from the show! part one/episode one!
some lines have been a little altered to make them fit in a broader sense!
โ There are stories out there that need to be told. โ
โ Honesty is not a tactic. โ
โ I wasnโt sure you remembered me. โ
โ I have to be very careful whom I let in.ย โ
โ Yeah, well, things didnโt end well the last time. So forgive me if Iโm a little nervous. โ
โ I was, admittedly, a rougher thing then. โ
โ I apologize. I apologize. I apologize. I was only tryna show you my love. โ
โ Hell, I mighta even said yes if you wouldโve just asked. โ
โ Oh, forgive me. Iโฆ It wasโฆ Thereโs so much wine. โ
โ Iโm havinโ a fuckinโ night, okay?! โ
โ A month from my wedding day, and what do I dream about? โ
โ Point of fact, I love them more than anyone on earth. โ
โ You know, you can always come here if youโre in need. โ
โ I donโt know much about what youโre saying. But it sure sounds nice.โ
โ Howโd you manage to get yourself through the front door? โ
โ I owe you everything. Please, join us. โ
โ My body was seized with weakness. Their gaze tied a string around my lungs, and I found myself immobilized.ย โ
โ I had planned to make a new life for myself in (place). That was to be my destiny. And now I know I was right. โ
โ Youโre their destiny, (name). โ
โ Emasculation and admiration in equal measure. I wanted to murder the man, and I wanted to be the man. โ
โ I had come there for (name), but I left thinking of only them. โ
โ These men look down on you. โ
โ Ten percent. Fifteen percent. Do you not know your value? โ
โ Do you suffer these indignities for some larger purpose? โ
โ I believe there is great opportunity in this city, but to seize it, Iโll need protection from the wolves. โ
โ It was a cold winter that year, and (name) was my coal fire. โ
โ And I found myself for the very first time, to anyone other than (name), confiding my struggles in another. โ
โ I was being hunted. And I was completely unaware it was happening. โ
โ And what exactly is the nature of your relationship? โ
โ Itโs the humidity. It does that sometimes. โ
โ You sayinโ I have shame? โ
โ You donโt need to defend yourself from me, (name). โ
โ Do you remember the best you ever had? โ
โ I had never allowed myself to feel emotionally close to anyone. โ
โ I shut that night out of my mind and turned my attentions back to life as it was before. โ
โ Quit talkinโ. I have to concentrate. โ
โ Youโve been avoiding me. โ
โ And rather than fix it like I should I run like a coward. โ
โ Do you think God heard you, (name)? โ
โ Iโm not the devil, you were wrong about that. But I can give you death. โ
โ It has shackled you in permanent exile. โ
โ Every room you enter, every hat you are forced to wear, all these roles you conform to and none of them your true nature. โ
โ What rage you must feel as you choke on your sorrow. โ
โย The first time I laid eyes on you, your beautiful face, I saw that sorrow. โ
โย The first time I laid eyes on you, your beautiful face, I saw that sorrow. I did not know how it got there or why it was so voluminous. I can take away that sorrow, (name). โ
โ I can give you that death you begged your feeble, blind, degenerate, nonexistent god for. โ
โย I can give you that death you begged your feeble, blind, degenerate, nonexistent god for. But I can do itโฆ joyfully. โ
โ I can swap this life of shame, swap it out for a dark gift and a power you canโt begin to imagine. โ
โ You just have to ask me for it. โ
โ You just have to nod your beautiful head.. and say yes. โ
โ I love you, (name). You are loved. โ
โ I send my love to you, and you send it back round to me. And this circle, this home weโve barely begin to have a glimpse ofโฆ know it frightens me as much as it does you. โ
โ It is difficult to explain how their words disarmed me, how efficiently succinct and impenetrable his argument was. โ
โ All my conceptions, even my guilt and my wish to die seemed utterly unimportant, and I completely forgot myself and the barbaric scene that surrounded me. โ
โ For the first time in my life I was seen. โ
โ Be all the beautiful things you are, and be them without apology. โ
โ The blood, it came as a dull roar at first. And then a pounding, like the pounding of a drum, growing louder and louder.ย โ
โ I opened my eyes, and it was then that I realized the drum was my heart, and the other drum had been theirs. โ
โ I saw them sitting a length away from me. Radiant. And we sat there for some time. In throes of increasing wonder. โ
