‘ take it. please. ’

‘ your time is running out. ’

‘ these here are the possible suspects. ’

‘ there are still laws against murder! ’

‘ i’m not coming in until you invite me. ’

‘ aren’t crosses supposed to burn? ’

‘ ah, you’re a budding clemenza! ’

‘ does it burn, bitch?! ’

‘ that’s not salt, that’s my dad! ’

‘ roger that. ’

‘ i just wanted to get to know you. ’

‘ you’re damn right we need to talk. ’

‘ this town is crawling with vampires! ’

‘ was this your plan all along? ’

‘ i didn’t want this to happen. ’

‘ you told me to drink! ’

‘ his blood is in your veins! ’

‘ i wish we had never met. ’

‘ i’m tired. i’m heading to bed. ’

‘ he’s the only brother i got. ’

‘ you got an eye for a lot of things. ’

‘ quick! get into the sunlight! ’

‘ i gave you everything! ’

‘ when the sun sets, they’re gonna come for us. ’

‘ i’m sorry, who are you guys?! ’

‘ push! ’

‘ i’m going up to the roof to get a better look. ’

‘ you held your own against a vampire. ’

‘ you could never be like dad. ’

‘ take your friends & go upstairs. ’

‘ afraid to show your face, (name)?! ’

‘ come out & face me, you coward! ’

‘ join us. ’

‘ you’re alone now, (name)! it’s just you! ’

‘ you don’t have it in you. you never did. ’

‘ i tried to make you immortal. ’

‘ you tried to make me a killer! ’

‘ you belong to me. ’

‘ my blood is in your veins. ’

‘ but we killed the head vampire! ’

‘ forgive me, (name). ’

‘ you’re scaring me. ’

‘ never invite a vampire into your home, (name), it renders you powerless. ’

‘ i didn’t invite you in this time, (name). ’

‘ i can raise my kids on my own, asshole! ’

‘ you saved us. ’

‘ & i shot a crossbow. ’

‘ that’s not what happened. ’

‘ i’m trying to show you in the best possible light. ’

‘ stress the positive, ignore the negative. ’

‘ don’t let them paint their posters with your blood. not if you can help it. ’

‘ why don’t we all take a deep breath? ’

‘ you’re headed for a bloody & agonizing death. ’

‘ think about it before you burn that bridge entirely. ’

‘ you might not want me, but it’s a sure bet you need me. ’

‘ that’s a raven. it’s the biggest songbird there is. ’

‘ that bird is who i want to be when i grow up. someone who says whatever they think is right, no matter what. ’

‘ i need to take a piss. ’

‘ you are loved better, raised better, & a whole lot better company. ’

‘ you & me to the end. ’

‘ poor little bird... who will sing your songs now? ’

‘ she doesn’t belong to them. ’

‘ don’t just hand her over. make them fight for her. ’

‘ scared them pretty good, you reckon? ’

‘ i could open these in a jiffy if i had a hairpin. ’

‘ it’s impossible to tell when they’re watching. ’

‘ i’m not a breakfast person. ’

‘ if you can manage to get a bit more down in the next few days, it would be a good thing. ’

‘ so we’ll ask you now, what do you want? ’

‘ they think of us as animals. & they think of themselves as superior. so it’s okay to kill us. ’

‘ force them to admit we’re people, too. & they’re the beasts for killing us. ’

‘ i can tell him you’re both smart. ’

‘ pack members have better odds. at least in the beginning. someone to watch their backs. ’

‘ first avoid the slaughter. ’

‘ get weapons, look for water. ’

‘ find food & where to sleep. ’

‘ there’s a good chance you’ll be on the move.’

