hard to say, if I’m honest. usually I just let the characters talk about random stuff they care about, like a small talk but “deep”, rather than a serious discussion about “a plot-relevant topic”, usually they are drunk or if they aren’t I might unconsciously write then as if they were drunk — I enjoy writing drinking / bar scenes with philosophical conversations
cheers, best of luck! I like Chekhov, Kharms, Beckett, McDonagh (screenplays and plays), Filippou (only seen screenplays so far but he has plays) for dialogue, all of which I reckon are one absurdist-adjacent lineage that started with/after Chekhov. Also these are other dialogue-heavy episodes from the book published so far https://blog.nova-nevedoma.com/p/applied-asymptotology-c6f and https://blog.nova-nevedoma.com/p/lingus-venus there are some other dialogue-heavy ones later in the book (I’ll publish it here too as time comes), probably more similar to the bus one (more deadpan comedy) compared to the ones above
