The Last of Us - How to write beautiful subtext

SPOILER ALERT
Episode 6, 'Kin' of The Last of Us hit hard. I knew what was going to happen but I was still blown away by some of the decisions the Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin made.
A lot of the changes are done remarkably well - the 'All is Lost' beat is also crazy good.
But, above all, what strikes me deep were the dialogues. Rich of meaningful subtext. Let's check it out in this latest Into the Woods video essay.

So, when we going out for a drink?

Great!

Pedro Pascal is better here or in Mandalorian?what do you think?

[@TheItalianScreenwriter]

Tough question! I’m not an acting expert! I’ll come back to this question once this show ends!

[@darwiniandude]

For me I think he's a good actor - because the character he plays in this show is very different to his character in The Mandalorian, and different again to his character in Game of Thrones. All three roles don't feel like the same person.
