Why would it be big if you put it in a file?
Personally, I would put each character script in a file, index each conversation - parse the file to the index you want, and display the text on the screen.
Should be quick enough, plus if I remember the PS1 games with the similar sort of thing, there were always delays between speaking (each line being typed - quite annoying).
