Dialogue boxes Options

[Kaust]

A project I'm currently working on is converting a play into RM (The Importance of Being Earnest). As you're all likely aware plays rely heavily on dialogue as a narrative force (relaying offscreen events and the likes). With this in mind I'm sure you can understand the desire for a pleasant method of presenting dialogue, it often comes across so untidy.
So here are a few examples of relaying dialogue and I'd like you to pick your favourite or suggest one I haven't thought of.

1. The plain, blunt, approach: (Easy and so much less time consuming, preferable seeing as I'm copying out for hours at a time, but I dislike the result)

"Did you really Miss Prism? How wonderfully
clever you are! I hope it did not end happily?
I don't like novels that end happily."

2. A sentence per box: (A little ott? These sentences are, of course, quite short, so you see this method in its worst, but still accurate, light. This would allow for many changes in face art though, and so more apt expressions)

"Did you really Miss Prism?"
"How wonderfully clever you are! "
"I hope it did not end happily?"
"I don't like novels that end happily."

3. Some amalgamation of the above: (This may be the best method, it feels the most phonetic, but its so hard to define when each should start and end)

"Did you really Miss Prism?
How wonderfully clever you are!"
"I hope it did not end happily?
I don't like novels that end happily."

I don't think i clearly understand the difference between method #2 and #3. Is #2 separated into 4 different text boxes and #3 is one text box with each sentence on a different line? If so then it would depend on you text box. If you are doing default text box style than #3 would be best. However if you are doing speech bubble style than obviously choice #2 would be better. Choice #1 is tacky and gives off the feeling that you are reading a book, which may bore some.
