Stuck between two lines of dialogue to choose

[AmateurScorcese]

Two guys are standing at the urinals. They talk.

One looks at the other and says "What do you think?" (this is about a person they think is a cop)

The other staring straight ahead says "i think if you dont take your eyes of my cock ul loose one of em"

OR after the guy says "What do you think?"

he can look into the other guys urinal and say "I think i win"

When it comes to something like a single line of dialog, I say just film it once with one line, and again with the other line (make sure you get good performances out of both). Then in post, just look over the footage and see which one you like more.

[lewis hull]

just say whatever feels natural, or ask your actors what feels funny or serious depending on what you want from the scene.

I don't understand the "I win" line, can you explain why he would say it? Is it purely on genital size? or is it also from someting else early in the script?

Tells us more about your characters. It'll be easier to judge that way.

[jowo96]

If you were to use the first one I would assume your character is up tight, slightly psychotic and perhaps a little insecure... the sort of guy you assume didn't have a childhood

the second choice would suggest to me that your character is more confident, a little cheeky and light hearted... a little childish perhaps

one line?

shoot it both ways. decide later.

I think the second line is hilarious (though I took it as suggesting he had more urine volume than the other guy). These lines are very different in tone, however, so I'd go with jowo's post and consider how the person is characterised.

[greyroompictures]

Difficult to say without more context.

Line two is quick and clean...
Line one caught me out at first - On first reading, it sounded like the first guy has two penises... but that could just be my slow brain ticking under the normal amount of revs!
