from the 2026 film, requested by anonymous. Alter wording as needed to your heart's content. Some of these have been changed slightly for rp use.

"Why do I know that? Am I smart?"

"I can’t be the only person here. Right?"

"That’s the sun! There it is."

"(name), can you help me out? There we go!"

"I’m not sure it should come from me."

"We’re all gonna die!"

"You're forgetting something."

"I need your help."

"That was a long time ago."

"You heard about that, huh?"

"No one in your field wants anything to do with you because you refused to back down from a very unpopular view, and I can give you a chance to prove them all wrong."

"Well, joke’s on them because I don’t even care."

"You’re running away because you’re scared."

"I need you to come with us."

"Sorry, I didn't catch your name."

"I want you to tell me what they are, how they work."

"(name)'s really dying, isn't it?"

"Is all of this necessary?"

"It died. This is great news."

"Sorry if I overreacted in there."

"Thank you for your help. I’m glad you didn’t die."

"I need people who think they’re right when everyone else thinks they’re wrong."

"The world is counting on you."

"I’m not doing that."

"We don't. But I do."

"We don’t need a coupon. We’re the government."

"Why you saying 'Uh-oh'?"

"We're parents, (name)."

"I can't do this. I can't. I can't."

"Why on earth would you need that much (thing)?"

"For that, we need you, my friend."

"There are infinite possibilities for this to go wrong."

"Nothing about this is safe."

"First, I owe you three bottles of vodka."

"You deserve much more than this."

"Seems like something we should talk about."

"Well, I guess there’s egg on both our faces, huh, (name)?"

"We would need years for that, and we have months."

"I’m wrong about everything and everything’s wrong."

"You’re a long way from home. I'm a long way from home too."

"You scared me when you went (imitates screaming)"

"I don’t have one of these. I love it! Thank you."

"I still don’t think I can do it, though. Sorry. It’s just, uh if I’m wrong, I’m really wrong."

"You need to solve it. I need to solve it."

"If we’re gonna save our planets, we have to learn how to communicate."

"I’m really excited to be working with you on this. Fired up. Sorry I'm talking so much. It's just, I haven't been around someone in a long time.

"That’s really interesting. That sounds like something we can unpack that tomorrow."

"This is where the science happens."

"There’s no way you can hear me right now."

"The beach is always changing. You could go to the same spot every day, you’re always looking at a different beach."

"I miss the (thing). What about you, (name)? What do you miss most about home?"

"You don’t sing, huh?"

"You're very mysterious."

"You believe in God?"

"Just stop your crying; it'll be alright."

"I got to meet you. I got to do all this amazing stuff. I’m good. I’ve made peace with it."

"I didn’t mean any of that. That’s just something you say."

"Can you take a compliment please?"

"I’m not worried. Are you worried?"

"I don’t think there is gonna be a later."

"I’m not ready. I don’t have any training."

"I’m not heroic in any way. I cannot do this."

"No pressure but we did make a deal.*

"I understand the stakes. I do. But I don’t have it in me. My mind is made up."

"This may seem like me betraying you, but it’s actually me believing in you."

"Don’t make this harder, please."

"I can’t do both. I can go home or I can save (name)."
