* wanderlust.

you're good under pressure, right?

we were friends once, remember?

did you have fun last night?

you don't seem okay.

i've been fine without you.

remember to let yourself have some fun.

you need to let people in.

i didn't know who else to call.

taking it easy is kind of driving me nuts.

what happened last night? are you okay?

if you run, you will never stop.

don't go. i'll make up the couch.

i don't want anyone to see me like this.

you're tougher than you appear.

i know it's you. come out.

go ahead. be angry at me.

i never get tired of looking at the moon.

i really loved you a lot. i couldn't stand it.

you're getting kind of mean.

i thought i was your best friend.

i can tell you're lonely. even with me.

you've been gone quite a while. you scared a lot of people.

i'm more likable than you.

i'm working on my likability.

a 'good job' every now and then wouldn't hurt.

how long are we gonna sit by and keep watching this happen?

i looked for you.

wouldn't it be great to be twelve again?

how are you not angry all the time?

how'd you sleep?

what's your gut saying?

the list of douchebag men in my life is an extensive one.

i wasn't there. i'm not gonna let that happen again.

get up. hit me. come on.

i'm just glad you're okay.

i know you're scared, but we can work it out.

you can't just disappear like that, okay? i was worried.

i messed up. i made everything worse. i'm so stupid.

i'm not really sure we're friends right now.

you're not stupid. you're making stupid decisions.

i've thought about you a lot over the years.

i never thought i'd see you ever again.

i wouldn't have made it without you. not flirting.

this isn't your fault. this isn't anybody's fault.

i couldn't save them both.

there goes my modeling career.

i can't figure out if i'm mad or sad.

would you dance with me?

let people think what they want. let bad people be bad people.

so what if we get caught? who cares?

you've always been smarter than i am.

you're alive. that's what matters.

you don't believe me. i can tell.

do you think everyone is worthy of love? no matter what?

when people have nothing, hurt is all they have.

your father is nothing like you.

maybe you still stand a chance. maybe we both do.

why are your clothes so dirty?

it's not safe for you here anymore.

i have to go. it might be a while before we see each other again.

i know you haven't been sleeping.

i can never shake the feeling i'm not where i'm meant to be.

if i close my eyes tight enough, i can still see everything.

sometimes i come back and i'm sure you won't be here.

why do you like me?

are fish happy?

are you okay? do you need help?

don't you try to get rid of me. we're stuck with each other.

i miss you. i miss us.

i'll buy you a beer if you'll shut up.

why do you look sad all the time?

stop telling me everything is fine.

people like circles. closure.

you look like shit.

i still don't feel quite real.

you're a piece of shit, but you'll live.

may i kiss you good night?

i was so afraid to lose you that i got scared to love you.

you make me braver and better.

i need you to make sure i don't do anything too stupid.

you never seem to need me.

shitty things happen to good people for no reason.

have you decided to be nice to me again?

when you wake up, i'll be there.

you want to run away? after all we've been through?

you must have been a real romeo in school.

you broke all of our hearts.

you can touch me. it's okay.

do you love me?

fuck everyone but us.

would you come to my funeral?

what's the point of talking? what does that change?

do you still think about that night?

your choices have to mean something, even if they mean something terrible.

you've seen some shit, haven't you?

nobody feels sorry for you and nobody ever will.

try not to get stabbed.

i'll go, if that's what you really want.

you made a promise to always be honest with me.

if you weren't half dead, i would kick your ass.

was anything ever real with us?

say what you need to say.

why didn't you tell me it was that serious?

i only ever needed my friend.

i know things are weird, but i'm still around.

someone tried to kill you and you're the one apologizing?

i can't do this alone. i can't take another step.

you were talking in your sleep.

why don't we go for a long drive together?

it's not the most stylish, i know, but it will keep you warm.

i'm glad you choose to see me the way you do.

i'm not being cynical, just honest.

romance is a bitch.

you are so fucking cool.

you should really just let me go.

it's late. just sleep over.

i'm the lucky girl who pulled you out of the garbage.

your outfit kind of sucks, by the way.

convince me it's worth it.

i was starting to worry you might be in love with me.

i know you're scared, but i'm here to help you.

are you worried about me?

that's either very romantic or very sad.

it hurts, doesn't it? being in pain? being afraid?

i wish i knew you back then.

you said you loved me. that was a big deal.

please try. try and remember.

you should have let me die.

you're not married, are you? not that it's any of my business.

i just want to go back to before.

i was hoping i'd have an excuse to see you again.

look at me. i'm right here with you.

you were brave today.

try to stay calm.

i'll love you like crazy for my whole life.

i feel like i'm drowning.

with all due respect, please fuck off.

what is it? what's wrong? talk to me.

you're a good friend.

do you mind if i walk with you?

we can do memory lane another night.

i'm not trying to be an asshole. you know it's my natural state.

i'm glad you're back in my life.

“That I’m lucky to have such a good helper like you.”

“You know, given the state of everything, I’d prefer not to if that’s alright.”

“It’s gonna take some time to fix.”

“Just so you know, this was the best day of my life.”

“Sir, please don’t make me use force.”

“Oh, geez.”

“Oh. I think I know who you are.”

“Everyone knows who I am.”

“Do they know who they are?”

“They are the product of one of life’s tricky little choices.”

“I’m going to offer you a choice.”

“You are my world.”

“You should see it sometime.”

“Maybe you should do what you do best: run and hide.”

“How’s your nose?”

“Well, I can still smell, it’s just… Mostly blood.”

“Wonder why they’re here.”

“We’re brainstorming here - and there’s no bad ideas in a brainstorm.”

“I’m going with you.”

“What you’re doing is insane.”

“I’m not letting anyone else get hurt on my behalf.”

“Well, that didn’t work.”

“You have ambitions, don’t you?”

“I wanted it to happen, is that wrong?”

“Are you weak?”

“I don’t want to be.”

“You have anything else to say, in your defense?”

“I wanna thank you, for your guidance and for giving me a home.”

“I had no place in the world, so.”

“Do you know who did it?”

“Well, I narrowed it down to one of those assholes.”

“Does that count, should I shoot him?”

“Would you shut the fuck up?”

“Well, what makes you think I’d give a goddamn about that?”

“Now, what the fuck would you know about where I’m from?”

“But for me, well, I do this shit for the love of the game.”

“Well, you know what they say, us cowpokes, we take it as it comes.”

“You know, people joked about cockroaches surviving a nuclear blast.” 

“But, they didn’t merely survive. They improved.”

“You should know better than to light a fire after dark.”

“Listen, you need to go home.”

“You come from a world of rules, of laws. This place is indifferent to all of that.”

“I do not think you would be willing to do what it takes to survive.”

“If you insist on staying, then you will have to adapt.”

“Set us down.”

“I’m bored, and I want to shoot something.”

“Go see if the targets are in there.”

“Oh, fuck! Bear!”

“Holy shit! No, no, no, no.”

“Get this fucking thing off me.”

“This place fucking sucks.”

“They’ll kill you for this.”

“You’ve never been over that hill?”

“It’s too dangerous. People get killed there all the time.”

“This could all be yours!”

“You’re a good person for not shooting me with that gun.”

“I’m telling you, you’re gonna go through a whole lot worse if you stay around here. Trust me.”

“Really think you should go home. You are not safe here.”

“That’s what people keep telling me. No one understands my situation.”

“I think I know enough to tell you, you need to go home.”

“I told you to get the fuck outta here.”

“Change of plans, I guess.”

“But you don’t get shit if I kill him first.”

“Damn, y’all got me working up an appetite.” 

“I’m going to have to ask you to leave him alone.”

“Now, I admit, I’m unfamiliar with your circumstances.”

“Well, now, that is a very small drop, in a very, very large bucket of drugs.”

“Stand down or be cut down.”

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.”

“You keep moving things around without telling me.”

“I’m sorry for yelling, been shot in the leg.”

“Well, I guess basic training ain’t what it used to be.”

