Dialogue the first 100 pages

In non-fiction books, there is usually a lot of dialogue. Dialogue is just a conversation between two people. We use dialogue everyday, and it is probably the most common language device. Dialogue is usually put in quotation marks to indicate what someone has said. On the sixth page, Phil Jackson, the coach of the Lakers was having a conversation with Jerry Buss, the owner. "I'd like to win two more championships" said Jerry. "Gee, I don't know Jerry", said Phil, who was skeptical about whether the Lakers could win two more championships, which would tie the Celtics for most championships. Another example of dialogue is found on page 9, between Phil Jackson and Gary Payton. "Do you feel you've still got that defensive killer instinct?", Phil asked Gary. Gary replied "Yeah I'm still there".
