    They all appear to contain dialect. Dialect is when one character is speaking, and those sentences all have quotation marks in them, which indicates a character speaking.

    What you're thinking of is "dialogue", which is speech between characters. Dialect is a particular form of a language that is peculiar to a specific region or social group. So the answer would be, "Lookia my frien, no be play we come play for your house."
