"if i wanted to bump you off, i'd use my hands." "are you sure we can't be seen?" "this town can be so brutal to anyone who's different." "sometimes people you've never met make the best companions." "it was probably just the wind." "is that supposed to scare me?" "do you wanna build a snowman?" "sometimes it's easier to be yourself when no one can see you." "most of the time, i feel like a ghost in this town." "no one's ever given me a flower before." "i do need you- no matter what happens, you know that right?" "if you see what's underneath this mask, you won't wanna see me again." "i got your message- the burning house was a nice touch."

"so funny i forgot to laugh." "say something, please." "you only get to hang out here on a technicality." "what happens if you leave?" "stay away from the mirror maze." "you don't leave by sunrise, you don't leave, ever." "do you know what you're doing?" "they didn't care what anyone thought & it was kinda infectious. when i was with them, it would rub off." "why are you helping me?" "you know you can't keep coming here every night, right?" "crazy fun park, where the deaths never stop." "people get pulled in other directions, that's life." "grief doesn't have to be a constant weight on your shoulders." "you don't have think sad thoughts all the time." "i don't want to be stuck with you for all eternity." "you better not tell anyone what you saw in there." "you're dead. you don't get to control how you're remembered." "i had to watch them disappear." "when you're forgotten by the living, you disintegrate." "can i have your cd collection when you're gone?" "is there something you're trying to forget? because you're scared it'll hurt."

"i don't know what i'm meant to do right now." "i don't wanna know what happens next if it's not with you." "i need you." "people aren't always kind, especially when they're hurting." "cause you can't eat. cause ya don't have a digestive system. cause you're dead." "i'm not ready to say goodbye." "this time if you lose, you don't get to go home ever."

"see that wedding bed, could you carry it over. life it high on your shoulders & take it far away from here?" "how could you say this?" "a symbol of our love everlasting, do you realize what you've asked me?" "only my husband/wife knew that, so i guess that makes them you." "i will fall in love with you, over & over again." "I don't care how, where, or when- no matter how long it's been, you're mine!" "don't tell me you're not the same person. you're always my husband/wife & i've been waiting." "i love you"
