Pinter is a playwrite whose main innovation was the "pregnant pause" - long intervals between speaking.

Ever watch MST3K? During the abysmal Cave Dwellers, starring the abysmal Miles O'Keefe, Servo comments that the movie has "more pauses than a Pinter play."

LOL! They nailed it! Take the pauses from a Pinter play and you got 15-20 minutes, tops!
