Tonight-- the foxes chase the hounds!!

“Expect nothing. Only then can you be prepared for anything.” “Have you always been such an asshole?“  “And how do you decide who deserves to die?“  “I have to admit that I have a grudging admiration for you.”  “Sometimes I come up here when I have decisions to make or difficulties to face.”  “I don’t know… how to be in this world without you.“  “Peace is an illusion. And no matter how tranquil the world seems… peace doesn’t last long. Peace is a struggle against our very nature. A skin we stretch over the bone, muscle, and sinew.”  “This is not how normal people start the day. Coffee, cereal maybe. Toast. Maybe even toast with another person…”  “All this trust is just making me tear up.”  “I’ll never see her again, not even to say goodbye. Do you know what that’s like?“  “What the fuck? What did you do to my goddamn door?“  “See, friends are overrated, ‘cause eventually, someone will come along and shoot ‘em. You’re better off alone.”  “You twirl your fingers when you’re nervous, you know that?”  “If I were afraid, would you save me, [NAME]?”  “We stick together, [NAME]. Never face the monsters alone.“  “For just a few hours, stay out of trouble, okay?”  “You look so thin. Are you eating enough?“  “There are some things you can’t kill your way out of.”  “You should know there’s nothing I won’t do. Nothing, if it will save you.“  “Divide et impera.“  “When everyone lies, telling the truth isn’t just rebellion. It’s an act of revolution. So think carefully when you speak it, because the truth is a weapon.”  “I told you before, we’re not friends. I don’t owe you a goddamn thing.”  “Don’t talk to me again unless you have something useful to say, okay?”  “The guards’ll be fine. Well, except for the broken jaw and shattered leg.”  “I could get you a car if you’d like. Or you could stay a while. With me.“  “I believe I’m the one offering to do the saving. Think about it. But don’t take too long. We’re running out of time.”  “You know, it’s getting easier to imagine putting holes in you every time you open your mouth.“  “I appreciate that you are no quitter. But there is a time for letting go.“  “Stay with me, [name]. Hey! Hey, I’m talking to you.”  “Don’t worry about him. He’s fine. Just concentrate on staying alive.”  “Hey, hey. Stay awake! Stay awake! Open your eyes!“  “This is what you do, love. Stride across the centuries, and death follows, churning in your wake.”  “Love isn’t finite. Maybe life shouldn’t be either. Maybe we should keep living, forever.“  “How could you believe that I would shoot you?”  “I cannot speak for you, my friend, but I am here to kick great amounts of ass.”  “I hate it when you’re smug.“  “The danger of living too long: you forget to fear death. We dismiss the Grim Reaper as a quaint metaphor. But fearing death… it’s good for you.”  “I missed you so much.“  “This is the weakness of weapons. They are tools to kill and destroy. They are not what gives you power. You are the weapon. You are the killer and destroyer.”  “I don’t wanna die. I wanna live. I want us to see a million tomorrows.“  “That’s the hardest thing to get used to. Nothing survives. Nothing but us.”  “You look good. I could have sworn I broke your back.”  “So, what? I just… forgive you, like nothing’s happened?”  “Whatever you think was happening between us… it didn’t matter. It meant nothing to me.”  “Throwing blades is an excellent way to increase one’s hand-eye coordination.”  “I think your relationship with honesty is passing at best.”  “Do you love me? It’s not a complicated question.“  “I’ll burn every one of them down, if that’s what it takes to bring you back to me.”  “I can’t ever expect your forgiveness.“  “You got a lot to lose. I don’t. Why don’t you listen?”  “I don’t see the point in going through this sober.”  “Fair is for dead men and losers.“  “You can say goodbye later, when one of us is dead.”  “You lied to me. To me, [NAME]. The only person who’s ever truly loved you.”  “It’s gonna be okay. It’s gonna be okay. I promise, it’s gonna be okay.”  “I skipped over worry and went straight to full-on panic.“  “I’ll never give you up. If I ever give you up my heart will surely fail…”  “It’s time for you to evolve. Transformation is always painful. But I changed to make myself stronger. You can, too.“  “This is real power. Cutting away the things that make you weak one at a time. Embrace that power. Be on the winning side.”  “They were raw material. A means to an end to get the respect I’m owed.”  “You’ve become everything we fought against.”  “The look on her face. The look on her face when I pulled the trigger. It was almost relief.”  “I may be many things, but I am not a murderer.”  “We have ruined each other. Haven’t we?“ 

