Emphasis in dialog is best left to the director and the actor. However, if you choose to emphasize a piece of dialog early on in the film script as a clue, or as a character tag, or as a red herring, or in a V.O. or O.S. line, type the word in caps. Use only one or two of these in an entire script, otherwise your script could be considered 'amateurish'. .
