Facial Dialogue occurs when a character is communicating not just his emotional reactions or intense feelings, but entire reams of dialog using nothing more than their facial expressions and without saying a single word. When two characters do this to each other, it results in entire paragraphs of byplay, all perfectly understandable to the audience despite the entire exchange being silent. Used correctly, such scenes can be as good as, or even better, than those with actual spoken dialogue. Examples of Facial Dialogue include:

Eye Take, Aside Glance and Fascinating Eyebrow may be used as part of the Facial Dialogue, but by themselves are only limited versions. Often the forte of The Silent Bob, The Voiceless and The Quiet One. Often featured in a No Dialogue Episode. It is just as often used by characters who are perfectly capable of speaking, but just don't in this occasion. Has nothing to do with porn actresses talking to the cameraman after...well, you figure it out. Well, it might. But probably not. Examples of Facial Dialogue include:
