Recognising unnatural dialogue

It's weird, but a lot of the time I don't notice whether or not scripted dialogue is natural. Every now and then where there's a dramatic pause I trip up, but sometimes it's long after a line is spoken that I realise people don't speak that way. This probably means I watch too many movies. That's what my drama teacher told me back in high school.

PS - This does not bode well for writing dialogue myself.
PPS - On the other hand, if they can get away with it...
