That's true. And I hate to keep harping on this, but even if all of that dialogue is indeed in the film exactly as quoted (though we have yet to see for ourselves how it's delivered), probably at the most it could comprise 90 seconds of content. And while there's also a probability that there's more where it came from, it wouldn't be the first time if that trailer gathers the most and the best of that type of dialogue to showcase it but most of the rest of the film could be very different. It wouldn't be the first time by a long short. Trailers can and have been very deceptive. With adept editing they can make dramatic films look like comedic films, comedic films look like dramatic films, romantic films look like action films, action films look like romantic films, action films look like comedic films, etc., etc. And there are too many examples of that to even begin to list here.
The bottom line is that trailer is designed to attract the potential portion of the audience who will respond to Depp/Burton's brand of humor. And like I said, if we can go by the Depp fans over on JOHNNYDEPPZONE, the descriptions of it seem to be working rather well. But that doesn't necessarily mean that all there is to the film is one liner upon one liner (the description of and the lack of one liners in the part involving Josette shows that to some degree). And given how so many people connected with it have said that the DS film contains a variety of styles and moods and because of that it will be very interesting to see how Warner Brothers attempts to market it, it just might be the case that no trailer, whether it focuses mostly on humor or romance or horror or whatever else, will be an accurate reflection of what the film will really be like...