‘ you snore. ’

‘ i could hear you through the wall. ’

‘ just a bunch of loose cannons. ’

‘ are we always the last ones to arrive at everything? ’

‘ we should throw knives. ’

‘ we could’ve taken them. ’

‘ the question is, why didn’t you? ’

‘ why do you submit to it all? ’

‘ i still don’t think the fear they inspire justifies this arrangement we’ve all entered into. ’

‘ you put on quite a show last night. ’

‘ they don’t care what happens to us tributes, dead or alive. ’

‘ why do you keep dogging me? ’

‘ there’s a gym full of people just aching for some exposure. ’

‘ i’ll try to give you some space. ’

‘ you have to be nice. ’

‘ don’t comment on her hair, don’t comment on her nails, don’t comment on how she looks in brown. ’

‘ don’t ask to examine her pin because you’re an authority on jewelry. ’

‘ we need to seem like people you’d want to be your allies. ’

‘ i guess if i can find one potato, i stand a good chance of finding two. ’

‘ you needn’t apologize for being astute. i’m just glad you’re paying attention. ’

‘ so, if it’s a machine, it can be broken, right? ’

‘ i wish you were my sister. ’

‘ we don’t have to buy into their mind game, that somehow they will always defeat us. ’

‘ everyone acts like the odds aren’t in our favor, but i’m sure we can beat those odds! ’

‘ at least this alliance gives us something to do besides freak out. ’

‘ you all managing after the accident? ’

‘ well, that’s one way of drowning your sorrows. ’

‘ i think he believes you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. ’

‘ do you know much about doves, [name]? ’

‘ all the birds i’ve encountered are vicious. ’

‘ bet i know a thing or two about your dove. ’

‘ she’s delightful to look at, swishes around in bright colors, & sings like a mockingjay. ’

‘ you love her. & oh, how she seems to love you. ’

‘ except sometimes you wonder, because her plans don’t include you at all. ’

‘ believe me, romantically speaking, you’re dodging a bullet with these games. ’

‘ you can die clean & fair, or we can open the games with the slowest, most agonizing death ever to befall a tribute. ’

‘ i have a belated birthday gift for you. i want it treated with the gratitude it deserves. ’

‘ i did not know about any of this. ’

‘ he just said he wanted to talk to you. ’

‘ you’re my hero. i hope i’m just like you when i grow up. oh, wait a minute, that won’t be happening. ’

‘ that’s not sleeping in my room. ’

‘ we’re supposed to pretend she’s real for the cameras. i have no idea who she is. ’

‘ whoever she is, i guess she’s ours now. ’

‘ i used to have a pet canary by that name. ’

‘ do you think we should practice being on watch? ’

‘ no one here will hurt you. ’

‘ i can only hope that his death is quick & not in vain. ’

‘ i’ll try to look out for him in there. ’

‘ you have to be careful what you say around her. she’s not herself, & might repeat it to anyone. ’

‘ it sounds better when she sings it. ’

‘ you really caught their attention. ’

‘ she doesn’t like me, your girlfriend. ’

‘ i know her secret & she hates being at my mercy. ’

‘ i told you, it’s a secret. those should be respected. ’

‘ you’re murdering us! you’re murdering us! ’

‘ you’re not going to make any friends with this approach. ’

‘ be a rascal. a charming, naughty rascal. ’

‘ who’s ready for a big, big, big day! ’

‘ sometimes the hurt’s too bad to bear alone. ’

‘ can we stay by the fire awhile? i don’t like the dark. ’

‘ we’d live longer with two of us. ’

‘ i swear, do this & i’ll never ask you for anything else as long as i live. ’

‘ i don’t want it to come down to you & me. ’

‘ don’t leave me again. ’

‘ it’s the only way i get back to my people. ’

‘ enjoy your homecoming. ’

‘ i tried to change things, & now everybody’s dead. you don’t want me. ’

‘ you were capable of imagining a different future. ’

‘ you have nothing to lose. that puts you in a position of power. ’

‘ i like large parties. they’re so intimate. ’

‘ at small parties, there isn’t any privacy. ’

‘ i’ve done it all for her. ’

