My character is a very, very fast talker and I was wondering how best to write his dialogue I was thinking

I am gonna scrub all plotted programmes and just plot a whole new trajectory, try and reduce the curve, given the capabilities this thing has it shouldn't be too much of a stretch.


just have no punctuation or would that just be a silly thing to do?

any advice would be appreciated.

Just write in the character's intro that he speaks a mile a minute. Or something like that. Or simply a very fast talker.

Just seeing your post now.  For what it's worth, I have a fast talker in my current project.  On first action reference I refer to him that way, as well as in his character heading.    Also, of course, important that the dialogue sounds like someone would/could say it fast.    For example (just making this up):

EXT.  SIDE OF ROAD - DAY

Harvey and a FAST TALKING TOW TRUCK DRIVER look under the steaming hood.

                                      FAST TALKING TOW TRUCK DRIVER
                            I''ll just slap in a power carb, new plugs, jumbo
                            tranny and a free quart of oil and you'll have four
                            wheels on the freeway faster than your daughter
                            gives it up on a Friday.