“You drive that thing like a fucking shopping cart.”

“I’m not going to make it.”

“You’re a good man.”

“Let’s pick this up after lunch, right?”

“You gonna save any grape taffy for the rest of us?”

“Tastes like someone touching you for the first time.”

“Uhm, that’s the worst thing I’ve ever put in my mouth.”

“I do not know what I have done to offend, but I beg for mercy.”

“I’m just not sure who I really am anymore.”

“I lack enthusiasm.”

“Well, I ain’t torturing you, sweetheart, I’m using you as bait.”

“You can’t treat people like this. Because of the golden rule ‘do unto others as you would have done unto you.’”

“Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time.”

“We can do to them what they would have done to us.”

“You saved me.”

“You saved me first.”

“Sir, please, I need water.”

“This thing really block radiation?”

“[name]... my name is [name.]”

“Hey! Fancy seeing you out here.”

“You out for that bounty too, huh?”

“You know… It’s hard out here.”

“You - you don’t happen to have any vials do you?”

“I’m sorry, [name.] I’m all out.”

“You might want to clear out, before things get ugly.”

“You’ve outlasted us all.”

“Say… Do you remember how good food used to taste?”

“Sometimes, a fella's gotta eat a fella.”

“Well, there’s what people say they did, and what they really did.”

“How do you live like this? Why keep going?”

“Well, one good question deserves another, why the fuck am I doing all the work?”

“You don’t like it when people get upset.”

“Just tread lightly, that’s all I ask.”

“How does that Golden Rule jibe with what’s going through your head right now?”

“What are you?”

“Oh, I’m you, sweetie. You just… give it a little time.”

“There you are, you little killer.”

“Now, that right there is the closest thing we’ve had to an honest exchange so far.”

“I just thought I’d stop by and see how you’re doing.”

“Not great, to be honest.”

“Those monsters took him away from me.”

“Ah, that won’t do at all. Let’s get you taken care of.”

“He did not treat me very courteously.”

“I’m simply going to harvest your organs.”

“Feel like getting out of the house?”

“Then why did you come?”

“This is so wrong.”

“Whatever happened here, happened a long time ago.”

“Looks like they strangled each other, with their hands.”

“Come on, I know there’s someone in there, talk to me.”

“Golden rule, motherfucker.”

“I thought I was dead meat.”

“Don’t leave me in here!”

“I kill you! I swear I’ll kill you.”

“Please, can you please let me out.”

“Believe me, I really want to trust you, but I’ve had a rough week.”

“Hey, you’ve got radiation sickness.”

“You can have it if you let me out.”

“I really want to believe you but practically every person I’ve met out here has tried to kill me, so.”

“Listen, hey, if you don’t get this medicine, you’re gonna pass out, okay? And if you lose consciousness, we’re both gonna die.”

“Trust me, please. Please.”

“I’ve seen these in old engineering manuals, but never in real life.”

“Look, you could have been lying about the medicine, and you weren’t. And you could have killed me when I collapsed back there, and… You didn’t.”

“I get that trust doesn’t come easy here, but you can trust me.”

“I’m from a place where the worst someone can do to you is forget to say thank you.”

“Sounds like a nice way to live.”

“I just feel that in times of crisis, you need someone with experience.”

“Hey, its your vote, no hard feelings.”

“Oh, who am I kidding.”

“Hey, can I ask you for a favor?”

“Okay, uh, I think we’re all feeling some tension. Yeah? A little stress? Uh, so why don’t we all take a deep breath?”

“What the fuck are you talking about?”

“We already said we don’t have any weapons.”

“You’ve been shot.”

“It’s just a scratch, happens all the time.”

“I hate it here.”

“If it’s not at all worrisome, then why are we whispering?”

“Well, if it makes you feel any better, it didn’t work out.”

“It’s the same thing that always happens. Everyone wants to save the world, they just disagree on how.” 

“I wonder if anyone survived.”

“This is more than just a graze.”

“We are the lucky ones, we are the light burning in the darkness.”

“Find anything interesting?

“It’s okay, we’ll be alright.”

“What is this place?”

“We’re in the best place in the world, we’re in a vault.”

“Oh, I’m, uh, very familiar with you guys.”

“Those design flaws of yours cost a lot of good men and women their lives.”

“Time is the ultimate weapon.”

“Oh, how ‘bout we clock out?”

“The things I’m willing to do for you, never cease to amaze me.”

“Not our usual scene, I’ll give you that.”

“I know you mentioned you’re eager to keep moving, but your friend is going to have to recover here for a couple of days before its safe to travel.”

“We can’t thank you enough for letting us in and taking care of us.”

“We shouldn’t be wasting time down here.”

“I think these people are trying to trap us here.”

“This is a cult. Same as any.”

“It’s not a cult.”

“Everyone’s smiling.”

“This is a safe place, where people take care of each other.”

“That was weird, right?”

“Doesn’t get any better than this.”

“You ever… think about working somewhere else?”

“You would look very good in a pair of overalls.”

“What’s gotten into you?”

“Oh come on, you’ve - you’ve seen these around.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“I’m doing what I can, okay? Just… Trust me. Please.”

“No, I have no fucking idea.”

“Come on, man, you sound like you’re in a cult.”

“That’s not really the question, is it?”

“I think that’s a relatively trivial concern, given the prerequisite conditions of us living in a nuclear fallout shelter.”

“That is a new rule. Someone decided that, and didn’t share it with fucking anyone.”

“I mean, what else do you have in store for us?”

“You don’t get it, that is the best we can possibly hope for.”

“I’m sorry. I know you always try to do the right thing, that’s what I love about you.”

“We don’t talk about that. Geez, what is the matter with you?”

“Some people who come here have a hard time adjusting to finally feeling safe.”

“All the things you’ve had to do to survive still fresh in your mind.”

“Trust doesn’t come easily to those of us with a guilty conscience.”

“I don’t know what keeps you going.”

“Mind your fucking mouth.”

“Now, that bitch is dangerous.”

“Well, when it comes to leadership these days, dangerous is what they call a prerequisite.”

“Somebody’s got to step up and bring some order around here.”

“Guilty as charged.”

“Oh, I must have killed nine or ten people.”

“This is about all the horseshit I can take.”

“I have my principles, [name], that’s all.”

“How do you know them?”

“A good bad guy doesn’t see themselves as the bad guy.”

“What is this?”

“At this point, it would be irrational of me not to acknowledge that these may be my last words.”

“Your ignorance cannot excuse your cruelty.”

“Are you done?”

“I’m gonna fucking die.”

“If you were a person, you wouldn’t have any friends, you realize that?”

“Okay, I got to reevaluate here.”

“Oh, you want this too, huh? Everybody wants this. Guess what? It’s mine.”

“You think everything’s for you. It’s pretty selfish, actually, you know that?”

“You’re a loose cannon, all right? This is a very important mission, and I can’t have you jeopardizing it.” 

“You can breathe in there, right?”

“It doesn’t matter where you come from or what you believe, you deserve safety… Unless you threaten that peace.”

“It’s almost there.”

“Need to get that sharpened, please.”

“You’re just… Letting me go?”

“I know that I’m not really in the position to be asking favors…”

“I can help people with this. You, for example, I want to help you.”

“I don’t have the best luck when it comes to strangers.”

“But I can honestly say, you’re the best stranger I’ve ever met.”

“There’s something I should tell you.”

“He was threatening me, so instead of helping him, I watched him die.”

“So all that stuff you were saying, you know, uhm, about me being a good person…”

“I just threw acid in an innocent man’s face.”

“Do you want to come live with me in my [vault]?”

“Remember, wherever you end up, that’s where you belong.”

“Ugh, more death, I wish it would end.”

“So, you’re just gonna forget about everything we’ve seen?”

“I feel like this is a good moment for a fresh start.”

“You’re a coward, you know that?”

“People just, uh, can’t be nice.”

“God, I suck without a scope.”

“Why am I not dead?”

