đđđ. đđ: đđđ đđ đđđ đđđđđđ
â what are you doing out here? â
â if you fall, you'll almost definitely die. â
â i'm not sure what's the best way to put this... but i think you probably shouldn't. don't you? â
â i was out here first, you know. â
â what'd you think of my joke? â
â i may not succeed in stopping you, but it would still give me the experience of trying. â
â will dying make you happy? â
â do you think you'll go to heaven when you die? â
â if leaving you alone would make you happy, then i'd gladly do it, but... â
â you thought i was feeling bad for you, didn't you? â
â you're a good kid, aren't you? â
â i'm just a smidge immortal. â
â i wasn't trying to eavesdrop. â
â i sense a new business opportunity here. â

â because it'll make me happy. â
â people do call me crazy quite a lot. â
â if lunacy is your philosophy, that's terrific. â
â earth is so incredible. i think we're lucky just to be living on it. â
â i want to know whether _____ can be happy. â
â if you just decide to have fun for now, i think the sadness will probably go away. so come on and smile! â
â are you worried about something? â
â if you don't know what to do, then smile! â
â smiles are magic, you know. â
â all you have to do is sell your soul. â
â you okay? that was a close one, huh? â
â you don't get to decide whether you're worth it. â
â you're, uh â what's the best way to put this? you're a good guy. â
â i can always tell when people are faking their smiles. â
â you're a good guy. i just wanted to let you know. â
â are you satisfied now? â
â it's scary what can happen by coincidence, but it's fun in its own way. â
â maybe i'll have found a way to get rid of your pain by then, and the wounds of the people you hurt may have healed. â
â that was lucky, huh? they let us go without a scratch. â
â now that your revenge is complete, do you think you'll be able to smile sincerely?â
â revenge isn't something you do for the person who died, you know. you do it to resolve whatever's in your own heart that isn't satisfied so that you can move forward. so that you can live. â
â you have the right to be happy now. â
â i don't know whether what you did was right or wrong, and i don't actually care. â
â are you wondering whether you should atone for your crimes? â
â if you regret it, just think of a way to start over. â
â there's absolutely no reason to give up. â
â i will never deny your right to be happy, even if the rest of the world does. â
â my friend always says people should be way more afraid of me with good intentions than of god with bad intentions! â
â you don't have to stop crying, but for now, smile! go on and smile! â
đđđ. đđ: đđđđđđđđđđ
â that's right, i haven't introduced myself yet. of course you're suspicious. â
â so, what do you want to do now? â
â i'd like to start by asking why you look so sad, but i won't force you to talk about it if you don't want to. â
â i just thought i might be able to help you out with whatever it is that you want to do next. â
â you want to see this person, don't you? â
â will that satisfy you enough to let you smile? â
â maybe you're thinking 'nobody asked you' or 'this has nothing to do with you.' â
â it's kind of an important issue. it's going to affect how enthusiastic i am about this. â
â aw, i've been rejected! will you comfort me? â
â i'm sorry if i upset you. â
â i don't know anything about romance. â
â if it made you feel better and smile, i'd let you punch me or stab me as much as you wanted. â
â don't you worry. in fact, i'm glad you weren't serious. â
â i think someone like me probably shouldn't get married. â
â so who is this person you've fallen for? â
â if there's anything i can do to help you, i'll do it. â
â hello there. another terrific smile today. â
â oh good! because of you, i get to live longer. thank you! â
â i thought we had plenty of trouble already, but i suppose it wasn't as bad as it could get! â
â let's smile a lot before everything gets worse! â
â i think you just said something rude about me, but i've probably insulted you, too, so i'm sorry. â
â if you said that getting revenge would make you smile, i'd gladly help you. no matter what you're trying to do. â
â my goal is to make everybody on the planet smile. â
â if there's a road to travel on, i'll be able to get there someday. â
â i'd like to figure out a way to live a long time. â
â wait! i'll go, too! let me come! â
â i'm sure _____'s all right. i don't think they'd be happy to see you so sad, you know? you should smile. c'mon, smile, smile. â
â it really does bring back memories, doesn't it? â
â faking a smile when nobody's around is kind of odd. â
â did you bring back anything for me? â
â i saw a hint of a real smile, although i don't know why it was there. â
â would saving ______ make you happy? â
â if you get to see ______ again, will you smile? â
â if you tell me that, you know i can't turn you down, right? â
â well, i'm off. i hope we get to meet at least once more while we're still alive. â
â i hate long goodbyes. it's hard to smile when everyone acts so gloomy. â
â i'll never forget ______ as long as i live. â
â you don't have to repay me. just do what you can to help people smile. â
â you had better keep that promise you made me. â
â see you later, then. â
