Script/dialogue.

There isn't much dialogue in this scene. The bulk of it is in the news interview where they bring up one of the main themes in the film, which is the threat of nuclear war. They talk about the doomsday clock which is the count down towards the potential nuclear war with russia and if it is at all possible that the war will happen, the three people disscus this point but come to no solid conlusion as they all have diffrent points of view on the subject. In this conversation one of the main characters is bought up ,Dr manhatten and the hand he will have in this war. The other dialogue is between the comedian and the masked man though the masked man dosent speek, but this is sparce and occurs before the fight when the Comedian states "Just a matter of time I s'pose" This leads us to believe that he knew this was coming which as the film continues we find out that it was a planed murder and was used to allude the watchmen from the bigger picture which is revealed at the end. The dialogue doesnt play a big part in this opening but does open you up for the rest of the fils story.
