STREET SMARTS!

did i do this to you ? or have you always been like this ?  because if it was me   .  .  .   i’m sorry.  

i will bury him, and i will dance on his grave.

if i didn’t know better, i’d say you still have feelings for me.  i saw your face.  i know you.

this is who you married.  this is who you love.

you chose love.  you chose me.  you chose your own happiness, and that’s not sitting so well with you now.  

it’s just inside, rotting deep inside you, the choice you made. and it’s not so much the choice, it’s the fact that you now know you’re capable of making that choice.  that’s what’s keeping you awake at night.

you did something.  it doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to be happy. 

they've got you under observation. i never knew what that meant until now. from what i can tell, it means a nurse will come in here every five minutes, wake you up and ask if you're resting okay.

i hate you. you left me all alone.

i don't forgive you. you are not forgiven.

oh god, you smell good. you smell like my guy.

i could picture the vegetables we would grow. i could picture the babies we would grow. now, it feels like someone else's life.

you have no idea how much damage control this requires.

i don't know what to say. i don't know how to get through to you.

i'll just sit here, and i won't run my mouth with a lot of noise that's not worthy. so you be as full on crazy as you want, for as long as you need, and i'm gonna be right here with you.

you don't dismiss me.

do you still love me ? it's a yes or no question.

i've killed kings, chief. consider it done.

i am all alone, except for you. i need you. you are all i have. you are everything.

they don't live on the dark side of the moon.

call off your puppy.

you don't want to talk about the fact that my wife moved out, and i'm alone ?

you do not summon me !

come back to me. forgive me. i love you.

i want what i asked for. nothing less.

she's not thinking like the political animal i know she can be. right now, she's thinking like someone who's hurt, has been broken one too many times.

i am here to find out what do you want ?

i have told you that i'd give it all up for you, again and again. i think you don't believe me. i think you believe that i will never choose you.

watch me earn you.

man, having a party and not inviting me ?  man, that’s not cool. that is so not cool, man ! 

i call it a weeder.  you get it, man ?  like a feeder.  weeder.

palm tree delight, that’s what you gotta do ! 

what’s the dude’s name ?  the dead dude.  i’m making him a headstone.  i’ll just write, “here lies unknown hero agent man”.

hey, dudes ?  ask them if we can ride in the baggage compartment.

your mom’s going to alaska. the britannicas are there.

this girl got schmacked in the head today at the roller rink.  it was one of those vicious skate attacks.

watch out, dominos.  your dominoes are gonna fall.

what exactly are we looking for here, my dudes ?

since when did we decide nina is a physical building, and not a small woman ?  sounds like a small woman to me. 

try before you deny.

i still highly recommend slapping some juicy pineapple on your pie.

i can’t feel my butt. can you guys feel your butts ?  

if that small woman is small enough, she could fit behind a small tree.

ouch.

mind fight. righteous ! 

yeah !  gotta be clean to enter the mind.

nina !  nina ?  NINAAAAAA ! 

holy macaroni.

no small woman named nina.

these are no regular tire tracks, brochachos. 

this risotto is schmackin’, dude.

yo, what are those dudes doing on the ground ?

i know of a magical place that has all you need, my brave little superpowered friend.

that mind fight is on !  come on, vamonos, pronto ! 

surf’s up, my dude ! 

thanks, my dude ! 

we’re not here for your tasty pies.

you see this weird girl behind me ?

first ever mind fight held in a pizza dough freezer.

pretty rad, right ?

too much flavor awesomeness can’t overpower your battery, can it ?

this is my kind of party ! 

you’re moping.  mopey dick.

i get we gotta hide supergirl and all, but this isn’t exactly the fortress of solitude, man. this is more like a fortress of grodiness. 

brutal, dude ! 

hold onto your butts, brochachos ! 

no, it’s a shitty knockoff.

you ever wonder why the wheels aren’t wood ?  or metal ?  it’s so people don’t get hurt when they get schmacked.

i really thought it was ocean pacific.

got me stressed out, it’s not even my girlfriend !

whoa, is that real blood ?

i’m super spiritual, dude.

i will shove her for you.  i will do anything for you.

open our minds ?  there’s an open grave in front of me, man ! 

i’m fairy certain this is my third life reincarnated. 

he said that you cupped a fart and put it in his face.

never seen a horsefly. i saw a horse pee once. that was a lot.

we had sex like six months ago.

why don’t you go all pat benatar on me, yeah?

make like dunst and union, and bring it on! 

