I wrote this dialogue thingy for my screenwriting class. The assignment was to basically take two characters and create a conflict between them. Oh, and one of them had to use words that people from certain regions use. I chose New Yorker words like "weisenheimer" and "stoop". The internet said they were New Yorker words so if they're actually not blame the internet.
I wrote this with a sitcommie kinda attitude so that's why its not actually funny. If you think its funny then good for you!
Also, I'm pretty sure posting this in screenplay format here on my blog would be a gianomicus task so blah blah blah.

STEVE is arguing with BILL, who says he’s from Canada, out on the steps in front of his apartment. BILL is sitting in STEVE’s spot and refuses to move.
STEVE
You know what weisenheimer, I don’t care if you’re from Canada. I’m not letting you sit in my stop.
BILL
But I was here first!
STEVE
Its my stoop!
BILL
Yeah?
STEVE
Yeah!
BILL
I’ve always heard you New Yorkers were jerks.
STEVE
Well its true and we’re proud of it.
BILL
I’m sure you are buddy…
STEVE
Have you seen that South Park episode where Canada goes on strike?
BILL
Oh yeah. That was a great episode. Everybody in Canada loved it.
STEVE
So is it true?
BILL
Is what true?
STEVE
Does Canada really want more money?
BILL
Well yeah, doesn’t everybody?
STEVE
Some celebrities might not.
BILL
Maybe in the States but in Canada they can’t get enough.
STEVE
Why’s that?
BILL
It might have something to do with all the beer they drink.
STEVE
So you guys drink a lot of beer up there huh?
BILL
Not really. It’s mostly the celebrities that drink the beer.
STEVE
Hmm… so are you planning on getting off my stoop anytime soon?
BILL
Maybe.
STEVE
I don’t like maybe.
BILL
Well what do you like.
STEVE
I like you getting your ass off my stoop.
BILL
I’ll only get off your “stoop” if you give Canada more money.
STEVE
Your not really from Canada are you?
BILL
Nope.
STEVE
Get off my stoop!
