Under the Water

“Merry crisis.”

“I can’t swim.”

“I smell like beef.“

“That was legitness.“

“Come get y’all juice.“

“Chipotle is my liiiiiife.”

“He needs some milk!“

“What are thooooose?”

“Hi, welcome to Chili’s.”

“What the FUCK is up??”

“(Name), is that a WEED?”

“That’s why you’re my bud.”

“It’s a avocadooo… thanks.”

“Look at all those chickens!“

“And they were roommates!”

“I wanna be a cowboy, baby!”

“Bitch, I hope the fuck you do.“

“I brought you Myrrh… Mur-dur!“

“’Pretty cute’? I’m a GODDESS.”

“I’m a bad bitch, you can’t kill me!”

“Oh my god, they were roommates!”

“How much did you pay for that taco?“

“Lipstick? In my Valentino white bag?!“

“You try’na fight? Hold my breadsticks!”

“A mug shot? I don’t even drink coffee.“

“Stoooop! I coulda dropped my croissant!”

“Who opened that? Devil car! DEVIL CAR!”

“What’s better than this? Guys bein dudes.“

“Girl, you’re thicker than a bowl of oatmeal!“

“I burnt my entire house to the ground, so…”

“This is the dollar store, how good can it be?“

“I look good in black and I’m willing to suffer.”

“Can I get a waffle? Can I please get a waffle?“

“What the fuck, is this allowed? Is this allowed?”

“I don’t need no degree to be a clothing hanger.”

“Road work ahead? Uh yea, I sure hope it does.“

“I don’t have enough money for chicken nuggets.“

“My resting heart rate registers as a panic attack.”

“I’m an adult. I do grownup things. Independence.”

“So, I’m sitting there, barbecue sauce on my titties.“

“I thought you were bae… turns out you’re just fam.”

“Mothertrucker, dude, that hurt like a buttcheek on a stick.“

“I love you, bitch. I ain’t never gonna stop lovin’ you, bitch.“

“Oh, hi. Thanks for checking in. I’m still a piece of garbage!”

“I ate half a stick of butter… for breakfast. So, it’s pretty bad.”

“This is your space, this is your area, she can’t do that to you.“

“Two brooos chillin’ in a hot tub, 5 feet apart ‘cuz they’re not gay.”

“My liver says ‘Thank God’, but my heart says ‘please… not yet’.”

“All these ghosts, ALL these ghosts… and I still can’t find a boo. “

“What up, I’m (name), I’m 19, and I never fucking learned how to read.“

“Go to Del Taco. They got a new thing called freesha-freesha-vaca-do.”

“Be whatever you wanna be. If you wanna be a dog… RUFF. You know?“

“Welcome to Bible Study. We’re all children of Jesus… Kumbaya my looord.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t see you there. I was too busy, hmmm, blocking out the haters.”

“Next time you put your fuckin’ hands on me, imma fuckin’ rip your face off, bitch.“

“When will you learn? When will you learn that your actions have consequences!?“

“Why the fuck you lyin’? Why you always lyin’? Mmmm, oh my god, stop fucking lyin’!”

“Catch that, it’s boiling over!”

“How spicy can I make this?”

“You want to be my taste-tester?”

“Could’ve used more seasoning.”

“Do you need a hand with supper?”

“Everything’s better with chocolate.”

“Too many hands in the kitchen, out!” 

“Want me to teach you how to make this?”

“Have you ever cooked a day in your life?”

“Oh no… it said teaspoon, not tablespoon.”

“No, no, no you’re going to burn it like that!”

“I never would’ve thought to bake it like that.”

“Just keep stirring ‘til your whole arm falls off.”

“Can you teach me how to cook this properly?”

“That’s so much icing. It’s like a tower of icing.”

“Salt is not a prime seasoning, you need more.”

“You don’t know the basics of cooking, do you?”

“That’s going to be so dry if you cook it like that.”

“Would you mind dicing some of those up for me?”

“There were supposed to be cookies, not charcoal.”

“I’ve never cooked anything this complicated before.”

“How much spice did you add? I cant feel my mouth!”

“I don’t know how you’re supposed to hold this knife.”

“You could give Gordon Ramsay a run for his money.”

“You’re actually tearing up… it can’t taste THAT good.”

