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