โ the invisible man (2020) ; sentence starters.
โ __, i'm sorry. i can't take you with me. โ
โ __, where are you? โ
โ __, what is going on? are you okay? โ
โ open the fucking door, __! open the door! โ
โ you can't do this! get back here! โ
โ how long have you been up? โ
โ now, you know if you close your eyes and you lie down, that usually helps. โ
โ don't think being tired gets you out of our little deal now. โ
โ he's not out there. i promise. โ
โ i'm sorry, i just... i'm not ready yet. โ
โ i can't work this goddamn thing. โ
โ do i know you? do i owe you money? โ
โ what are you doing here, __? โ
โ well, it's nice to see you too, __. โ
โ this is not fair. โ
โ i asked you not to come over. โ
โ okay, i have a plan, and i just... i need you to go along with it and just not be in control for one second. โ
โ i'm not trying to control you, boo. โ
โ i'm desperately trying to tell you that you don't need to cut me off anymore. โ
โ what did he do to you? can you talk to me? โ
โ it just doesn't make any sense. โ
โ you're here with us now. and you're safe. โ
โ i'm not telling you to aim low. i'm just saying, explore more than one option, okay? โ
โ i think it's important to have goals, __. โ
โ no one knows i'm here. โ
โ no, no. sorry. you're not allowed to do that. โ
โ i'm just trying to do my job. โ
โ if there was a chance of physically being close to him, we would not be here for any amount of money. โ
โ i know i didn't hear you just say that. โ
โ come on, are you sure you can do that? โ
โ i'm an innocent man trying to do right. โ
โ you think we can salvage it? โ
โ __ will haunt you if you let him. don't let him. โ
โ that was the best time of my life, for sure. โ
โ let me see some of your work. โ
โ tell him to stop what he's doing. โ
โ he's not dead, __. โ
โ something tells me you know exactly what i'm talking about. โ
โ he came up with the perfect way to torture you even in death. โ
โ i was relieved... when i heard that he was dead. โ
โ listen to me. don't let him win by bringing him back to life. โ
โ __, i need to talk to you. โ
โ well, at least we have clarity. now i know what you really think of me. โ
โ thank you so much for carving out the time to let me know howโquote, unquoteโ"suffocating" i am to you. โ
โ not that i should have to say this, but i never expected any of that money. โ
โ __, i-i don't... i don't know what you're talking about. โ
โ if that's how you feel about me, don't ask me to bail you out of your personal life anymore. โ
โ if you're too stupid to know who the good guys are and too weak to get away from the bad ones, don't sob to me for charity. โ
โ someone is doing this to me. โ
โ you are suffocating to me. โ
โ i don't want to see you anymore. i don't want to know you anymore. โ
โ sometimes i wish you had died instead. โ
โ __, i would never. i'm sorry. โ
โ you need to calm down. โ
โ you don't need to be here right now. โ
โ where are you? come on out. โ
โ so, why me, __? you could have any woman you wanted. โ
โ that's what money and power buy you. people. โ
โ can't you just forget i ever existed? โ
โ there's nothing left for you to take. you've already taken it all. โ
โ do you think you could wait for me? โ
โ i don't think i have much time left. โ
โ thank you for being here. i love you. โ
โ you're like a cop, __, and you have this brute-force strength that is so, so comforting when i'm in trouble, and it is really intimidating when i'm not. โ
โ i need that strength in my life right now. โ
โ and i need you to believe what i'm about to tell you. โ
โ i found something that can prove what i'm experiencing. โ
โ you have to listen to me! โ
โ i have something that will prove he's alive. โ
โ tell me you don't think i did this. tell me you know that. โ
โ i shouldn't have walked out on you and left you alone. i failed you. โ
โ no, that can't be right. that... that's not true. โ
โ it's upsetting to see you in this condition. โ
โ i used to feel sorry for you. โ
โ but now... i can see you for what you really are. โ
โ you're just the jellyfish version of him. everything but the spine. โ
โ or there's one option, where this all goes away... โ
โ you should have known he'd find out. you knew him as well as i did. โ
โ he was always going to find you no matter what he had to do. โ
โ he needs you, because you don't need him. no one's ever left him. โ
โ it's time to stop playing games. โ
โ __, you don't really have a choice right now. โ
โ right now, you're a murderer. โ
โ but i can change that. โ
โ i don't expect you to make a decision right now. โ
โ you think you're learning how to beat me, so i'm gonna truly teach you something. โ
โ if you fight me, i won't hurt you. i'll find someone you love and hurt them instead. โ
โ __, don't do anything stupid. โ
โ it doesn't matter about that. you have to listen to me. โ
โ okay, listen, i need you to keep that to yourself and let me do my job. โ
โ just let me help you. โ
โ yeah, but as long as __'s around, you can't help me. โ
โ well... you look amazing. i mean, you-you've always... you always look amazing. โ
โ i don't feel amazing. it's all a lie. โ
โ so, i wanted to get us some simple takeout, but, of course, i started obsessing over what you'd be in the mood for. โ
โ my hand's shaking... you know, you're the only person in the world who gets to see my hand shake. โ
โ it's 'cause i need you, __. โ
โ i know i didn't treat you the way you should have been treated when we were together. but i've learned my lesson. โ
โ i would burn everything i own just to prove that to you. โ
โ i need you to admit everything that you did. โ
โ i need to know that i'm not crazy, okay? โ
โ and we can't start this with a lie. โ
โ but i'm not starting with a lie. โ
โ it wasn't me. i swear it. โ
โ why can't you just tell me the truth? โ
โ i need you to do this for me. more than that, do it for you, __. โ
โ i am telling you the truth. โ
โ i know that you feel like you're going insane sometimes. but i'm the only one who can help you. โ
โ what'd it sound like to you? โ
