“You’re dead.”

“I’m saving you.“

“I prefer ‘functional alcoholic’.“

“Did we just become best friends?“

“Had a room until you two soiled it.“

“And how do I know he’s still alive?“

“I watched you die, and I carried you…“

“You can’t stand the fact that he’s mine.“

“Nope. Just using a dead man’s phone.“

“These feelings, they aren’t for me, for us.“

“You don’t ever have to say that, not to me.“

“You don’t ever come back from that. Not ever.”

“So, what are you gonna do, you gonna kill me?“

“I tried, I did, I tried. But, I couldn’t save this one.“

“You can say it, you’re not wrong. I crossed a line.“

“This doesn’t make us square. If I see you, again…“

“I left you an open tab at the bar. Knock yourself out.”

“Do it! You said if you saw me, you’d kill me, so do it!”

“You can’t just bury stuff like this, you gotta deal with it.“

“You don’t have to do this, being a monster is a choice.“

“You don’t know what I’ve done, I might have it coming.“

“You sound like a Viagra commercial. You know that, right?“

“Anyway, good talk, you can get the hell out of my life, now.“

“So…How you been feeling? On edge? Pent-up? Unfulfilled?“

“You have no idea what you walked into here, do you? None.“

“There is not much difference between madness and devotion.“

“I believe there is a God… But I’m not sure he still believes in us.“

“Just let me go live my life, I won’t bother you. What do you care?“

“So, let me ask you… which one of us is really the monster, hmm?“

“I can’t go down that road, again, man, I can’t be that thing, again.“

“What if I said I… I didn’t want to die, yet? And that I wasn’t ready?”

“Yeah, well, I’ll be sure to pass that on to him as I’m slitting his throat.“

“You want me to debate you? This isn’t even the real you I’m talking to.“

“I’m afraid you haven’t allowed yourself to dream quite big enough here.“

“I told him to let me go. So whatever jam he’s in now, that is his problem.“

“You know what tickles me about all this? It’s what’s really eating you up.“

“They can help you remember what it was to be good, what it was to love.“

“I don’t know how you did this, what kind of… black-magic stunt you pulled.”

“We are going to fix this. I’m not letting what happened to me happen to you.“

“I know you’ve been thinking about it for a time, I know it’s been gnawing at you.”

“What you said earlier back there, about being past saving, were you really — ?”

“ I know what you did when you went looking for me. And I know how far you went.”

“Let me tell you something. Guys like me, we are the natural order. It’s the way it was set up.“

“So, if there’s even a small chance that we can save you, I won’t let you walk out of this room.”

“Knowing that these things are out there, makes the world seem… I don’t know bigger, darker.”

“If that’s what you think is happening, then you’re more out of your depths than I thought.“

“Are you kidding me? For once we don’t have to wear suits. You’re lucky my waistband is not elastic.”

“But, I am just trying to do the right thing, man, ‘cause I am so sick and tired of doing the wrong one.”

“Who do you think you’re talking to here? Does the tin man have a sheet-metal Willy? Of course I lied.“

“She was a horrible mother. Did I tell you the time that she almost traded me for three pigs? Three!”

“So, I’m gonna fight it, ‘til I can’t fight it, anymore. And, when all is said and done, I’ll go down swinging.”

“You’ve been kicked, bit, scratched, stabbed, possessed, killed… and you sprain your frigging elbow?”

“I know you think you’re going try and fix me, but did it never occur to you maybe I don’t want to be fixed?“

“Now the truth is, I’m past saving. I know how my story ends; it’s at the edge of a blade or the barrel of a gun.“

“The universe is trying to tell us something we both should already know: we’re stronger together than apart.”

“I’ve done things you cannot even imagine. Horrible, evil, messy things. And I’ve loved every. Damn. Minute.”

“There’s no nothing… except the 100% guarantee that, somewhere down the road, I will find you, and I will kill you.”

“Face it, darling. You’re an addict. Death is your drug. And you’re gonna spend the rest of your life chasing that dragon.”

“That kid is going to spend his whole life knowing that he had his shot and that he couldn’t beat me, that ain’t mercy. That’s the worst thing I could have done to him.“

“You can squeeze my hand if you need to.”

“You are so beautiful. It pains me you can’t see it.”

“You’ve been through so much… you deserve to rest.”

“You’re scared. It’s okay to admit it, there’s no shame in it.”

“I’m always going to have your back. You know that, right?”

“There’s nothing to be scared of. No one can hurt you here.”

“You don’t have to be perfect. I would never expect you to be.”

“Here, punch this pillow. Do it. I swear it’ll help you feel better.”

“I’m here, whether you need hugs, or ice cream, or… anything.”

“I’m here for you. I will always be here for you, as long as I live.”

“Don’t let them get under your skin. You’re more than their jeers.”

“No, there’s nothing wrong with crying. Shhhh, there, let it all out.”

“You look like you need a hug. Do you want me to give you a hug?”

“You’re one of the strongest people I’ve ever met. you’ll survive this.”

“I swear, I’ll never let anyone hurt you, again. You’ll be safe with me.”

“No one expects you to be indestructible. It’s alright to break sometimes.”

“There is nothing you could ever do or say that would make me love you less.”

“Do you want to just order pizza, watch a movie, and forget about it all for a minute?”

“Even after all you’ve been through, you still have the gentlest soul. I admire that about you.”