i’m really sorry, and i’m ready to do whatever it takes to make it up to you.

you hit on my mom... in front of my dad.

i don’t know you, but i don’t like you!

i am not a worm!

just making sure you’re not gonna disappear for another six years.

nothing more likeable than watching someone humbly overcome adversity with their effortless god-given talent.

don’t bring that weak rubbish my way.

most adults think kids need to be constantly entertained. it’s bullshit. i didn’t need a fucking parade growing up every day, did you? truth is, they just want to feel like they’re part of our lives.

i like the light and absence of smells.

it’s pretty groovy, actually.

that’d be pretty neato.

i had this dope idea last night during my eyebrow threading.

touch your toes! those are your feet fingers.

what, you wanna make this ball your girlfriend? you gonna start taking it places under your arm? having people compliment how y’all look together? and then what —  you start caressing it and playing with, like, the little air hole nub? yeah? messing around with that, making out with it? making it your girlfriend? is that what you wanna do? then what, ask it to marry you? huh? you wanna be married to a ball?

y’all might call it something different here, like, uh, charles edgar cheeserton the third or something, right?

he’s a mouse, but he’s also a musician, and he loves video games and pizza.

i was smoking, but i don’t want a lecture.

i’ll allow it. go on.

sometimes you have to do the right thing, even if you will lose.

it’s not my fault i’m special.

sincerely, boss-ass bitch.

boss-ass bitch.

[name] is a muppet. 

i hope he dies of the incurable condition of being a little bitch.

we’re a team, ain’t we? gotta wear the same kit.

doing the right thing is never the wrong thing.

sorry i’m late. had to go number two.

your name is letters ?

all names are letters, dickhead.

what kind of dog do you think it is ?

let me out, i do not fuck with werewolves.

the weasel is dead !

in his hand, anything is a deadly weapon.

why would you want to watch tv on your watch?

you have what it takes to be a leader. i’ll make you one.

i just woke up. i don’t function well early in the morning.

‘starfish’ is a slang term for ‘butthole’. think there’s any connection ?

i’ve decided that you should eat a big bag of dicks, how about that ?

you’re being facetious, but if this whole beach was covered in dicks, and somebody said i had to eat every single one of them until it was clean for liberty, i would say ‘no problemo’.

how deep of a sleeper are you ?

i don’t believe he would do that. he has very kind eyes !

if i die because i gambled on love, it will be a worthy death.

you are a little idiot.

no one likes a show-off unless what you’re showing off is dope as fuck.

fuck. that’s true.

i’m sorry it’s so flamboyant.

oh. i’m a princess.

i’m gonna get you out of here alive.

we’re here to save you. it was   .  .  .   a really good plan, too.

you were gonna save me ?

what’s with the javelin ?

that’s patronizing.

who ate all the fucking empanadas ?

that isn’t an open invitation to cough without covering your mouth.

i am walking back and forth !

i love the rain. it’s like angels are splooging all over us !

new dumb friends !

aw, fizzle sticks. hold on.

somebody named milton has been with us the whole time ?  i don’t think so. i think i would’ve noticed if a guy named milton’s been with us. it’s not a very common name.

what in the actual fuck ?

i could be your friend.

we just had a conversation for like three hours, talking about how your name is milton !

they were shocked that his heart was still beating.

i told you i’d make you a leader.

he was my friend.

she’s getting back at us by saddling us with this douchebag.

i realized we’re both working for me.

i loved him, but i didn’t need him.

the world might be forever neutral, but that means hope is just as likely as despair.

sometimes it was beautiful.

perhaps my only real expertise, my only talent, is to endure beyond the endurable.

some questions will ruin you if you are denied the answer long enough.

i should have known that you were the one that stays.

i’m not untouchable anymore, am i?

there is no one with me. i am all by myself.

this was brutality for the sake of brutality.

anyone can do my job, but no one can be me.

i’ll see you in the beginning, friend.

you know the whole story.

the trees are not trees, the birds are not birds and i am not me, but just something that has been walking for a very long time.

i can, because i do.

i don’t belong here anymore.

there’s something disturbing about recalling a warm memory and feeling utterly cold.

i'm the vengeful bitch you scarred on the outside.

i should be dead. and i’m not saying that in some sort of dramatic fashion. i actually should be dead.

she has evolved. not for better or worse. she’s just different.

my blood’s not cold.

your lack of curiosity is merely an extension of your narcissism, your egotistical view of the world. the man i’m looking at right now is as good as he’s gonna get.

