Her is an example of the use of ellipses to indicate a pause in speech:"I'm trying to remember what she said. It was something like . . . let's see . . . oh, now I remember!"When there is an abrupt pause or interruption in dialogue, or when speech is suddenly broken off, then use an em dash:"I won't be able to-""What? What do you mean, you won't be able to?"