“You don’t always have to be the hero. sometimes it’s okay for other people to save you, too.”

“If you need to scream… scream. You’ve been bottling this all up for so long, you need to let it out somehow.”

“You know, you’re braver than anyone I’ve ever met. If there’s anyone who can get through this, it’s you.”

❛ you look really pretty right now. ❜

❛ stop changing the subject. ❜

❛ every day i fight, i fight for all of us. ❜

❛ what are you doing? what is wrong? ❜

❛ if i have to think about one more thing today, my head will explode. ❜

❛ you may be in grave danger. there is no time to explain.❜

❛ we can make our own way. please, come with me. ❜

❛ don't even talk to me about this because i won't remember.❜

❛ i am not your husband. at least not the one you know. i am another version of him from another life path, another universe. ❜

❛ i’m here because we need your help.❜

❛ sorry, very busy today. no time to help you– ❜

❛ all those years of searching have brought me here. to this universe. to you. ❜

❛ i’m here to tell you every rejection, every disappointment has led you here. to this moment. ❜

❛ i'm not ready to fight yet. ❜

❛ maybe we don't have a choice. ❜

❛ now, you can either come with me and live up to your ultimate potential, or lie here and live with the consequences. ❜

❛ i... want to lie here. ❜

❛ how often do people literally die laughing? ❜

❛ my husband won't even kill a spider. how are you the same person? ❜

❛ we are talking about infinity. if you can imagine it, somewhere out there, it exists. ❜

❛ how did i die? ❜

❛ i've seen you die a thousand ways. in a thousand worlds. in every single one, you were murdered. ❜

❛ what!? who wants me dead? ❜

❛ you’ve been feeling it too, haven’t you? something is off. your clothes never wear as well the next day, your hair never falls in quite the same way, even your coffee tastes... wrong. ❜

❛ maybe we would have been better off if we had never gotten married. ❜

❛ i never said that. ❜

❛ you didn’t have to. it’s the way you look at me. ❜

❛ can’t you see it? how wonderful it would be if you came with me? ❜

❛ i saw my life without you. i wish you could have seen it. it was beautiful. ❜

❛ shhh, you're not thinking straight. ❜

❛ what is worse than death? ❜

❛ i saw your face on a billboard and — this is silly — i wondered if you remembered me... ❜

❛ is it that i can’t be here, or that i’m not allowed to be here? ❜

❛ there is no good, there is no evil. there is only “goovil”. ❜

❛ if you can imagine it, you have fucked it. ❜

❛ do not be so closed minded that you blind yourself from the truth! ❜

❛ don’t make me fight you. i am really really good. ❜

❛ you're capable of anything because you're so bad at everything. ❜

❛ you can't remember anything because your bodies were under the control of other universes. ❜

❛ you were like puppets. and you could do things you normally can't do. you were like, what's that movie... raccaccoonie? ❜

❛ how can you defeat her in every universe, if you can't even kill her in one? ❜

❛ the sacrifices necessary to win this war... i know all too well. ❜

❛ i cannot lose another loved one to the darkness. ❜

❛ i know you have feelings. feelings that make you so sad. that make you just want to give up. that is not your fault. ❜

❛ i'll see you again soon, somewhere out there in all that noise. ❜

❛ just think happy thoughts. ❜

❛ you okay? caught you staring off into space again. ❜

❛ i'm the one you've been looking for. ❜

❛ i’m the one who will defeat you. ❜

❛ you’re finally free, like me. ❜

❛ you don't have to choose anymore. between loving me or hating me. you can do both at the same time. ❜

❛ before, you were asking about "our daughter". it's crazy, but it really got me thinking. what if you had come with me all of those years ago? ❜

❛ all of this time, i wasn't looking for someone who could defeat me. i was looking for someone who could see what i see, feel what i feel... ❜

❛ oh, good, you're here too. ❜

❛ i'm sorry about ruining everything, i– ❜

❛ we're all stupid. small stupid little humans. it's like our whole deal. ❜

❛ everything is going to be okay. ❜

❛ you think i’m weak don’t you? ❜

❛ when we first fell in love all of those years ago, your father would say i was too sweet for my own good. maybe he was right. ❜

❛ please! can we just stop fighting! ❜

❛ you tell me that it's a cruel world and we're all just running around in circles. i know that. i've been on this earth just as many days as you. ❜

❛ the only thing i do know is we have to be kind. be kind. especially, when we don't know what's going on. ❜

❛ i know you go through life with your fists held tight. you see yourself as a fighter. well, i see myself as one too. this is how i fight. ❜

❛ in another life, i would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you. ❜

❛ you know what i say? cold, hysterical, unlovable bitches like us make the world go round. ❜

❛ you aren’t unlovable. there is always something to love. ❜

❛ even in a stupid, stupid universe where we have hot dogs for fingers, we’d all be very good with our feet! ❜

❛ in a universe where we both agree that no one could love you, if we look hard enough, something will prove us wrong. ❜

❛ we are all useless alone. so its good you're not alone. ❜

❛ maybe you win in this universe. but in another, i beat you. or we tie. or we eat crepes. ❜

❛ i don't want to hurt anymore. and for some reason when i'm with you, it hurts both of us. ❜

❛ out of all of the places i could be, why would i want to be here with you? ❜

❛ i still want to be here with you. i will always want to be here with you. ❜
