    I use line breaks in dialogue to suggest a change of focus.

    For instance, any time a different person speaks or acts.

    If you want to switch the focus from Noggin to the bucks losing interest, a line break makes sense. If Noggin is the one noticing the loss of interest between his comments, then I don’t think a line break is necessary.

    Without further context, that’s my suggestion.