“Well, I’m not just gonna leave it there.”

“They’ll kill me if they find out.”

“They’re never going to stop looking for it.”

“I’ll wait for you.”

“Sorry, sorry, that was weird. Sorry.”

“Find me.”

“The locals put up a fight, but so did we.”

“He’s dead.”

“I fear you lied then. Just as you lie now.”

“Don’t kill me and I can lead you to it.”

“I can help you.”

“My injury was my own doing, not theirs.”

“Such a display of loyalty, don’t see that much anymore.”

“They died running.”

“And yet power is taken, not given. A lesson you seemed to have learned.”

“Your entire life you’ve been looking for a home. Build one with me.”

“Well, thank you for the ride.”

“I’ve had a lot of time to think about this moment. You wouldn’t believe the things that went through my head.”

“Guess I was gonna, walk in here and blow everyone up.”

“But, it’s not really how I was raised.”

“He never told you where he’s really from, when he’s from.”

“I had no idea they’d blame you for it… I’m sorry.”

“I think you know.”

“[Name], they’re lying to you.”

“You can’t go home, [name]. Not with what you’ve learned.”

“So you’re just - you’re just gonna keep me here?”

“I did what was necessary to save our people.”

“You’ve seen what it’s like here. Everyone equally afraid, equally miserable. Forced to do horrible things to survive. I had to make a choice.”

“I believe, I know I made the right choice.”

“I’ll bet that outfit makes y’all feel like a big man, don’t it?”

“I wonder if they fixed that in this new model? I guess not.”

“Did you get them?”

“I can’t see shit.”

“You see what this place does to people?”

“You came all this way for me.”

“You’re not gonna hurt me.”

“War never changes.”

“You look out at this wasteland, looks like chaos. But, there’s always somebody behind the wheel, and that’s who I want to talk to.”

“Well, it’s easier to track a stuck pig than to ask where it’s off to.”

“Now, you can stay here with him... Or you can come meet your makers.”

“You comin?”

“Hey, get up…”

“I’ll find you.”

“Okey-dokey.”

i don't want to harm you.

why did you kiss me?

i try to be honest. i do. that is one of my good qualities.

it was my fault. why are you apologizing?

what makes you so sure i want to marry you?

aren't you afraid of me?

you are possibly the saddest person i've ever met.

i wish you would talk more about yourself.

stop asking me questions. kiss me again.

i'm not as brave as my mother.

you think i'm so dumb.

do you hate me?

i still think you're beautiful.

i don't know how to sleep.

i can't stand to watch you crying like that.

you're the first person i've ever really told.

people disappear all the time.

shall i compare thee to a summer's day? you're a bit sticky and only tolerable in small doses.

you know my name?

you are my oldest friend, but also my worst friend. but also my best friend.

i think i love you.

if there's one thing i've always admired about you, it's your poker face.

i can't begin to tell you how much i hate you.

i might have to dance with you again.

go easy, nightmare. go easy.

do you ever fucking stop talking?

i know guys like you. i'm friends with guys like you.

you're always so serious. you don't have to be.

i'm here. i came back.

love means never giving up on someone.

i have a great ass. everybody says so.

i'm not supposed to tell my name to strangers.

you really expected me just to give up on you?

i thought i loved you. i really thought i loved you.

i don't feel so good.

i've got some weed. you want to smoke?

it doesn't feel right here. i know this place.

more importantly, i just don't want to.

why are we always complaining? we get to be alive.

i can never read you.

i'm not going to make out with you.

it's gonna be sunset soon.

he wasn't all bad, my father.

staying alive isn't something you can just figure out as you go.

it's not like you, not to know what to do.

you should come over for dinner sometime.

if you hate it so much, why do you wear it?

i don't think this world is all that bad.

i was thinking how pretty you are.

why don't you come to my place?

i feel safe when i'm with you.

you can cling to me as much as you like.

i don't have a personality of my own.

don't you think you're overthinking things?

stop covering your ears, you chicken.

do you remember me?

i like to see you happy.

did your mother sew? did she teach you?

i never could protect you, not ever.

you're much cooler than my parents.

no one's mad. you're safe.

no one will hate you.

it's not a crime, not being able to save someone.

i'm staying in bed today.

you'll visit, won't you?

i can already tell what kind of a person you are.

make sure you memorize my number.

don't you think you should call your parents?

what does it matter what people think?

i only pretended to be brave.

fuck them. i'm not afraid.

it's good to finally talk about it.

i'm so sorry. i'm sorry for all that has happened to you.

you have no idea how much i love you.

isn't it terrible how life just keeps on?

i can feel you thinking.

i want you to be with me, but i want you to really be with me.

i worried about coming back, but i'm really finding myself here again.

better that it was me and not you.

do you miss me? even a little?

want some company?

you know i don't bullshit. not to anyone.

why does it matter what i think?

it hasn't hit me yet, i don't think.

come to bed. i'll even let you be little spoon.

do you think god is a horse girl, or a wolf girl?

don't you want to live somewhere else?

believe me. please. please believe me.

you have a trustworthy face, and i'm a bit drunk.

i didn't want to lose you, so i didn't tell you.

i love you. you don't have to say it back. i just want you to know how i feel.

i've been wanting to kiss you since i got here.

i don't have the energy to argue with you.

why am i still having these dreams?

you aren't as intimidating as i expected.

you compare yourself to others too much.

i feel safe, having you with me.

every little thing you do is an act of love.

i love you, but you're such a cunt.

jesus. why do you have a knife?

sometimes i can't tell if i'm asleep or awake.

i don't know what's wrong with me. i'm scared all the time.

you don't have to pretend to like something just because i made it.

your resting face frightens me.

i know what i saw.

i want to be with you, but i don't want to keep feeling like this.

you were supposed to protect me.

i have never felt so far away from you.

you can't rescue everyone, okay?

i'll figure it out. i always do.

you're the only one i can count on to tell me the truth.

you are smart and silly and amazing and curious, and i love you very, very much.

i'm sad. it sucks. what else is there to say?

i would have said yes to anything, to make the pain end.

i just want to burn it all down.

i've never been good at crying.

i'm sorry i didn't realize how unhappy you were.

your eyes are like cartoon saucers.

you beautiful, heartless bitch.

i'm asking you to trust me.

it would be funny, if there weren't so much blood everywhere.

i didn't want to die, but i didn't want to be there.

you've been very kind to me.

i doubt that my mother even likes me.

i am so glad you were with me.

i want to be able to protect myself.

you're too serious all the time.

you should have helped me.

i hope you are taking care of yourself.

i see you looking at me. i am not blind.

if it makes you sad, we don't have to go.

have you the strength to stand?

you are so young. you have so much time ahead of you.

i do not deserve friends like you.

everyone i care for, i hurt. every time i try to help, i make things worse.

i should have listened to you.

i promise i will make you proud.

you want some coffee, while you wait?

keep your damn shirt on.

i used up one of my nine lives today.

you were my best friend, once.

even a nice dog will bite when it's hurt.

look who the cat dragged in.

you're going to get hurt. you might even get yourself killed.

i don't want to lose you. i can't lose you, okay?

nothing's wrong. i'm just happy.

how can you ever love me after what i did?

