gothwalk: (hope springs eternally from my fist)

I'm writing an essay. It's about Pygmalion and Wide Sargasso Sea. I've only just started the the writing, and already I've had to stop twice to dig up obscrure things - references to the structure of Tom Brown's Schooldays and What Katy Did, so far. Now, however, I want a footnote from a Pratchett book. Which Pratchett book? I've no idea. And there are twenty-odd of them. I'm fairly sure it was a Discworld book. I'm fairly sure it was one of the middle ones - not the first two, and not the clearly themed ones. The footnote is after he's ended one scene on a dialogue question, and started the next with a dialogue answer, and the footnote says that this is a common technique in movies, and there's probably some fancy name for it, and it doesn't quite work, and you can't trust an industry with a job title like "Best Boy". Or something like that.

Anyone able to give me a dig out here, and tell me which book it is, and, better still, where in it the footnote is?
