As you can see, there are quite a number of hits under the keyword
"threat". The search results box shows all the different
variations of dialogue samples that have threat in them. Notice that the
quote does not actually contain the word "threat", but it is a very
threatening scene. This is why having keywords attached to each sample in
our database is so important. Each scene has a "setup",
describing the situation (if necessary) and most of the dialogue samples have
detailed notes explaining why the dialogue works and what specific techniques
have been used by the writer. You will notice that each specific
technique is capitalized in the "Notes" section. This
means that there is a detailed explanation of that technique which can be
accessed by pressing the "Techniques" button. Another feature is the "Keyword
List" button. When you press that button it will take you to the