i feel unraveled.

i am not returning home.

you have to accept it, because it’s there.

you wanted to stand in the sun, in the bright white light. it blinded you.

you’re attracted to the truth.

what is it that is so special about you? you have so much power over him. he revolves around you.

try and stop me, you jumped up little shit.

i’m not trying to patronize you. it’s just that i care about you, and i just want to make sure that you’re okay.  so you know what?  it’ll make you feel better.  i’ll get you a plate of overpriced food, and i’ll be right back, okay?

some people don’t want to be saved.

i’m just getting started.

we've turned life into one big party to distract ourselves from a single, unavoidable truth. 

i’m sick of playing at a disadvantage.

that girl is dead.

my mom said beer wasn’t ladylike, so i learned to love it as an act of rebellion.

you are the architect of your own unhappiness.

don’t do that crooked smile thing. 

you know what they say. payback’s a bitch.

i need to feel that pain. without it, i feel broken. empty.

don’t patronize me.

i know you won’t hurt me. i’ve known that since the second we met.

has it ever occurred to you that i am less interested in fixing your problems, and more interested in forgetting my own? booze and board games is pretty much where i’m at right now.

it really was totally worth it.

guess what? he kinda likes me.

don’t say tired.

my sixteen year old self would think i’m really cool right now.

irritability is another form of sublimation. you’re not annoyed with me, you blame yourself for getting into this mess. it's okay to admit it.

who stabbed him?

i came here, because you need me. you need me to tell you that this is not you.

he just got under my skin, i guess.

my choice is the only thing i have left, and no one is taking that away from me.

am i supposed to fear you, too?

we were bonded our whole lives.

ask me to dance.

i’m sorry, are you, of all people, offering me a lesson in restraint?

look at you, repeating the same destructive cycles over and over again. you are the architect of your own unhappiness.

there's more to life than the pain they made you feel. a cold beer. a slow song. a good friend. there are good things. you need to see that too.

i never want to dance. i’m actually really bad at it.

i need to make this right.

you think it’s too much?

mission impossible? no?

you have pizza on the new sofa?

he is so cute.

he gets that a lot. you should meet his kid, though.

please tell me there’s a dalmatian around here somewhere.

the morning definitely wasn’t the same without you.

we love the carbs.

to be honest, i just fell into it.

the way they cared for me   .  .  .   that’s what kept me alive.

he’s not prickly, he just doesn’t know you yet.

tell me where you are.

these are specs of chocolate and entire worlds at the same time.

my allergies are going crazy today. the index wasn’t high this morning. do you think it’s a new kind of pollen?

who goes to aruba this time of year?

did these beauty queens shrink, or are we suddenly giants?

they’re like the tiniest ladies i’ve ever seen.

you smell like love!

oh, you made him cry!

would you like to hang out and watch a movie?

do you think a ghost called 9-1-1?

no one can wait forever.

hope is a tricky thing. it keeps you going for a while. but, at some point, if what you’re hoping for is never gonna happen, then it’s just holding you back from your life.

it’s hard to know if you’re hanging on for too long, or giving up too soon.

i think you do know. it just may take you some time to admit it to yourself.

what did you need that i didn’t give you?

i needed someone to have my back.

he’s the ghost that haunts my brain.

are you some kind of pirate?

thank you, for keeping me safe.

go to sleep, okay?

the voice in my head keeps saying ‘move on’.

maybe i’m the ghost, lingering here when i should’ve moved on a long time ago.

i’m sure you get ignored all the time.

that’s either gonna go well, or   .  .  .   the other thing.

i don’t even know what that means. i’m the one who brings in the mail.

i see the girl who once drank nine shots of jäger and woke up without a hangover.

you are an eternal optimist.

you have to admire her creativity, if nothing else.

that’s my sister.

i’m just trying to be responsible and well-behaved.

that was stupid, but heroic.

i was only thinking of you.

you made me hot mustard.

it’s buffriday.

you were eleven. don’t you have impulse control?

for once, could you do a damn dish?

i can only hope to find something that good.

you don’t find something that good. you make it.

he’s an idiot, but he’s fine.

i just came to check on you.

my life is a work in progress. it’s a mess. i wouldn’t expect anyone to want to take that on.

i really care about you. i just didn’t want you to feel pressured, that i was pushing you into something that you’re not ready for.

you never pushed.

that would never scare me off.

my calendar’s wide open.

you changed your hair?