‘ my waiting is through. ’

‘ if you bring her to me, i’ll be indebted to you. ’

‘ she slipped through my hands. ’

‘ there is no forgetting her. ’

‘ am i chasing a dream? ’

‘ how’s the view from up there? ’

‘ keep those spectacles clean. ’

‘ got a feeling that sometime this morning good things are rolling my way. ’

‘ you keep running your business, i’ll keep running mine. ’

‘ i couldn’t help but panic. ’

‘ we’ll strike it rich, you’ll see. ’

‘ so i gave the boy a chance. ’

‘ i couldn’t help but crack a smile. ’

‘ we both knew that it was now or never. ’

‘ it’s bad enough that i was born. ’

‘ it’s a blessing & a curse. ’

‘ it was maybe a mistake & the only choice to make. ’

‘ i built the perfect place to stay locked away. ’

‘ i learned that it is not what feels the best. ’

‘ it is what will hurt the least. ’

‘ i never should have come here. ’

‘ i need a cigarette. ’

‘ i should’ve said i wouldn’t be staying long. ’

‘ i need a cup of coffee. ’

‘ would you go to tea with him? ’

‘ here’s a night i’ll soon regret. ’

‘ don’t you treat me that way! ’

‘ you broke my nose! ’

‘ i should have torn that bastard limb from limb. ’

‘ maybe there’s another way that i can still get back at him. ’

‘ i have waited five years & today is the day. ’

‘ i am not okay. ’

‘ only four hours left & there’s too much to do. ’

‘ it’s seven o’clock in the morning. ’

‘ today’s the day! ’

‘ this is an omen! we need to cancel the whole thing! ’

‘ i’m gonna walk into the ocean. ’

‘ leave it all to me. ’

‘ it’s only tea. ’

‘ i should go lie down. ’

‘ will she see that i’ve made my world in the image of her dreams? ’

‘ i told them to keep it casual! ’

‘ i’m off to go scream in a jar. ’

‘ this is not the time to panic. ’

‘ can you see the green light just cross the bay? ’

‘ if i save you, will you save me too? ’

‘ can you see through the mist? ’

‘ i thought you’d disappeared, thought you were gone. ’

‘ careful of the people you decide to go deep with. ’

‘ i’m okay with keeping secrets. ’

‘ be as shady as you want. ’

‘ life in the shadows can be fun. ’

‘ if you don’t wanna know the answer, don’t go asking the question. ’

‘ save your own skin before you’re in too deep. ’

‘ the less you know, the better you’ll sleep. ’

‘ have we stepped inside a time machine? ’

‘ i think i see stars aligning. ’

‘ holding you is like clinging to a cloud. ’

‘ you’d better hold tight or i might fly away. ’

‘ you just might be my undoing. ’

‘ she kissed me & swore she’d never stray. ’

‘ then the world got in the way. ’

‘ i must remind her of the love we left behind. ’

‘ they say you can’t relive the past. ’

‘ i tried to inhale, & my head starts to swim. ’

‘ at the end of the night, i’m going home with him. ’

‘ why didn’t you marry me when you could have? ’

‘ i’ll marry you now. ’

‘ let’s run away. ’

‘ we’ll drive until morning, carefree & recklessly into the sun. ’

‘ you say the word & it’s as good as done. ’

‘ if we don’t go now, we might never go. ’

‘ if we don’t go now, we might never know. ’

‘ go get the car. ’

‘ i’m not going home yet. ’

‘ i swear to you, no one cares if i am here. ’

‘ we don’t have to run. we’re going to face him. ’

‘ we’ll tell him it’s over & leave him behind. ’

‘ if that’s the plan, you can count me out. ’

‘ that’s the kind of progress i can do without. ’

‘ your wife never loved you & she never will. ’

‘ it makes me laugh to think you didn’t know. ’

‘ you’re the one who double crossed her. ’

‘ all this from a cheap impostor. ’