DIALOGUE

this beach is so pretty!

wanna go for a swim?

wanna hunt for shells?

leave me alone, i'm sunbathing.

don't feed the seagulls!

ouch! ouch! hot sand, hot sand!

i think i'm melting.

you’re totally sunburned! you look like a lobster!

don’t touch me, i’m already sweaty.

it's too hot for that.

i wish this summer could last forever.

it's hot as hell.

someone please turn off the sun.

it's too hot for clothes.

let's build a sandcastle!

there's sand... everywhere.

the beach is the perfect place to watch the sunset.

don’t you dare say a word about my tan lines.

it’s nine in the morning, are you seriously already in swimming trunks?

no, box wine does not count as keeping yourself hydrated.

the water’s so cool! come on, just come in for a dip to cool yourself down.

look, i got us matching pool floaties!

the water is so warm, it's so nice.

do you want me to put sunscreen on your back?

that sunburn looks like it hurts.

i bet i can hold my breath longer than you.

i'm more of a sunbather than a swimmer.

i still think about the late-night talks we had during summer.

look, our swimsuits match!

i'm not ready for summer to be over.

will you be back next summer?

is that a new swimsuit?

i should’ve worn sunscreen.

i was going to go for a swim, if you wanna tag along.

i loved spending the summer with you.

quit splashing me!

i know it’s kinda dumb, but i found you a pretty shell.

she's gonna be fine, all right?

it's okay to be nervous. that's part of the fun.

surprise, bitches!

oh, my god! you fucking whore.

oh, my god. i'm so sorry. that was so rude of me.

what is that supposed to mean?

why are you guys being so weird? are you talking about me?

what are you doing with that champagne?

who wants to pop it?

careful with that pour. that shit's expensive.

is that all you got, motherfucker?

can we talk for a second?

she's actually really cute.

she's mine, hands off.

just be careful, okay?

what the fuck happened to your face?

can you turn that off? it's bumming me out.

do you want a drink?

you know that has weed in it, right?

i'm coked up, and i bit her.

you need to chill out.

i'm just really sweaty, and i need to hydrate myself. okay?

that's what makes it fun, [name].

oh, my god. you're being such a dick about [name].

are you mad at me?

fucking hit me.

if anyone deserves it, it's him.

you're a fucking dick.

you are such an asshole.

who's gonna hit me?

holy shit, i'm so fucked up.

guys, why isn't he moving?

baby, get up.

you're lying. your voice always goes really high when you lie.

why are you yelling?

that would be so fucking obvious if i were the killer, which i'm not.

i think you're digging yourself into a little hole here.

you're fucking with me.

i'm not fucking with you, [name]. i'm just having fun.

we're all just having a good time. right, guys?

is that why you guys never have sex?

are you fucking talking about us behind my back?

[name], that's really mean.

look, she's crying.

why is everybody looking at me like that?

are you fucking serious?

i'm fine. i'm 100% fine.

is that the lights? was that-- was that from the storm?

[name], are you fucking with us?

turn the lights back on.

i'm gonna fucking kill him.

this is real fucking cute.

i'm gonna go flip the breaker.

help! someone, help!

what the fuck happened?

check his pulse.

is he dying?

what the fuck happened to his neck?

i'm calling 911.

we should move his body.

no, you can't move him.

he's dead! we have to go!

he stopped breathing.

what the fuck are we supposed to do?

i found this. outside, in the mud.

i'm just saying, like, where the fuck is he?

what happened last night?

that literally doesn't fucking matter at all.

what are you trying to say?

what are you doing?

i'm staying safe.

really? you're grabbing a meat cleaver to go look for my boyfriend.

don't be such a bitch.

i'm literally just protecting myself, okay?

let me remind you, our friend is dead.

i'm not escalating. you're holding the knife and you're moving your hands while you talk.

i know that he's a good person, okay?

he wouldn't do this. like, no.

stop waving the knife at me.

don't grab my mouth.

get the fuck off.

don't grab me like that again.

and she came at me with a knife.

back off.

wait, where's [name]?

maybe [name] could have done it.

she was really pissed at [name].

she was devastated. she was having a full-on panic attack.

he's not here.

are there any guns in the house?

we have to find [name] before he does.

what's happening? it's so hot in here.

he looked like he was gonna do something fucked up.

where have you been?

why didn't you answer me?

is that a knife?

[name] is dead. his body is outside.

why did you kill [name]?

you murdered my boyfriend.

this isn't a joke.

[name] is dead. somebody slit his throat.

everyone needs to take a deep breath.

give me my knife back.

put down the weapons.

are you fucking serious right now?

what are you trying to do?

he's dead, okay?

he's dead. we killed him.

she killed him!

go change your shirt.

we need to leave. we need to get out of here.

where are you going?

i mean, it could have been any of us.

we all scattered when the lights went out.

he punched [name] in the face because of you.

just because [name] is in love with me doesn't mean he would kill [name].

what the fuck is wrong with you?

why are you being so mean?

i'm upset because somebody killed my best friend.

i can't believe you're making this about you.

i'm sad too, okay? i'm scared too.

you don't even fucking like him.

you're scared to do anything about it.

because you're a coward.

when you fell off the face of the earth, [name] was so relieved.

he was relieved he didn't have to deal with you anymore.

i wish they had chopped off your head, you spineless piece of shit.

that was real nice, [name].

i'm really sorry. i'm so fucked up right now.

isn't that what you wanted?

you always think everyone's in love with you.

are you happy that she's dead?

who was the killer?

please, stop talking. please.

why would somebody leave her there unless they wanted us to find her?

you discovered [name]'s body.

you could have tampered with the generator, just like [name]'s car.

we watched you kill someone.

you sick fuck.

do not touch her.

you know what? i don't want you in here.

you killed my fucking boyfriend.

it was self-defense.

stay here.

how the fuck did you get in here?

she has a gun.

you were the killer.

i don't have a fucking gun.

you killed him.

why would i kill [name]?

where were you when [name] died?

i saw you getting the gun.

you're lying through your fucking teeth.

i didn't want to disappoint you.

oh, my god. shut the fuck up, [name].

i just really wanted you to like me.

you've got to be fucking kidding me.

are you telling me that you believe that bullshit?

is that supposed to inspire confidence?

is that not a red fucking flag to anybody else?

fuck you. you deserve each other.

i hope she fucking suffocates you in your sleep.

you are obsessed with playing the victim.

i needed help and i got it. i'm sorry.

when things get tough, you run.

oh, fuck off and die.

she's trying to get in your head. don't listen to her.

you are devoid of empathy. you have no feelings.

you complain about how vapid and annoying she is. you hate her.

nobody likes you.

do you know when you're drunk and you cry to me, "i'm afraid nobody likes me because i'm mean and a bitch and i suck"? well, you do. okay? you fucking suck.

i only hang out with you out of pity and the suffocating weight of our shared history.

did you just fucking shoot me?

you fucking shot me! with a gun!

you fucking murdered them, you freak!

you're the murderer! i knew it! i knew it!

you're such a bitch! you're such a fucking bitch!

i didn't murder anybody.

put the gun down.

i've never been shot before. it really fucking hurts.

you did this. you made me do this.

why did you make me do that?

why? why did you shoot me?

get the fuck off me! get off!

i didn't do it.

please, don't move. don't you fucking move.

did you kill [name]?

i just wanted to touch you.

you frighten me.

i'm cooking breakfast. do you want some?

you gonna be okay on your own today?

don't let go, okay?

it's spooky out here.

come back when you're not so drunk and mean.

i don't think they like me.

is it alright if i come in?

everybody's got somebody.

i'm not mad. i don't know what i am.

was she nice? your mother?

you don't hate me?

you won't leave me, will you?

i never meant to put you in danger.

it's too dangerous. i could lose you, too.

where would you be, if there was nobody left?

i didn't realize you hated me so much.

i love you deeply, but you are so stupid.

i thought it would help. it didn't, much.

sometimes all you can do is keep breathing.

it doesn't hurt anymore.

i think i'm scared.

tell me. pretend i'm somebody who can take it.

you always told me to find my reason, didn't you?

were you at that party?

i just don't want to be in your way.

i always thought broken noses looked cooler.

you're going to be alright. you're going to make it.

you're not exactly final girl material, yourself.

i feel like i've missed a few years.

i'm seeing color again.

what i've done is unforgivable.

does it hurt?

this is where it started.

you can't kill a monster with love.

i didn't mean to do any of this to you.

you still remember. thank you.

thank you for being my friend.

i've never loved anyone like i loved you. but i didn't need to.

don't look at me like that. please.

everywhere's a big city when you're from here.

you aren't a bad person.

you didn't deserve this.

i'll never be a parent, i don't think.