you didn’t call me because you felt some weird debt, right?

wow, maybe i should’ve called him.

rise and shine.

well, he was a real son of a bitch.

you might want to close your eyes for this part.

wow, you really are hot.

is your kid really the reason you don’t date?

it’s complicated when you have a kid.

that’s a weak excuse.

hmm. i thought you just dressed alike.

okay, i don’t get it. i thought you would be more excited about this. i thought you would be celebrating. why are you not enjoying this moment?

success is now about this family, the people in my life who love me. i am in a place where i’m comfortable in my life. i don’t know if i want to upend that.

take a risk. the next place might be better.

i didn’t know where to take him.

he loves that kid like crazy.

you’re really moving out?

you convinced me to start over. 

it’s not going to feel like my life unless i’m standing on my own two feet. that’s the only way i’m going to know it’s real.

i save awful people every day. it’s my job.

she just got here, now she’s leaving again.

i get to hold a grudge until i die.

how long do i have to wait until i get to be happy too?

i guess it’s easier to not talk about it, but it’s always there on my mind.

you’re not helpless. you’re right here.

i asked you here because there’s someone i want you to meet.

i’m red tape’s worst nightmare.

i find it’s best not to argue with her.

i can barely make lunch.

our lives are shaped by relationships. the stronger those ties are, the less awful everything else seems.

let’s see what you’re working with. besides that perfect bone structure.

time to save the world.

not everyone is awful.

she’s this place’s celine dion.

if i let everything get to me, i wouldn’t make it past breakfast.

i think the real crime is being in florida at this time of the year.

maybe they’ll surprise you in the best way.

outstanding haircut !

that is a beautiful man.

he likes to be called ‘eight pack’.

i like to always operate under the assumption that nothing he says is serious.

you think there is any way we can unsee that ?

having boobs doesn’t hurt.

you just cooked me food !  actual food !  is there a shallot in here ?

what i want is for her to come back.  i like the me that i am with her.

i’m just passing through.

it was getting pretty lonely around here.

niecy nash should be on mount rushmore.

what are we measuring here ?

you wanted us to bond.  we might end up real close.

i don’t have these answers.  i’m not into beefcake calendars.

i would like to take you out on a proper date.

hey, who are you hiding from ?

i’m ashamed.  i’m ashamed of us.  i’m ashamed of being happy.

you don’t want to invest because you’re afraid of being hurt.

standing between you and anyone who thinks they can hurt you is exactly where i want to be standing.

you can start over.

do you think dogs know they’re dogs ?  

what you do, it’s like performance art.

she’s practically running the place.

you’re one of those, aren’t you ?  a reader.

you would think that after fourteen seasons of grey’s anatomy that people would know this stuff.

you’re lucky you didn’t hurt anyone.

here’s how you make it through the day. don’t worry about the things you can’t do anything about.

this kid is a son to me.  he’s in my charge.

i love you, kid.

you’re in a bad spot, here.

help is not coming. 

her head, it’s bleeding.

they could really use a miracle today.

your family needs you right now.

sorry.  sarcasm is my fallback for pretty much everything.

how’s my man ?

is that a friend of yours ?

don’t waste your strength, or your time.

even i couldn’t save me.  you don’t know me, but i’m good.

i need to see you.

i have been worrying about your mom before you were born.  it comes with the territory.

we’re going to have faith that she’s okay, and be happy to see her when she comes home.

i swore i would never lie to you again. 

you’re okay. you’re okay.

i’ve been looking for you, baby !  are you hurt ?

it’s been a day.

my gut tells me everything i need to know.

you’re pretty. and smart. so pretty, so smart.

this is on us now.

you lie, all bets are off.

i was sleeping.

just to be clear –– that was me threatening you.

you wanna burn down his house? you’re gonna have to be willing to burn down your own as well.

go home, i’m not telling you a thing.

you’re a real bitch, you know that?

and yet, you came when i called.

he’s wooing you.

i’ll handle it. consider it handled.

you’re touchy pre-coffee.

i like working for myself. but i’ve never left your side.

you’re here because you worship her. you want to be her. you think that if you stand in her light, you’ll finally do stuff that matters. because you need to believe that there’s something greater than a nine to five crap job, that there’s a higher purpose, that your life has meaning because the world feels big and you feel lost.

i’ve got good, i’ve got bad, i’ve got ugly.

i wish you were a cynic. your life would be so much easier if you were a cynic.

she’s in this with you.

