Below are four alternate dialogues that I am confused between. I'd like to know which is the correctly punctuated one. Also please explain how to use ellipses in a dialogue which is interrupted by a dialogue tag. The tag has to come between the trailing off and on. _Now, I was a captor in Chirag’s realm, waiting for my execution._ _“Don’t worry, I’ll try to make it quick. But painless…?” Chirag said, “…no promises made.”_ OR _“Don’t worry, I’ll try to make it quick…but painless?” Chirag said, “…no promises made.”_ OR _“Don’t worry, I’ll try to make it quick. But painless…?” Chirag said. “No promises made.”_ OR _“Don’t worry, I’ll try to make it quick. But painless…?” Chirag said, “no promises made.”_
