β i donβt like seeing you nervous. β
β the risk of doing nothing becomes the greatest risk of all. β
β iβm gonna do us a favor and not mention this happened. β
β youβre gonna get us both in trouble. β
β iβm not moving. you want it, you take it and i walk away. β
β if itβs not important, why not tell me? β
β donβt tell anybody you saw me. donβt tell anybody you know where i am. β
β you donβt look so good. β
β you need to get as far away from here as you can. β
β youβre like me. we were born in a hole. all we know is climbing over somebody else to get out. β
β itβs all about you, isnβt it? itβs always all about you. β
β ah, youβve remembered how to mock me. β
β thatβs as close to an apology as youβre gonna get. β
β maybe we should quit while weβre ahead. β
β welcome. and just in time for dinner. β
β thereβs no way out alive. of that you must be sure. β
β my anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fightβ¦theyβve set me on a path from which there is no escape. β
β iβm struggling to understand why my faith doesnβt calm me. i believe in something. why am i so unsettled? β
β you donβt have to worry about me anymore. β
β i thought you left without me. β
β you have a different path, and iβm not judging you. β
β itβs better you donβt know. β
β youβre avoiding the question. β
β hey. you know something i donβt? β
β i told you, iβm doing everything i can. β
β you might as well wear a sign that says, βi promise to disappoint you.β β
β youβre bleeding on my floor. β
β you knew where this was going. youβve always known. β
β i need to hear you tell me you can follow the plan. β
β pull yourself together, all right? β
β this timeβ¦you canβt stay, and i canβt go. β
β i burn my decency for someone elseβs future. i burn my life to make a sunrise that i know iβll never see. β
β i said i know you. i know all about you. β
β why donβt we do something fun tomorrow night? β
β i knew i could count on you. β
β i am going to ask you a question. i expect an honest answer. β
β i yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time i looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. β
β thatβs cold. even for you. β
β youβll stay with me. i need all the heroes i can get. β
β iβm thinking clearly and youβre not. β
β is that your defence? youβve been βcarefulβ? β
β any civilized being knows an open invitation is no invitation at all. β
β rule number one: never carry anything you donβt control. β
β whatβs the hurry? got some place to be? β
β you come all this way to scold me? β
β iβd never lie to you. β
β youβre not here to save anybody but yourself. β
β what, not happy to see me? β
β iβve never loved anyone the way i love you. β
β i wonβt have peace. iβll be worried about you all the time. β
β turning back will be impossible. β
β thereβs no room for doubt on the path to success. β
β two guys jumped me. it went too far. β
β you fall here, you fall alone. β
β iβm just saying out loud what you already known. β
β you love me because i show you what you need to see. β
β itβs just me against everybody else. β
β you donβt want to hear what happened? β
β hey. i wonβt forget this. β
β you think itβs hopeless, do you? freedom? independence? justice? β
β no oneβs more at risk than i am. β
β you wanted to leave? this is what it comes to. β
β what are you staring at? β
β weβll die with nothing if we donβt put aside our petty differences. β
β youβll make an effort tonight if it kills you. β
β i write when i canβt sleep. β
β you havenβt been listening to me, have you? β
β us? i donβt know you. β
β iβm not gonna put my people at risk for someone else. β
β your fatherβs looking for you. β
β why would i go anywhere with you? β
β iβm glad youβre here. no matter what the reason. β
β thatβs what a reckoning sounds like. you want it to stop, but it just keeps coming. β
β come on. we need to get out of here. come on. β
β being a leader isnβt just something you can turn on and off. β
β itβs been a day of surprises for all of us. β
β you lived because you ran. β
β i imagine that no matter what you tell me or tell yourself, youβll ultimately die fighting these bastards. β
β you think i havenβt thought this through? iβd be the first one to fall. β
β wouldnβt you rather give it all at once to something real than carve off useless pieces till thereβs nothing left? β
β youβre wasting energy. you know iβm right. β
β i just want whatβs mine. β
β must everything be boring and sad? β
β you have a problem, you come to me. β
β iβm starting to think weβre in over our heads. β
β everyone has their own rebellion. β
β can one ever be too aggressive in preserving order? β
β the day before is always hard. too much time to worry. β
β donβt touch me. β
β i wake up every day to an equation i wrote fifteen years ago from which thereβs only one conclusion, Iβm damned for what i do. β
β iβm just trying to clear my name. β
β working with other people is never easy. β
β just being in your presenceβ¦iβve realized that life is worth living. β
β do you have any idea how much trouble youβre in right now? β
β i knew you were lying. i knew it. β
β losing hope? your mind? keep it to yourself. β
β must everything be boring and sad? β
β the axe forgets, but the tree remembers. β
β perhaps my deranged belief that there was something better fated for me in the future was a dream worth clinging to. β
β iβm not here for career advice. β
β thereβs a difference between fear and losing your nerve. β
β youβre slouching. is that how you present yourself to the world? β
β perhaps you should have a rest. β
β i didnβt deserve what happened. β
β you should go. i didnβt realize how late it was. β
β iβd forgotten how sensitive you can be. β
β youβre lucky to be alive right now. β
β so, thatβs it? thatβs why youβre here? revenge? β
β you can wear a ball gown if youβd like. β
β this is the last place you should be. β
β so much going wrong, so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly. β
β itβs easier to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident. β
β what were you gonna do if i wasnβt here? β
β iβve been worried you might do something like this. β
β donβt you dare talk to me like that. β
β the very worst thing you can do right now is bore me. β
β if youβre not willing to risk your conscience, then surrender and be done with it. β
β weβve come a long way from where we started. β
β i show you the stone in my hand, you miss the knife at your throat. β
β people blame you for what happened. β
β i think about you constantly. β
β i dreamt you came back. β
β you pull in the net and the easy thing, the quick thing, is to assume that everything youβve dragged to shore is a fish. β
β i shouldβ¦i should say thank you. β
β iβve given up all chance at inner peace. iβve made my mind a sunless space. i share my dreams with ghosts. β
β donβt die until you put up a fight. β
β you came here to kill me, didnβt you? β
β iβve been shamed enough for one night. β
β if you wanna say something, you should say it now. β
β i would rather die trying to take them down than giving them what they want. β
β is that meant to scare me? β
β iβve been turning away from the truth i wanted not to face. β
β youβre bleeding. β