she’s not one of the good guys. she’s the best guy.

tell him to go to hell.

can you at least pretend you aren’t enjoying this?

i’m on your side. do you understand? i’m on your side.

this is why i don’t date.

i could do my job really well if you’d just tell me what is going on.

that’s the only reason why you are here. that’s the only reason why you could be.

thank you. now get the hell away from me, and leave me alone.

i made you want to die, and i am sorry about that. i’m not proud of that. i’m not. but i’d like to help you now, if you’d let me.

i think that love allows for forgiveness.

i never took you for the “hell hath no fury” type.

he’s good. he has you in the palm of his hand. you’re being played.

how bad is this for you? there’s no shame in saying you can’t handle this.

you and i aren’t friends anymore. don’t come here again.

i want to keep this baby.

i left you because i wanted to leave you. i left you because i don’t love you anymore.

you keep asking me what i want. i want them all to burn for this.

that’s who you are. you are the gladiator. i would gladly follow you over a cliff. but you’ve gotta show up. you don’t get to pick and choose when the real you walks through that door.

how many times do i have to tell you?  no business during business hours.

in that case, screw your mama and stare away.

great enthusiasm, terrible timing.

got ‘em,  show ‘em,  work ‘em.

ma’am?  what am i,  my mother?

what did she ever do to you?

i wanna be up there,  i wanna do that.

that must have made you very popular in the sandbox.

don’t “not now” me.

we play this thing right,  and we all come out winners.

did you also tell him i have a tattoo on my ass?

you don’t understand because it’s above your pay grade.

stop. take her and remove her.

they need you back on the floor, but thanks for visiting us.

you look so beautiful right now, i can’t believe it.

and you are so full of shit!

i don’t have anyone.

so you’re not here to use my phone.

stop  ––  stop,  please,  it’ll be alright.  just please stop crying.

i’m really glad i don’t have to be alone tonight.

i hope you don’t mind.  it’s the least i could do.

i should put on some pants.

i’ve got a plan.  

why do they call it morning sickness if it happens at every moment of the day?

please have the flu.

you gotta make me believe that you belong up there.

you wanna show me something?  show me something!

i’ll practice until i bleed! i know i can do this.

she’s your replacement.

i am so gonna regret this.

a girl who doesn’t blend in?  oh,  my!

that brush isn’t working because it’s too old.

alright,  here.  let me help you.

when you are putting on makeup,  it’s like you’re an artist. 

body that could stop a truck.

it was fabulous.

i don’t love you.

tell me a new lie.

clearly one of us has underestimated the other.

look at you.  just the way you were gazing after her.

relationship advice from mr. one-night-stand himself.

you’re drunk.  go inside and call a cab.

you think you’re my only problem?

do you really have to do that at six am?

the people that care about you are worried?

we’re a family.  we look out for each other.

it was tahoe,  baby.  and it was lovely.

looking kind of lonely there.

i’m sorry for being a class-a prick.

do i really look alone to you?

oh, my feet are killing me. take off these shoes, please help me!

cute jammies.

my mother got me these,  thank you very much.

you don’t get to say that to me.  i can take “the sky is falling” from everyone but you.

there she is.  i thought i’d lost you for a minute at the beginning there.

that’s my girl.

that’s new.  that’s a surprise.

look at you, becoming the woman i’ve always hoped you would be.  choosing to be a warrior instead of a person.  i’m proud of you.  surprised, but proud.

i won’t save you.  i will come after you.

at least you’ve become a worthy opponent.

here’s to doing what’s right.  i’m not celebrating,  but to you,  i’m drinking.

no one dies.

you won’t be very proud of me when this is all over.

i know you.

i’m disappointed.

he always went on and on about how special you were.  you were the golden boy.

i’m gonna go again.  you try this time,  okay?

make some noise for me.  anything.  come on, make some noise for me.

he’s dead.  they killed him,  and he’s dead.

they’re coming for us,  for all of us.

he won’t last like this.

he will kill all of you,  just to teach me a lesson.

the doctor is coming.

what is there to say other than “bravo”?

somebody’s always dying.

no one is more ruthless than her.  no one is more dangerous.

wait, what does that mean, “let’s go get some blood”?

does she buy meat here?

you probably don’t know who i am.

the complicated way involves me calling in favors with people far darker, dirtier, and deeper underground than you can possibly fathom to make your life a living hell.

some people have bark,  some people have bite.  i have both.

i hate myself for saying that.  i threw up a little bit for saying that.

