Record short dialogue in lounge (7)
I believe the answer is:
recline
'lounge' is the definition.
(both can mean to laze around)
'record short dialogue' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'rec' (short for record).
'short' means to remove the last letter.
'dialogue' becomes 'lines' (I've seen this in another clue).
'lines' with its final letter removed is 'line'.
'rec'+'line'='RECLINE'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for recline that I've seen before include "Lie on the back or side" , "Be recumbent" , "Lounge" , "Lean back to rest" , "Lie in a comfortable position" .)
