I'm not sure how to quote a dialogue from a play in my essay.

And if it includes a line such as:

WALTER(With immense passion) Because it is life, Mama!

Do include the part in parethesis?

Put it in quotation marks and put a colon after Walter:, then keep the parentheses.

Be sure to cite the quote.

What if i have to quote 4 different lines in a dialogue between two people?

They come to realize that money is the most important part of their everyday lives, as well as their pursuit of their dream.

MAMA. Son-how come you talk so much ‘bout money?
WALTER. (With immense passion) Because it is life, Mama!
MAMA. (Quietly) Oh—(Very Quietly) So now it’s life. Money is life. Once upon a time freedom used to be life—now it’s money. I geuss the world really do change…

This exemplifies...

is this correct?

Indent about 10 and then cite the quotes at the end.

Put the entire 4 speeches into quotation marks...

Thanks so much!

To properly quote a dialogue from a play in your essay, you should follow specific formatting guidelines, which may vary depending on the citation style you are using (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago). Here's a general guideline:

1. Begin the quote with the character's name in all capital letters, followed by a period.
2. If the character's line includes extra information such as an emotion or stage direction, you can include it within parentheses after the character's name, separated by a comma.
3. Use quotation marks around the spoken words.
4. If the quote is longer than four lines, you should format it as a block quote by indenting it and omitting quotation marks.

Applying these guidelines to your example, the quote would look as follows:

WALTER. (With immense passion) "Because it is life, Mama!"

In this case, the emotion or stage direction is placed in parentheses after the character's name.

Remember to check your specific citation style's guidelines to ensure proper formatting in your essay.