i’m the problem.

you’ve got to be kidding.

for the love of god,  get on board!

i’m supporting my wife.

you seem bitter.

against me,  you will never win.

think i can have some time with him?

thought you were some kind of myth,  until i met you.

bitch,  please,  why are pretending like we’re in 1973?

you’re talented. you should know that.

he needs her to know she’s never safe from him.

did he disappoint you?  not live up to your very, very high standards?  did you learn that he’s only human after all?

don’t talk about me like you know me.

you are a warrior  ––  never reckless, never naive.  too smart to let fear drive you.  precise,  quiet, calculating.  you will wait for the right time.  you’ll look at all the possible outcomes.  you’ll handle this situation in the matter it needs to be handled.

burn it down and never look back.

it’s a light sedative.  he’ll wake up with a painful hangover and a bit of amnesia.

goodbye homicidal burglary,  hello missing person.

i think we go old school on this one.

this is what you do?  this is your job?

don’t tell me you weren’t a little surprised.

it takes a lot to surprise me,  because this is what i do.  you call me,  i save your life.

now you know what i’m about.

do not feed the pigeon.

i’m not here to check up on you.  i know you.  i know you can handle this.  i’m here to tell you that if you get scared,  or nervous  ––  which you should,  we all should.  i’m here.  you can call on me.

will you please come in?

you are beautiful and very sexy.  incredibly sexy.  and a lot of fun.  but  .  .  .   i’m looking for something more stable.  so  ––

my life is very complicated.  and i want it to be not be complicated.  and when i’m with you,  nothing is complicated.  i want that.  i need that.

i wasn’t aware we were on speaking terms.

when we fight, we forgive and forget.

these boys may go to battle for you,  they may even kill for you.

you will always have a place at my table.  i will always be there.

we won’t survive this.  neither will he.  

don’t ever talk about me and the sun and another person ever again.

turn around and bend over.

they just want to win.

i don’t want to be angry at you anymore.

it was the first time you even looked at me in months.

those people are not your people. they never will be.  you’ll never be one of them.

you wanted to stand in the sun, in the bright, white light.  it blinded you.

you think the world is so terrible with me in it? wait until you see what it’s like without me.

you came here to kill me?

i was on the fence! doesn’t that mean anything to you?

you can never leave me alone because you have no place else to go. the only life you have is the sad,  twisted one you built here.

watch yourself.

i’m very good at what i do. i’m better at it than anybody else. and that is not arrogance, that is a fact.

i know you.  i wouldn’t propose to you unless i wanted to lose you.

you are not done.  you did the right thing here.

i looked at all possible outcomes.  i understand what needs to be done,  and i picked a side.  but not yours. 

i can do things that cannot be done.

i’ve underestimated you.  probably not for the first time.

i’m preparing for the truth.

i want us to stand in the sun.

you’re not going to die.

i love her. does that matter to you at all?  she is loved.

true power hides in plain sights.

that is how the job is done.  that is how the work happens.

need i remind you after all this time?

you can’t take command.  command takes you.

look what he did to you.

you and i are ruined.  we don’t have a chance now.

i have weapons at my disposal.  weapons you can’t possibly possess.

i brought you two very nice dresses to choose from.

it has to be okay.  i can suck it up.

you cry if you want to.

what do you want?

you can’t handle this.

you haven’t heard the question yet.

i’m sorry.  i don’t meant to stare.  it’s just   .  .  .   i don’t get to look at you very often.  

i’ve never seen you.  and you   .  .  .   are beautiful.  the face that launched a thousand ships.

why did you leave him?  

what is it that is so special about you?  you have so much power over him.  he revolves around you.  

i think he had to see it for himself,  see that you were really gone.

we just didn’t talk about it.

he needed you.  he was in pain,  he wanted to die.

i could protect him from everyone.  except you.  i could never protect him from you.

it’s what’s behind your eyes.  i can see it.  and you know they all love you.  i can see it.  i can see why.  helen of troy,  the face that launched a thousand ships.

her father was a god.

my father is not a god.  he is a man.

i wanted to shoot him.  i didn’t, but i wanted to.  i wanted to kill him.  i wanted him dead.  it didn’t even feel wrong.  it felt good.  i’m just saying, it felt really good.

when i strike, it is precise and for a reason.  

against me, you will lose.

i can’t believe i just let you kiss me.

i’m back.  that’s what you wanted,  right?

they’re gone.  and here i am.

i need you to know not choosing me is okay.
