the filmmaker in me is itching to come out!

“People don’t always express their inner thoughts to one another," said Hitchcock, "a conversation may be quite trivial, but often the eyes will reveal what a person thinks or needs.”  The focus of the scene should never be on what the characters are actually saying.  Have something else going on.  Resort to dialogue only when it’s impossible to do otherwise. [something to mull on before heading to bed, the filmmaker in me is wide awake but my body and mind are like shutup and go to sleep!]
