Specifications

 * Speaker A - The name of the first speaker; if you would like to link this, put brackets around it.
 * Quote A - The text quoted by Speaker A; don't worry about putting quotation marks over it - that's done automatically.
 * Speaker B - The name of the second speaker (usually in response to Speaker A); if you would like to link this, put brackets around it.
 * Quote B - The text quoted by Speaker B; don't worry about putting quotation marks over it - that's done automatically.
 * Speaker C-Z - (same as above)
 * Quote C-Z - (same as above)
 * Description - Short description of what's being discussed in the quoted dialogue; please be as brief as you can on these - it's not very aesthetically pleasing if this is too long...
 * Source - What media the dialogue was quoted from (movie, short, TV episode, game, book, etc.); the template automatically turns it into an italicized link.
