This is my first time writing a novel. In my novel, there is a part of the married life of my protagonist who is a woman. I don't have any experience of married life so I have taken inspiration from a movie. There is **pages and pages** of dialogue between the two for an e.g. this one...

> What time is it?” I asked.
> 
> “Half past Ten”
> 
> “I am glad we went to see the movie”
> 
> “Yeah, after a long time, something realistically sensible”
> 
> “Aakash, do you believe two people can spend a lifetime together?”
> 
> “It’s a ridiculous convention passed down from god knows where.”
> 
> “A five-year contract would be ideal. Or an agreement subject to renewal.”
> 
> “Would that be applied to us too?
> 
> “No”
> 
> “Why not?”
> 
> “We are the exception that proves the rule.”
> 
> “So you think we will stay together?”
> 
> “That sounds like a strange question”
> 
> “Doesn’t it bother you to never get to sleep with anyone else?”
> 
> “No. Does it bother you?”
> 
> “Sometimes, yeah”
> 
> “I’ll be damned”
> 
> “On a purely speculative basis”
> 
> “I wonder whether something's wrong with me”
> 
> “I don’t have fantasies like that. I am content”
> 
> “Well so am I”
> 
> “Oh Now I get”
> 
> “I know why Zhenya and Boris in the movie go through hell”
> 
> “They do not speak the same language, I mean in terms of expressing themselves like expressing their thoughts and feelings, I think he did not ever understand what she meant when she said what she said, that really is a couple of story moving for separation. They should translate everything into a common language.”
> 
> “Ahhh I think its simpler than that”
> 
> “You and I we understand each other, we speak the same language, that’s what makes us click”

How should I convert it into a paragraph? Is there any trick?
