Characterization through dialogue

This is a line from Hills Like White Elephants. "I wanted to try this new drink. That's all we do, isn't it-look at things and try new drinks?" It was a conversation between Jig and the American. He was trying to convince her to have an abortion. She was thinking about settling down.

The statement is indirect persuasion, because she is trying to get him to confront the emptiness in their lives, and that it is time to move on to other things. However, she is not coming right out and just saying it. She is leaving a lot of the underlying tension unspoken.
"You wanted to try this new drink that's all we do isn't - look at the things and try new drinks" best demonstrates Hemingway's characterization through dialogue.
