I always find myself trying to make dialogues perfect. For example, the perfect advice, the perfect punch line, the perfect joke or irony. OR maybe if the characters talk continuously without stopping, without making coherent phrases or having breaks. I wonder if the reader feels that the story is kind of fake if every dialogue is really too perfect. **Example 1:** "So you are a kind of super hero? she asked. "Maybe." he said, after putting on his glassed, his leather jacket, and getting on his motorbike. **Example 2:** "So you are a kind of super hero? she asked. "I'm — not very sure," he said, "I'm not sure if I can save anyone." Any thoughts?
