Screenwriting : How can you add quotes in your screenplays? by Victor Titimas

Appreciating your effort Victor for bringing this issue to us. Lets just consider the reality, we often use quotes of others, for various purposes, like encouragement, warning, taunting, etc. As I think that screenplay is a simulation of facts, but that definitely linked with reality. Every writer create situation with real life imagination. Which reflects in screenplays too. Just presentation according to the situation is what we can do. What's your say?

Thank you for your reply!:) I think you are right with everything you said and indeed quotes are used to convey certain messages...I don't think I'd use quotes in my screenplays(but this doesn't mean I won't, ever), because when using one, it is a great responsibility! It is hard and, if you use a wrong quote, or your work doesn't live up to it, it can be a disaster...I was just curious how the screenwriters of those movies I saw inserted these quotes into their works!:) What is the technical procedure to insert a quote in a script?

Thanks for this info Dan....Victor you r right, but sometimes something isn't just complete without a quote

Victor, if I'm reading this correctly you are not asking about quotation marks but about using a famous (or just important to you) quote at the beginning of a script. Am I correct? So "How can you write this in your screenplay?" has not yet been addressed. If a writer felt that the screenplay isn't complete without a quote, that writer could put it on its own page (after the title page) or on the top of page one.

As Laura said, use SUPERIMPOSE or SUPER for short.
