I've always found that a rather unfortunate quirk in our species. Everyone pants towards orgasm without pausing to realise that its merely a biological trap designed for the purpose of reproduction. What utter nonsense.
He often paused before he spoke. She thought this exquisite; it was as though he had such regard for his listener that he wanted his words strung together in the best possible way.
I will say you could always look at 'Looney Tunes' and learn about writing. I think you can learn a lot about the beats of comedy. I think you can find out about awkward pauses, because I think they did those well.
I left a pause. ‘You sound like a certain kind of surgeon. A lot more interested in the operation than the patient.’ ‘I should not like to be in the hands of a surgeon who did not take that view.

Don Corleone: I like to drink wine more than I used to... [pause] Don Corleone: Anyway, I'm drinking more. Michael: It's good for you, Pop. Don Corleone: Ah, I don't know...
Brutus "Brutal" Howell: Well, there must be something we can do for you, John. There must be something we that you want. John Coffey: [pauses] I ain't never seen me a flicker show.
[Kim and Zoe are convincing Abernathy to convince Jasper to take his 1970 Dodge Challenger for a test drive] Zoe: What are you going to do? Blow him? Abernathy: [repulsed] No! Abernathy: [pause] I'm going to insinuate that Lee is.
