i believe i warned you not to come here.
i do not intend to ignore that request.
perhaps you'd do me the honor of joining me later for a cocktail.
it's a pity you're so shy.
life's too short to endure the drudgery of steady employment.
i know what i want, [name], and i get it.
all i can say is, you're lucky something worse didn't happen.
i'm not cut out for this fancy lifestyle.
who'd you think you were dealing with, some dummy?
you know, i worry about you.
that sounds vaguely like a threat.
please forgive me. i do so dislike deceiving people.
that makes you either very brave or very foolish.
i suggest you be as candid as possible.
believe what you like. i'm telling you the truth.
i can’t wait to get away from this place.
i’ll say this: you’ve got one hell of an imagination.
that doesn't appeal to someone with your lofty ideals?
i did not come here for a lecture; i came for sympathy.
couldn't you have stayed out of it, just once?
you strike me as a person who fights for what she believes.
well, that's a noble sentiment, but a little naive.
you got something in your past, it always comes out, no matter how hard you try to hide it.
i'm not proud of what i did, but don't ask me to be sorry.
oh, no. wait. please. no, please! what did i ever do to you?
if that's not an omen, i don't know what is.
look, give me a break, will you? i'm hung over and i'm sick.
you may have stopped looking, but i haven't.

let's just face it. we're doomed to extinction.
don't say that. not after what we've had.

i'm afraid this deception has gone far enough.
are you suggesting i was indiscreet?
no need to get testy. i can take a hint.
you don't have the manners to hear me out?
do you know how hard this is for me?
if you don't play to win, there's no sense in playing at all.
this is the last place i ever thought i'd see anybody famous.
well, i had intended on getting an early start with my work, but i don't suppose it would hurt for me to take the morning off.
i rushed back as soon as i heard.
it's amazing the way you read my mind.
oh, i'm sorry. i would've knocked, but the door was open.
well, surely you're not afraid of something?
don't tell me i'm beginning to read your mind.
don't try and lie your way out of this one.
i don't wanna see you do anything you'll be sorry for.
[name], maybe... maybe we should rethink this.
are you kidding? i wouldn't miss it for the world.

what's bothering you? maybe i can help.

i'm a real bulldog. if there's something to learn, i'll learn it.
it's me. and have i got bad news for you.
you don't know how much i wanted to be wrong.
man puts up the money, he's entitled to the protection.
you sure ask a lot of questions.
i expect you've got it all smoothed over by now, haven't you?
why don't we get you settled, and then we'll get something to eat.
nobody asked you here. coming along was your idea.
i have a terrible feeling about this. it's like a premonition.
maybe we really are being warned, and we should take it more seriously.
i'd do it myself, but as you can see, i'm overwhelmed with other work.
i'm not gonna take the rap for you. you killed him.
you gave me exactly what you wanted to give me, and exactly when you wanted to give it.