you're bad luck.

it was good knowing you.

my mom is gonna kill me.

i can't just stay around here forever.

can we run away? far, far away?

i do miss you. as a friend.

i'm worried if i don't say it now, i'll never say it.

do you want some coffee? i made some.

i always felt really, really lonely here.

maybe my entire existence shouldn't just be a response to my shitty childhood.

did you mean it? was it real?

my first choice was running away.

did you miss me as much as i missed you?

you don't trust me anymore.

i was wrong about you.

i wish you were dead instead of ____.

if you were anybody else, i'd tell you to get lost.

why would you do something so stupid?

if you don't care, why are you so hot and bothered?

i'd rather not see you anymore.

you just need time to recover yourself.

are you in love with someone else?

you hurt me. you really hurt me.

i thought you were dead.

how pretty you look.

if not now, then when?

don't think it's easy for me.

i can't understand what happened to us.

i'm sorry. come back. let's talk.

i get the feeling you don't like me.

i'd forgotten how pretty you are.

you don't love me.

may i kiss you?

are you trying to hug me?

i guess i'm like a bad penny. always turning up.

we were never on the same page at the same time.

aren't you happy to see me?

didn't you try to forget me?

i did nothing but want you.

we were each other to each other. not everyone can say that.

listen to me. everything is going to be okay.

you're just going to leave me here?

i love you anyway.

this might sound crazy, but i missed you.

we don't know each other. not really.

i never wanted to miss this place.

i like being in small worlds with you.

is there an 'us' to talk about?

you can be as mad at me as you want, but i love you.

i'm glad you stayed. i was already missing you.

it took me forever to stop thinking about you.

people have short memories.

what do you see when you look around this room?

always so mysterious.

this is so much better than i ever could have guessed.

my life before this didn't matter at all.

you're seeing the surface because you're looking at the surface.

you are the largest pain in my ass to date.

you look like you've seen some things.

you think you've got me all figured out.

i'm sorry. it's just too easy to wind you up.

have you thought about it? what happens when we die?

i don't want to talk about life. i need to forget life.

what answer would make you happy?

i'm sorry you've been dealing with that all on your own.

i thought you might be a little cooler than you let on.

you always have been ungrateful.

it wasn't true. i was just drunk.

what are you thinking about?

i want you back the way you were before.

i've never seen you cry before.

don't you think it would be nice to have a little cat?

you could try to look a little friendlier.

how? where? when? do you have any hickeys?

be completely still. don't move.

i'm here with you. i'm protecting you.

i don't need a party. i already know everyone loves me.

don't let them see you cry.

don't turn around. don't look behind you.

i know we were pretending, but it felt real.

what am i supposed to do? move on?

it's time to be brave, remember?

how did you know i would be here?

you'd hate it if i died.

sorry you had to come and rescue me.

thank you for being my friend. even when i was terrible.

have you been in love before?

i would have loved you, anyway.

since when do you ever tell anyone how you really feel?

do you think i'd be a good parent?

my life changed when i met you.

if i tell you how i am, i'm going to cry.

fighting is so 2077!

before i met you, i’d go days without massacring a bunch of things. honest.

whoa, everybody stop! i got a splinter.

if you want to believe anything, believe this: i’m in your corner. always have been.

you know i do like long, lazy dull days, right?

you know, ammo isn’t cheap. can we just pay you to play dead?

tell your friends, you dead bastard!

we’ll be here all week.

the trick to this is don’t die!

you know, you’re really good at this. too good.

where does all of this dust even come from? the dust fairies?

we sure do a lot of that! winning, that is.

fighting again. great.

so, new business model. we team up with a mortuary.

you see where i’m going with this, right?

this will be our finest hour. tales shall be told of our fight versus the radroaches.

radroaches. ooh, scary.

insert something shakespearean involving death and your inevitable doom here.

the trick to staying hidden? not letting this happen.

this is the part where you’re supposed to die!

look at all the gizmos! that’s my term for them. patent pending.

at the end of the day, you need to make a choice. make the right one.

and here i was wanting to spend the day reading proust. then you had to go ahead and ruin it.

that’s a lot of ... whatever the hell that is.

gotta love snipers. i would know.

you’re lucky i didn’t do one of my face swaps. 

your wish is my ... strong recommendation.

we’re great. we’re fricking fantastic.

songs will be written about our sheer awesome-osity.

time to earn our paychecks! ... i am getting paid, right?

hey, chin up.. i know the night just got darker, but it won't last forever.

in the span of a few hours, my identity was ripped from me and my world turned upside-down.

no one in power should be comfortable for too long.

i'm scared that you'll hear the truth and i'll lose you as a friend.

i'll never understand such blatant disrespect for mother nature.

i shudder to think of what happened here. mankind can be so cruel.

i started out as nothing, and i've ended up as nothing.

another chance? i was a fool to give you as many chances as i have. not again.

all the good we've done: that's ours and ours alone.

you're as tough and determined as anyone i've ever met, maybe more.

you're the only friend i got.

you are my friend. maybe my only one.

when shit goes down, i'm with you to the end.

i like these people already.

i'm calling it right here. this world can officially bite my ass.

pest exterminator. i heard you had a feral problem.

i'm jangles the moon monkey.

your confidence is staggering.

too bad. i was hoping to get some beer money out of it.

sure, we'll just fight our way through an army of homicidal idiots.

the world may have ended, but why not sit at a desk all day?

your unconditional love is overwhelming. i think i need a moment.

i love work. i could sit and watch it all day.

you want me to take a knife FROM a gunfight? this is a new level of stupid. even for me.

i glued a bunch of parts together and hoped for the best.

you are bad for helping them. please stop.

i'll be here. just don't expect me to fend off a gang of super mutants while you're gone.

just as a warning, my covert bandaging skills are a little rusty.

hmmm. might need some antidote here.

yep. that's poison.

will the medical wonders of the post-apocalyptic world never cease?

it is my medical opinion that that could have gone better.

i could use a syringe of med-x or two... or eight.

fighting's not my strong suit, but i'll see what i can do.

it would be nice if things could stop tearing each other apart around here.

i thought my charm could win you over, but i guess it wasn't meant to be.

back in your good graces again? i knew you'd see the light.

look, i appreciate that you're trying to be friendly, but i'd just rather not discuss it.

i'll always feel like something is missing from my life.

not everyone dreams of being a revolutionary, i suppose. maybe we can't all change the world.

i hope you get everything that's coming to you.

all i know is that you are a bad person and i don't want to be around you anymore.

overt flirtation will get you everywhere, you know.

cuts, lacerations, broken bones. infections resulting from all of the above. common cold, influenza. take your pick.

there are plenty of ways to die out here, and most of them, surprisingly, don't have anything to do with war. just common human fragility.

no offense intended, but why should i go anywhere with you?

my job, as always, is to watch your back.

not that i don’t appreciate the irony of a reverse damsel-in-distress scenario...

whatever caused our fates to intertwine would never let them unravel.

in a hundred years, when i finally die, i only hope i go to hell so i can kill you all over again, you piece of shit.

do you like dancing?

i don't want to talk to anyone.

quiet works for me.

maybe i have to grow a thicker skin.

it's been a while since i lived with someone.

sometimes i don't sleep too well at night.

you're staying with me?

i don't think anyone should see us like this.

i was so scared and so weak.

could you tell me something nice?

i wanted you to think i was as tough as you are.

is there anyone you like, particularly?

you act strange around ____.

it's been a while since i kissed someone.

you didn't exactly miss anything.

i was just afraid to lose you.

don't go. come back to me.

i don't know how, but i could hear you.

stay here a little longer. just one night.

are you sure you want to leave?

i never saw any ghosts. only you.

my family thinks i'm crazy.

you've always been a little freak.

i just wanted to piss you off.

i don't know why i keep calling it an accident.

you've never been afraid of anything.

i don't love you anymore.

you've got on your 'tough guy' face.

i couldn't just leave you there.

i want to be alone.

