& ┊ // ⊰ ❜ A TRUE TRIBRID !

Oh, a bit lightheaded. It might have had something to do with being knocked arse over teacup by dear old dad.

You can’t trust me, which means you cannot love me. Not as I love you.

You must be growing tired of saving my ass.

Hurting the ones we love, it’s just what we do.

In hindsight, you could’ve been nicer to people. Or at least left fewer survivors.

In that case, you best kiss me before I go.

I think I want to be alone for this bit.

That’s a lot easier to do when you haven’t died already once.

I’m not the bad guy in this chapter of our family’s story. 

And whilst you got everythng you ever wanted, I got a family who didn’t care if I lived or if I died.

I see my timing is as impeccable as usual.

I take sides with whoever I think is gonna win. And to be honest, well, you and mum were acting a bit daft, weren’t you?

Well, to be absolutely clear here, technically he could go alone.

You are outmaneuvered, outnumbered, and quite frankly, you’re out of your mind. You’re not getting out of this alive.

I was going to say kinky, but that’ll work.

Oh dear, I’ve hit a nerve. Relax, darling, I just want us to be even.

There’s always time for games.

I swear to you, the day will come when I’m not so easily subdued, and on that day, I will make you suffer.

Don’t look so surprised, love. I didn’t just ask you out because you’re gorgeous.

I can’t share my secrets with you unless we trust each other.

She’s never going to trust me if she thinks I’m just a flying monkey to the wicked witch.

____ Tell me how handsome I am.

Again with the dagger threats? Don’t you have any other tricks?

I’ve met a lot of people. And you don’t particularly stand out.

And spit right in the face of mother’s rules. I’m in.

I’m itching to kill something. What are we waiting for?

Outside? What’s wrong with right here on the stairs? Make a spectacle of it.

Out all night. What a scandal! I trust you did better than that commoner? 

A woman of your caliber ought to choose more suitable company. What’s your name, love?

I’m pretty sure I don’t care.

And why would I do that? I like pretty little things with sharp tongues.

Frankly, ______, I don’t think you could handle it.

Sorry about the mess. Ugh, it was a little crowded when I arrived, and I prefer more intimate gatherings. We three need to have a little chat.

Why do people always run to the attic? I mean, it makes no sense!

It requires charm, and personality– something you’d know nothing about.

Family is power, ___. Love, loyalty. That’s power! 

___, in the name of our family, you might try to dial down your glee. 

To find out who’s making a move against our ____ And then I’ll either stop them… or I’ll help them, depending on my mood.

It’s a gift. It’s your chance… it’s our chance.

I’ll stop searching for his redemption when I believe there is none left to be found.

I’ve given up on giving up. It’s an affliction. 

I will fight for my family until my last breath. 

You know, difficulties aside, I value my family above everything. I am sorry that yours failed you. 

You don’t make it easy to love you 

Darling, we’ve got to stop meeting like this. This is how rumors begin. 

I’m not trying to impress the girl. 

Nobody hurts my family and lives. 

The definition of the word broken suggests that something can be fixed. 

I leave it to you to make the decision whether to trust me or not. 

You will always have a choice. 

I have denied every single impulse that I have ever had for that woman, out of some misbegotten respect for intentions that you don’t even have. 

I let this person in… I let her in… I don’t let people in… You knew this, you’ve taken her from me… I needed her and you’ve broken me… 

Yes, far better to practice your process of grief, ___. Denial, rage, and hoarding coffins in basements. 

Yes, well, when you put it that way it does sound a little reckless.

Well, that seems like the right thing to do. You know, I tried that myself. It didn’t work. 

You are a deranged and ridiculous child who cannot be left unsupervised.

Shhh! ____,  grown ups are talking.

How odd. Forever on Santa’s naughty list.

I rather enjoy Thanksgiving. The turkey, the cranberry sauce. The lies, the deceit, the betrayal.

_____, next time I ask you to take out the trash, try not to dally.

Watch your tongue. I am not the fun loving social butterfly you may recall.

I thought only of you. Every day I fought for your return, searching for a way. You were not forgotten.

I’m not in the habit of asking permission.

If we cannot trust one another, we cannot work together.

As a devout feminist, I refuse to say you hit like a girl.

You mobsters all suffer from such hubris.

Gentlemen, shall we?

I trust you can find your clothing and the door.

I always come back.

I believe that when you love someone and that person loves you in return you’re uniquely vulnerable. They have a power to hurt you that’s like nothing else.

Perhaps I’m not making myself clear here. This is a threat.

Please. You’ve never paid for anything in your life.

Those who live hate me more then ever. 

It was a little melodramatic for my tastes

What an entirely unwelcome surprise.

I will not be manipulated.

Are you here to give me another pep talk on the joys of fatherhood?

The level of awkwardness we’re all currently experiencing is entirely genuine.

Well, don’t be fooled love. I’m the devil in disguise.

What is it about my brother that always inspires such instant admiration?

Wasn’t it you who once said I could talk my way out of Hell?

I can tell you I love you tomorrow. You’re not dying today.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how much am I going to hate this little plan of yours?

Tend to _____. I have to murder my ex.

I’m begging you. Don’t leave me.

Death dances silently in everyone’s shadow, and she doesn’t give a damn. So why give a damn about her?

It’s better a flawed life lived than wasted rotting away in clay.

Because you wished it. Because what’s important to you is important to me. What makes you happy makes me want to keep you so. What scares you, I want to tear apart.

Violence is unavoidable then. Well, I tried.

I’m sure you’re quite capable of protecting yourself from the scourge of fraternity row.

Mere hours after you lecture me about boundaries and here you are at my house in the middle of the night.

If I tell you who I really am and you refuse to believe me then I can hardly be blamed for your disappointment.

I quite enjoy my obsessions, thank you very much.

Well, it hasn’t been a picnic, honestly.

You know, you all seem to think this is a democracy, and I assure you it is not!

This family makes me want to murder people.

You mistake my intentions. I haven’t come here to fight you. Not at all. This is to be an execution. Tell me, how exactly would you like to die?

You do realize it is not I who is to be the husband you can boss around.

I’m sorry, is this some sort of motherly critique? Please feel free to choke on it.

You know, it’s funny how often a person’s sharp tongue can end up cutting their own throat.

I’m missing a crucial color in my palette, that of my enemies’ blood.

Well she has a hint of the devil in her eyes. That’s all me.

If you fail to uphold your end of the deal, the consequences for you will be apocalyptic.

Seems rather uncivilized to laugh and dance around the body of a loved one.

Oh, I beg to differ. Some women actually find me quite charming.

Nonsense, I love people.

The stench of your judgment is overwhelming.

He’s your first love. I intend to be your last. However long it takes.

Let me get you a drink. And I’ll tell you all about being the bad guy.

_____, you’re beautiful. But if you don’t stop talking, I will kill you.
