Walt usually left out the dialogue until a sequence had been developed to the point where he could see just how little was really needed. If the idea could be put over with an expression, an action or a sound effect, or with music, he would not use dialogue. The storyman had to think in visual terms first, and when he did write dialogue it had to tell something about the character and not be exposition. Walt insisted that no one wants to see a character chewing away on a bunch of words when a provocative situation is developing. The audience wants to see what is going to happen, and the storyman only wants the dialogue that will fortify and sharpen his story and the personalities.