i don't want to be beautiful. i want to be strong and razor-sharp.

don't play dumb. you were never stupid.

do you remember me? i remember you.

you didn't have to come.

it doesn't just go away, the grief.

i knew i liked you better than you liked me.

nobody feeds the ducks anymore.

you should get out. meet some new people.

you care too much about other people's problems.

you look tired. fed up.

i've kind of wanted to say something to you for a long time.

it's like you don't even care.

i just want to know you're okay.

why does everyone suck except for us?

i could fall in love with you all over again.

it's not your fault. it's okay, and i love you.

i deserve a good ending, i think.

it's you. it's always been you.

you're still a weirdo. you know that, don't you?

keep your eyes closed. you can't look.

if it's real to you, then it's real to me.

i'm not a hero. just a survivor.

i wish my mom were here.

you've been waiting all these years?

why do you care about me now?

i'm comfortable the way i am. i just need more time.

you're being so brave for me.

i knew you would come.

why aren't you married?

you'll never guess who's come to visit.

i feel removed from the entire world.

you can't choose cynicism over grief.

you look good.

do you like being back home?

you look just as tired as me.

i'm always thinking about you.

i didn't know you worried about me.

you were always my soft place to land.

i need you to see me.

i thought i was protecting you.

i do care about you. you're my best friend.

i can't imagine leaving without you.

you truly can be such a raincloud.

when i was young, i wanted nothing more than to get as far away from here as i could get.

aren't we friends anymore?

all right, kill me. do what you want.

swear you won't ever leave me alone.

why didn't you tell me you were back?

i didn't want you to see me.

you said goodbye to everyone but me.

i will always be your friend.

do you think i look like my father?

it sounds like someone's getting murdered in there.

people are going to stare. they always stare.

i have no one but myself to blame.

you look as bad as i feel.

why can't you look at me?

i wish it were easier to lie to you.

i don't regret anything. not a single second of my life.

you make people brave. you made me brave.

i need to be here tonight.

i still miss you, you know.

i can't ever say the right thing.

everything in my life reminds me of [name].

it's hard for you, socially, isn't it?

you forgive me, right?

you're not on your own. you have me.

i ask myself why you stay sometimes, too.

you're too good for me. i don't deserve you.

this is still your home, if you want to stay.

i cannot get the hang of living alone.

i love you. i would never, ever want to hurt you.

i let you go. it's what i had to do.

try not to make anyone else cry.

why did you say it was your fault?

people will look at you and wince. and then they'll get over it.

if i'm going to die, i'm going to die with you by my side.

i've done a lot of bad things, but i know god wouldn't let me die alone.

i would have done anything for you.

are you my guardian angel?

your hair is different than i remember.

you almost killed me. i appreciate that.

i know you're disappointed, but it's for the best.

i think it's the right time for a beer. don't you?

what is more radical than forgiveness?

are you sure you want to know?

you don't plan on coming back, do you?

don't feel sorry for me.

hell's better than this shithole.

all anyone ever wants is to be recognized and remembered.

life's a suicide mission.

if something's worth dying for, you've got a reason to live.

i'm proud of you. i just want you to know that.

i don't give a damn about saving anybody, even myself.

you're everything my mother would hate.

you know everything about everything, don't you?

the only ones not dying are the dead.

absolute honesty isn't always appreciated.

it's far better to be hated than ignored.

am i really so horrible that you don't recognize me?

didn't i tell you not to come?

please don't be angry. i couldn't take it if you were angry at me, too.

i warned you, didn't i?

you look like hell.

if you were in my situation, what would you do?

your timing could not be more perfect.

i don't look like the girl you knew, do i?

you can't blame a gay for trying.

you're not a bastard. you're just an asshole.

learn to stand on your own two feet and don't call me again.

can i come and stay with you for a while?

i believed everything you told me.

when we grow up, i want to marry you.

come here, and you'll find out if i have the guts.

i'm never going to fall in love with anyone.

i'm on my own side, and that's it.

to call you an animal is to insult animals.

is there something wrong with me?

i make people do the wrong thing.

what does love mean for our family?

even you don't understand me.

are you really different?

i never told you that i loved you.

you're lucky to be so loved.

i come here every day.

you don't need me anymore?

i don't need anything or anyone.

you're the luckiest thing that's ever happened to me.

what's going to happen to me?

did something upset you?

if it were up to me, i'd get married tomorrow.

are you trying to tease me?

i just like to hear you talk. i don't care what you say.

let's be young again. just for now.

you used to tell me everything. what are you keeping from me?

it isn't like i was keeping it a secret.

i'm working on seeming less bossy.

you are too old for this juvenile bullshit.

bring a first aid kit, just in case.

i know what you're thinking. i'm thinking it, too.

i won't tell you not to worry, but take care of yourself.

my life just isn't that interesting.

no shutting me out and trying to do everything yourself.

i'll never scare you like that again.

i feel badly about how we left things.

i thought we were open with each other.

stop talking. don't make it worse.

i love your sarcasm when it isn't pointed at me.

you can be honest without being cruel.

can you blame me?

i'd rather give you the benefit of the doubt.

a fucking break is what i want.

there are some things you can't say out loud.

i'm glad we tried.

anger feels so much better than grief.

i don't like remembering it.

it's okay if the answer is no.

god, we're a mess.

when did you wake up?

there's no harm in hoping.

how long will i feel this way?

you can squeeze my hand when it hurts too much.

you doubted me, didn't you? just a little.

i still have good days and bad.

i always know i'm safe with you.

i don't know why i didn't kiss you.

i really want to kiss you.

i got you into this mess, and i'm going to get you out.

no hard feelings. honestly.

i've thought about you all day.

you didn't say i couldn't have one.

eventually, you'll thank me.

can you remember my voice?

i worked hard to love you. to make you feel loved.

i hope you will find the shadows comforting, in the end.

i'm afraid i've become my mother.

stop wasting your energy on obsessive fantasy.

without affirmation, i'm afraid i'll disappear.

it's embarrassing how predictable i am.

i thought i had it all figured out, didn't i?

i could punch you in the fucking face.

now i know why you don't have any friends.

you can't live like this.

i'm discouraged. not depressed.

i'm happy you haven't given up.

i hate you for how deeply you know me.

i want to stay forever.

i always thought to love more than one person cheapened it.

i can't think of anything that sounds lonelier.

don't worry. it will never happen to you.

everything might not happen for a reason.

what's wrong with being just mediocre?

waiting for things is almost better than having it.

the solitude is weighing on me.

maybe it's a sign to turn back.

i want a cigarette. i need something to hold.

maybe they wouldn't miss me. maybe they wouldn't even notice.

when did we first meet?

i don't think i can remember a time when i didn't know you.

sometimes i think i dreamt the whole thing.

is there a story here?

we part ways after this.

i say what's expected and do my best not to fuck up the rest.

i can't talk to you right now.

i always cared for you. i don't know if you ever knew.

i think i fell in love with you and realized it was a lost cause all at the same time.

fuck jukeboxes.

you got a light?

i stopped fighting when it hurt too much.

i am nowhere you can find me.

i may be back late tonight.

you haven't kissed me goodbye for years.

all you need to do is relax and stop worrying.

it's alright. it's going to be alright.

you need help and so do i.

what else do you like to eat?

are you smiling?

you're breaking my heart.

we'll get back to normal eventually.

everything near me dies.

you must be lonely.

something else happened. you're sad.

i thought you were my one reasonable friend.

i still feel like a teenager.

sometimes you are just so unromantic.

it would make me feel better to have a drink. want one?

i don't think i could take any more personality.

don't let me drink alone.

in five years, you'll laugh about it.

it's almost like old times.

it's always 'later'. one day it's going to be too late.

pictures never look like the real person.

i can't tell you how empty the house feels.

have you been able to cry at all?

you shouldn't have come out alone.

i can kill them for you. it'll be alright.

you've killed me.

you destroy everything around you.

now i'm like you, too.