“Hey! You have a fever, and I told you to stay in bed!” “I can’t just stay in bed while you’re working so hard.” “Thank you, [NAME]. But it’s okay to get discouraged… or be selfish every once in a while.“  “I’ve always been a little dim, haven’t I?“ “That’s right. I’ve never been the brightest light bulb.” “It should have been obvious… that the rice ball would never get to join the group.” “Strawberries! I love those!“ “Please make friends with me again, okay?“ “Are you done unpacking yet?“ “I’m sorry, [NAME]. Please don’t think badly of them. They’re just unpleasant people, that’s all.“ “Oh, no, I’m not trying to kick you out!” “I don’t think just “putting up with things” suits you, [NAME].” “I think you need something a little more than this place.” “No… I don’t deserve to think I “need more”…” “I have to be grateful for everything. I’m… blessed. So… So I shouldn’t say… that I want to go home…!“ “Is this selfish? Does this prove that I’m too soft on myself?” “You’re distracting me. If you want to take a walk, do it outside.” “Say what?! Are you picking a fight?!“ “Oi! You just took us in a circle.“ “Why should I have to feel so on edge the second you leave? I don’t get it, and that puts me even more on edge!” “This is your fault! If you didn’t want to leave, you shoulda said so!” “Isn’t a selfish request okay sometimes?“ “If someone asked for selfish stuff every day, it’d piss me off. But in your case… It’s okay to complain, or be selfish, or get discouraged every once in a while.“ “Wh-What? What’s wrong?! Why are you crying?!” “I’m the luckiest person in the world.“ “Congratulations on successfully capturing the princess!” “Yep, no problem! Leave all the fallout to me.“ “Clearly this isn’t a perfect home, but it’s yours if you want it… [NAME].” “Rice balls are easy finger food.“ “The threatening look isn’t effective while you’re in that outfit.” “Did something just explode?“ “Thank you, [NAME]! That was a brilliant diversionary tactic, and at great sacrifice!” “I’m sorry. I thought you were cute, too.“ “You know, it’s funny… When you say that, I kind of feel better.” “I know you’d look cuter than I do. Much cuter.” “Que será, será! It’ll work out.“ “[NAME], he’ll get a big head if you praise him too much.“ “I’ll show you. And if I win, you better dye your hair black!” “Fine, then if you lose, you bleach your hair till it’s white.” “I already know I always ask for the moon.“ “Ugh, I yelled too much. Now my throat hurts.“

“The only true love is unrequited love.”  “Will I see you again?” “Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us.”  “I never could lie to you.“  “Promise me you’ll come back.”  “Am I just a joke to you, [name]?”  “This is what you do, love. Stride across the centuries, and death follows, churning in your wake.”  “You’re making it personal. That doesn’t help.“  “It was almost like a dream. ‘Oh. I’m not waking up. Why aren’t I waking up?’ I thought. That feeling never ended. It still hasn’t ended.” “I don’t want to hear your suggestions for my personal life.”  “Hold me, at least once, before we say goodbye.”  “I want to hug you once more, as soft as I can.”  “For whose sake… am I living now?”  “Come back alive.” “Thank you… In the end, that’s all I had to say.” “I love you… In the end, that’s all I had to say.” “For survival, I buried my dreams.” “Perhaps you’re right. Neither of us is who we used to be.”  “Don’t go where I can’t follow.” “I aim to be lionhearted, but my hands still shake and my voice isn’t quite loud enough.” “Let me in! Tell me what you’re thinking!“  “I just want to save you.”  “We are not the same, and never will be.” “Stop pretending this doesn’t terrify you.” “Of course it meant something.” “Do you remember?” “I can’t help but love you, even though I try not to.”  “I can’t pretend it’s not the end.”  “I said I’d have courage, but I don’t. Not anymore.”  “You’re a good liar.” “You jump, I jump. Remember?” “There’s nothing I’d deny you, if you would not deny me.” “Don’t do it. Don’t love me.” 

“… you can set the world on fire. Nothing is stopping you.” 

  “I just want to survive to see the next day, like everyone else.”
