As a general rule, I tend to use dashes where the character is dramatically interrupted where as ellipses are used when it's a subtler interruption. I.E. > Tony:"But at least Thanos doesn't know where the final-" > > Steve: "OH CRAP!" vs. > Tony:"But at least Thanos doesn't know where the final..." > > Steve: "Oh Crap." In the former, Steve has an immediate and very sudden realization that something has gone terribly wrong. In the later, it's a softer realization.