stop worrying. it's making me worry, too.

can you just come here please?

you hurt me. you made me feel like shit.

you made me feel like the most important thing in the world.

i didn't notice how much you were controlling me.

do you think i'm oversensitive?

you're never going to understand it, and i'd rather you didn't try.

stay sexy and don't get murdered.

i want to feel safe with you.

do you not feel safe?

i wouldn't have told you that if i wasn't high. i shouldn't have told you it. sorry.

i genuinely think i'd let you do whatever you wanted to do to me.

fucking isn't enough anymore. i need you to kill me.

i know you. i know how you are.

thank you for lying to be nice.

i want to keep you safe, but i don't know how.

do you think i'm a bad person?

i forgive you, if that matters.

hold my hand now. it'll be okay.

are you in love with him?

you mistake violence for tenderness.

you shouldn't make excuses for my bad behavior.

i just don't feel anything anymore.

will you let me hold you?

you don't answer my calls anymore.

be gentle, will you?

i do not recognize myself.

they say your heart is made of stone.

do you think this is a mistake?

i think you should say you changed your mind.

i wish i knew when i was going to die. then i could be ready for it.

can you stay in my room tonight? i don't want to be alone.

you can't shut everyone out. one day they won't bother.

i miss you all the time.

this is the most alone i've ever felt.

female comradeship is its own religion.

don't pull that sad, serious look you do.

i could like anything about you.

dialogue prompts from a variety of sources.

i did it just to see if i could.

everybody would watch, and nobody would do a thing about it.

you were the first person to help me in so long.

why do you talk like that?

you don't get to resent this life.

please eat some lunch.

the problem is that i love ____ at all.

i would do anything to leave.

i've been decaying for years.

i thought everyone was in pain.

i never knew what the cost would be until i paid it.

i've been repotted. i can't fit in the old container.

education is carceral.

what does everyone else want? for you, i mean.

i'm supposed to 'walk it off'.

i'd like to go somewhere new.

you're being a little bit evasive, i think.

i know you know what i'm asking.

i don't even believe it yet.

i'm angry, i'm bargaining, i'm depressed, but i'm definitely not accepting.

i've never stopped moving long enough to think about whether or not i'm happy.

this 'sitting still' business is killing me.

i never tell anybody the truth.

do you know a lot of other people here?

you might be the strongest person i've ever met.

do something useless, for once.

i wonder about everything. i don't know anything.

worldliness has its price: cynicism.

your people love to create suffering.

i know you'll never love me.

i can't be vertical.

find out what interests you. you've never had a chance.

'fair' only exists if you start in the same place, with the same tools and the same resources.

beginnings always feel best. they're pure potential.

sometimes i thought i made you up inside my head.

i was surprised you never wrote.

i've never been razzed this hard in my life.

i want it. your approval.

i'm never emotional.

i thought ____ was the lamb and i was the lion.

i'm not like most people.

it was wonderful to be with you.

i didn't think such places existed.

good for you.

i had a scary dream.

why are you crying?

it's getting the best of you.

i wept openly at ikea this weekend.

do you mind if i pray for your soul?

you need to come with me right now.

are you going to hurt us?

please. just tell me what you want.

can we talk about something else? or not talk?

i love you even though i hate you.

it could have poison in it.

your hand is shivering.

i'm happy i'm getting a chance to redeem myself.

so you do know all my secrets.

this is no place for a murder.

you can read my mind?

you don't take milk in your tea?

don't leave me. please. stay.

you're scary. i mean, you're scared.

mercury creeps me out.

i didn't just miss you. i needed you.

you don't look old enough to have kids.

can't i see your face?

don't cry over spilled milk.

i got you something special.

i was just thinking of you, and here you are.

don't ever follow me again.

a life lived in fear is a life half-lived.

what the hell, let's have a kid.

don't laugh when you make a problem.

your grief is the tiniest fraction of mine.

it's because i'm going to have a baby.

you taste different.

the devout ones are the scary ones.

whatever this is, it'll pass. i promise.

a plan is a plan. a plan is power.

i'm ready to explain why i've been the way i've been.

please go away.

a photograph is a fossil.

you screamed, 'the bugs are coming'.

can you sleep in my bed tonight?

i'm so scared tonight. i don't feel safe.

as if sleep isn't one sixteenth of death.

you're alive and well. i was beginning to wonder.

i knew you weren't paying attention.

it's always been rich and true between us.

i feel like shit.

i don't want to see anyone.

where did you hear that song?

i'm bad. i feel bad.

i'm scared to see myself in the mirror.

i'm destroyed. literally can't stand up.

there's no one to take care of anyone.

the scariest dream of all is the one that takes place in the room where you're sleeping.

whenever i'm with you, i'm grieving you.

dialogue prompts from a variety of sources.

you know how to love me the best.

i need to love someone who won't disintegrate.

why didn't you come back sooner?

extraordinary things happen everywhere, all the time.

maybe if i try hard enough, i can be everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

i know you think you're alone. that your grief is only your own.

you have no heart.

i need you to come back. i want you here.

god chooses who he cares for, and he didn't choose us.

god has too many rules, anyway. do you really want to follow so many rules?

i don't think we're ever too old for dancing.

i'll keep your secret for a week.

you have your anger, and i have mine.

i'm worried that i bore you.

i can't stay here by myself.

write yourself a new role.

i remember what loving you felt like.

i stopped missing you a while ago.

i was afraid of my loneliness.

i had two emotions: fear and anger.

it really doesn't matter if i love you or not.

what if love doesn't make you feel better?

i want to help you. like you helped me.

i would excel in a zombie apocalypse.

i hate talking to people i don't know.

just the person i wanted. it's like i summoned you.

maybe it's okay that we taste bitter to each other.

i thought this place was invincible.

let's get you some clothes.

i wanted tonight to be special.

if you love someone, you shouldn't want to change them.

it's good you're leaving. you're bigger than all of this. bigger than us.

i'll be okay? you promise?

how do you find these places?

even i am capable of getting over things.

thinking tires me out.

art has no answer, no right way to be.

what's more human than wanting to kiss someone?

isn't that what couples do, tell each other things? secrets?

why is it sometimes people don't do what they want to do?

you can tell me. i won't be mad.

i don't have the energy to be annoyed.

are you embarrassed of me?

how do you make sure people don't stop liking you?

i wish i smoked. i'd have something to do besides pace.

what is it you're so afraid to tell me?

it's hard to focus on one feeling.

i won't abandon you again.

when people don't understand you, you can say anything you want.

may i touch you?

there are no monsters in these shadows. only me.

the pills make me care less.

no more running away.

you don't have to worry anymore.

you're a thousand miles away. what is it?

i've watched you for so long.

you're so soft and gentle. like a delicate flower.

i want to cast my mantle of protection over you.

i don't take admiration very well.

if you're nice to me, i'll probably make you unhappy.

i'm only nice to people who are mostly mean to me.

you're not like me. no one is like me.

you're a misfit. so am i. we don't belong anywhere.

i want you out of here by the end of the month.

you're the cruelest person i've ever known.

sometimes i just want to tear you apart.

there are no pure people.

when i touch you, i don't feel you at all.

you're always talking at me. you don't listen to what i say.

i've never met anyone i felt this way about. i love you.

are you a liar? do you lie often?

do you say things like that because you think i like to hear them?

it's not real. it's puppy love.

i heard you were sick. i thought i'd come see how you were doing.

you want to suck people dry, you expect them to pour out their guts to you and you to them over and over and over until you know everything, and it just doesn’t work that way.

relationships are built from 'hi, how are you doing?' and 'i'm fine'."

it's not an insult, but it's not a compliment either.

you seem like someone who is at home in the world.

i'm as all right as i ever am.

i've thought about you a lot. i really wanted to see you.

everybody has their sadness, and most people are scared of it.

i want to be friends. i mean, if you're okay with that.

it's nothing. it happens.

when i'm doing nothing, i get this feeling like i'm fighting something.

