Default Subtitles

I want to ask something about English movie subtitles. If in a single 'scene' the subtitles show the dialogs of more than one person, is it written like this:

Quote:
- Who are you?
- I'm John.
... or like this:


Quote:
"Who are you?'
"I'm John."
I know there's no such thing as a dialog line (-) in English, and that only quotes are used, but I'm unsure whether this applies for subtitles as well.

Thanks in advance!
