Top Ten Movie Misquotes

A good tease will contain as few words as possible, getting to the point immediately. When attributing facts in a tease, make sure that attribution is absolutely necessary. For example, look at the phrase, "she says she's mad at the government." Do you believe her? Can we take that information as fact? If you truly believe a fact is true, consider leaving the attribution out of the tease. "She's mad at the government." There is no need to include "she says" if you are sure that fact is true.