aren't you going to ask me why i did it?

i almost never feel like everything's okay.

part of me doesn't feel like anything is wrong or okay. just normal.

it's really personal. i don't know if i can explain it.

hurting and crying are different things.

i'm totally normal. don't look at me like that.

i wonder if anyone can ever actually stop thinking.

sometimes you can't see the scars, but there's a lot of pain.

i can't express how safe it felt never being seen.

i'd be lying if i said i felt any better.

we shouldn't talk about this. i haven't seen you in so long.

it wasn't supposed to be like this.

hey, do you think there's a god?

the first time i saw you, i just knew. we're the same. we had to be friends.

you understand the way i feel better than anyone else.

if you're always in pain, you know exactly what it means to hurt somebody else.

i know there's so much pain in this, but we have to keep going.

a time will come, i'm sure of it, when everything will be alright.

you're so nice. when i think about it, it almost hurts.

i'm not crying. i mean, i am, but not because i'm sad.

they all matter to me, but you matter the most.

i always laugh when i get scared.

i thought you weren't coming.

if you never get close to anyone, you can't lose them.

we can be alone together.

i'm here to keep you company.

i thought about calling so many times.

messages of love always make their way through.

there's nothing like being in love, even if it doesn't last as long as you want it to.

i guess i've learned to shut my feelings off.

you never cry? not even in sad movies?

just because you don't feel your feelings doesn't mean they don't exist.

i always wanted a sister.

participating in the world is overwhelming sometimes.

i need someone to keep me accountable.

can i touch you?

pity doesn't take away the pain.

i'm so happy to see a friendly face.

you're a total catch. you know that, right?

anybody who says they understand love is lying or in denial.

what's the secret to taking a good photo of someone?

i'm sorry for not telling you the truth sooner.

you're the most interesting thing that's happened to me in years.

i guess i've just always preferred my own company.

it's hard to miss something you never really had.

i've never seen you at a loss for words.

how lucky i am to have you.

independence is worth a little discomfort.

you'll never find the right thing to say, because the right thing doesn't exist.

it's easy to glamorize the path you didn't take.

i love how your moral compass never wavers, even when i try to corrupt it.

i wish i could be as decent as you are all the time.

i'm probably allergic to about 70% of nature.

i hated feeling like i needed you.

you don't realize how bossy you can be.

tell me the truth. you're the only one who ever does.

some people find it creepy how much i remember about them.

maybe the biggest risk in life is taking no risks at all.

the secret to a beautiful death is living a beautiful life.

it's perfect weather for sweaters.

isn't it beautiful this time of year?

crunch, crunch, crunch-

care to go for a walk?

let's go to the farmer's market.

can you smell the season changing?

it's never too early to decorate for halloween.

so, care to explain the skeleton in the lawn chair?

i've become one with the leaf pile.

i just raked that.

i hate this time of year.

i love this time of year.

the leaves are so pretty this year.

want to go to the orchard with me?

what a waste of a good pumpkin.

this is the weirdest looking squash i've ever seen.

i made pumpkin cookies! want to try one?

did you cut yourself carving the pumpkin? let me see it. 

let’s carve pumpkins.

hurry up, we’re going to be late for the party.

bring a jacket.

do we really need to go to a pumpkin patch? can’t we just buy one at the store?

let’s go pick pumpkins.

it’s chilly out here, you need a coat. take mine.

wanna go out for halloween?

looks like it’s time to rake the leaves.

let’s go jump in the leaves.

please, enough with the pumpkin spice.

i don't get scared. i’m practically fearless.

are you going to hide in my shoulder the whole time? or actually watch the movie?

i’m not going in a graveyard. 

what are you going as for halloween this year?

please, please, PLEASE no scary movie marathon.

do you think stuff really happens on halloween? like... supernatural stuff.

you’re not going to make me carve this pumpkin all by myself, are you?

s-scared? me? i’m not... scared.

can you help me rake? i’ll let you jump in the leaf pile.

i don’t usually do anything for halloween.

let’s go for a walk. the trees are beautiful.

i love the smell of autumn.

ooh, a pumpkin patch! we have to stop.

i hate haunted houses. why would i pay for someone to scream at me?

i’m making some cocoa. do you want some?

don’t tell me you’ve never had a candy apple.

i’m in a baking mood. i hope you like apple pie.

i don't really like candy corn.

do you want to watch a scary movie tonight?

my hands are so cold.

can i borrow your hoodie?

i know a way to warm you up.

apple cider is the best. period.

quit fighting me.

i can handle you.

you really think you could hide from me?

that's my spot. get out of there.

i knew i heard you.

well, well. look what we got here.

it's time to slaughter this little calf.

you ain't getting out of here.

this blade cuts good.

i know [name] thinks i'm the best.

come on out, little piggy.

you can't hide from me.

i know all the good hiding places.

hey, come on. i was just playing.

where'd you go?

oh, this is gonna be fun. lots of fun.

get off my back.

you ain't so tough.

i don't get out much like you.

ain't had this much fun in a long time.

i prefer a more hands-on approach.

where'd you get that pretty dress from?

look at all this blood.

go ahead and run. that's the fun part.

there's no way out.

got yourself in some trouble, didn't you?

that sounded like it hurt.

poor piggy got caught up in a trap.

[name] is gonna love you.

you're really starting to piss me off, you know that?

can't promise i'll make this quick.

oh, i'm gonna enjoy this.

yeah, that's it. hit me.

you should know better than that.

stop barking orders at me.

this is getting out of hand.

just get out of my way.

are you gonna help me out, or just stand there looking pretty?

are you even listening to me?

what's going on in that head of yours?

you ever watch someone die?

hey, you okay?

you seem to have lost a bit of blood.

you kind of remind me of your little friend.

you ready to meet the bad man?

always so careless.

that's it, die for me.

i guess i'll just have to put you out of your misery.

i can handle myself.

i am sorry it had to come to this. i really am.

don't fight me. do not fight me.

not today, sunshine.

i'm sorry i left you all those years.

i know i'm your favourite.

there's no hiding from reality.

i guess i can't save you after all.

how does that feel?

aw, sugar. does that hurt?

oh, you poor little thing.

i like that.

you've been chosen.

i can't let you go.

death doesn't have to be the end, you know.

just trust me.

you having fun yet?

come out, come out, whoever you are.

look at all of this pretty.

it looks like somebody ain't doing so well.

hey there, sugar.

you know, we could have been friends in a different life.

just give in, sweetie.

i can help you.

you look like you could use some help.

poor thing. i can help you, you know.

you're never gonna survive being that careless.

some people just can't be saved.

there's nothing out there for you.

you don't want to end up on my bad side.

this is why i'm always leaving.

you are a crazy son of a bitch.

i told you to stay out of my flowers.

i got this under control.

don't you call me crazy.

don't be nervous.

get off me.

quit your squirming.

i don't much enjoy being violent, but i got no choice here.

i'm not a violent man.

i'm sorry about your friend.

this is your own fault.

see what happens when you don't listen?

you little shit.

don't you touch me.

you're gonna pay dearly for this.

i always did like you.

next time i'll cook you a nice proper meal.

it didn't have to be this way, you know.

this is getting old real fast.

nobody ever said life is fair.

you ever hear the saying, murder starts in the heart?

you are a damn fool.

things were better off when you was gone.

oh, my, somebody's hurting real bad.

poor thing.

no use in struggling.

oh, sweetie, no.

i'm sorry i couldn't help you.

i'm tougher than i look.

oh, god, is this human?

this should help stop the bleeding.

i'm ending this.

what did they do to you?

i'm so sorry.

i'll find help. i will.

i love you so much.

i'll come back for you. i promise.

who did this?

we've got to get out of here.

what did those sick bastards do to you?

i promise i'll kill them for this.

this is so horrible.

those monsters killed her.

we never should have come here.

those assholes are going to pay for this.

i'm going to get them for this. every last one of them.

i'm so sorry this happened to you.