“It tastes good, but the aesthetic could use some work.”

“I’m tempted to sign us up for one of those baking shows.”

“Come here, I’m going to show you how to plate this fancily.” 

“Not even kidding, you need to open a restaurant, this is amazing.”

“Well, we’re out, so I guess we’ll have to make some substitutions.” 

“I don’t think I should be trusted with the sharp things. Or the hot things.”

“They couldn’t believe it wasn’t made by professionals… you might need to bake more.”

“I wasn’t actually in love, but I felt a sort of tender curiosity.”

“Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.”

“I love her, and that’s the beginning and end of everything.”

“It takes two to make an accident.”

“Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.”

“I want to know you moved and breathed in the same world with me.”

“Show me a hero, and I'll write you a tragedy.”

“Human sympathy has its limits.”

“You’ll understand why storms are named after people.”

“I was a little shocked at the elaborateness of the lie.”

“I was alone again in the unquiet darkness.”

“I don’t want just words. If that’s all you have for me, you’d better go.”

“You can't live forever; you can't live forever.”

“He’s a peach of a fellow and absolutely first-rate.”

Suddenly he was inside the radius of her perfume and kissing her breathlessly.

It was the hour of a profound human change, and excitement was generating on the air.

“Anything can happen now that we've slid over this bridge, anything at all...”

“My own rule is to let everything alone.”

Her beauty was cool as this damp breeze, as the moist softness of her own lips.

“I want you to lie to me just as sweetly as you know how for the rest of my life.”

“Good luck to you and bad luck to your theories.”

“I used to wonder why they kept princesses in towers”

“Well, it's a fine book, and everybody ought to read it.”

"A great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain.”

"Debut: the first time a young girl is seen drunk in public."

"All life is just a progression toward, and then a recession from, one phrase — 'I love you.'"

"At any rate, let us love for a while, for a year or so, you and me. That's a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try."

"Everybody's youth is a dream, a form of chemical madness."

"Forgotten is forgiven."

“You don’t look like… much…”

“So nice to finally put a face to someone I’ve heard so much about.”

“You aren’t what I expected, but I hope to be surprised.”

“Well… this is awkward… uhhh hello.”

“I’m failing to remember what I expected when I signed up for this.”

“Not gonna lie, you were incredibly intimidating at first… still kind of are.”

“We seemed to have gotten off on the wrong foot.”

“Seems that the rumors and reputation are indeed being lived up to.”

“So I’ve heard some things…”

“You were the LAST person I expected.”

“Sparring partner huh? I think I can take you.”

“Me? I’m not anyone particularly special.”

“Haven’t heard of you whatsoever.”

“I’ve known you for five minutes and I think we’re already friends.”

“You and me are gonna get along great.”

“This is absolutely not working out.”

“Clearly there needs to be some ground rules established.”

“You’re going to be my sparring partner?”

“You know what? I like you.”

“Not working out. Nope.”

“I’m sorry but looking at you doesn’t scream ‘fighter’ to me.”

“I really hope you can make a better second impression.”

“You get one more shot. I hope it will change my mind.”

“I’m here to apologize about before… can we try again?”

“You look like you could use a coffee.”

“Is that something you want to talk about?”

“Come on, sit down. It’s break time.”

“I needed that, thanks…”

“Here’s a blanket. You looked cold.”

“Thank god you’re back, I need to rant.”

“Is my sweater ever going to be returned?”

“Bad day? Emergency plans are in order.”

“Alright your ride has arrived, where to next?”

“I’m brushing your hair, it’s a mess.”

“You happened to go get lunch and ‘bought too much’ huh?”

“Your hugs are the best.”

“Hey. Hey. Heeeeeey. Come on. We’re gonna be late, get up.”

“I’m late, yes. You should be used to that by now.”

“How long as it been that we’ve known each other? Feels like ages.”

“There was something on your face, I had to get it off.”

“You’re sure people think we’re dating?”

“I think it’s hilarious people assume they’re dating just because they’re nice to each other.”

“I need to hang out with someone I like, can we pretend to be working for an hour?”

“Tea and coffee? What happened?”

“Here you go, one forgotten, left it at home in a rush, lost item!”

“I’m going for a walk, you want anything?”

“… sorry I took a nap on you.”

“I suppose I am now requisitioned to being a napping spot.”
