologue in which he/she reveals his/her true intentions
2. No words of advice from elder to hero.
3. Kuno would either be very out of character or he wouldn't get a word in edgewise.
