"It was impossible to get a conversation going; everybody was talking too much."

All about the things that characters say. (Note: Dialogue can refer to any number of people speaking; "dia-" means "through". Two people speaking would be "duologue".)
Compare with Language Tropes and Narrator Tropes.