‘ sorry, but i fear you’ve lost her. ’

‘ none of this was made to last. ’

‘ that was a scandal for the ages! ’

‘ how much did you pay to stay off the social pages? ’

‘ every so often i might go off on a spree. ’

‘ i make a fool of myself. ’

‘ no, [name]. you make a fool of me! ’

‘ you leave a trail of lies that never ends. ’

‘ here i thought that we were friends. ’

‘ it’s time to face reality. ’

‘ she doesn’t love you. ’

‘ go on & tell him that you’re through. ’

‘ does [name] know the kind of work you do? ’

‘ she decides what’s made to last! ’

‘ let my girl be a fool. ’

‘ the choices she makes in this life are never hers. ’

‘ i would have command over the forces of life & death. ’

‘ the vision was so clear. clearer than anything i’d seen in my waking hours or dreams. ’

‘ my downfall was swift. ’

‘ no sooner do we rise, we fall. ’

‘ we are not gods, are we? ’

‘ if we are to behave as immodestly as gods, we must, at the very least, deliver miracles. ’

‘ teach them defiance rather than obedience. ’

‘ how exactly do you propose to teach what is impossible? ’

‘ this is a hearing, doctor! not a carnival act! ’

‘ this is the future! this is possible! ’

‘ why not study it? ’

‘ this is unholy! ’

‘ god gives life, & god takes it, [name]! ’

‘ perhaps god is inept! ’

‘ do not let these old fools extinguish your voice! ’

‘ he’s making a name for himself. ’

‘ i’m afraid we both share that name, whether we like it or not. ’

‘ you were done for before you uttered a word. ’

‘ can you contain your fire, prometheus? or are you going to burn your hands before delivering it? ’

‘ you ended your demonstration out of pride. ’

‘ i work alone. ’

‘ why not just carry on without calling attention to yourself in such a manner? ’

‘ you certainly expressed them loudly enough. ’

‘ ideas are not worthwhile by themselves, i don’t believe. ’

‘ that is what happens when ideas are pursued by fools. ’

‘ you think me a fool, hm? ’

‘ how often a man believes he’s met an angel or a devil, only to find it is all an illusion. ’

‘ the game of chess we play only against ourselves. ’

‘ i could feel destiny calling. ’

‘ i take it, then, that we have an understanding? ’

‘ what would such a delicate, pious creature have to confess to? ’

‘ he tries to control & manipulate everything & everyone around him. ’

‘ he delights in playing the victim. ’

‘ have you had supper? ’

‘ my interest in science leans towards the smallest things. ’

‘ i’ve always searched for something more pure, marvelous. ’

‘ she can count on us to guard her. ’

‘ there is a bond between us. can you feel it? ’

‘ believing something does not make it true. ’

‘ choice is the seat of the soul. it is the one gift god granted us. ’

‘ nothing could stop me now. nothing. ’

‘ i gave you everything you wanted! ’

‘ you lied to me. you lied. ’

‘ the achievement felt unnatural. ’

‘ perhaps there is a finer point in me telling you my story. ’

‘ you have to listen to me. you have to listen. ’

‘ you are afraid of me? ’

‘ why would you be afraid of me? ’

‘ i’m not going to hurt you. ’

‘ are you running a fever? ’

‘ you wounded him like that. ’

‘ a leaf? for me? ’

‘ you should not go near it. ’

‘ in those eyes i saw pain, & what is pain, if not evidence of intelligence? ’

‘ what about what you have denied me? ’

‘ your heart? of all the human anatomy, that is the organ furthest from your understanding. ’

‘ only monsters play god. ’

‘ i failed. i made a mistake. ’

‘ keep her in the dark. for her own safety. ’

‘ i have the most terrible feeling... ’

‘ he’s going to kill him. ’

‘ make me save you. ’

‘ in seeking life, i created death. ’

‘ my maker told his tale. now, i will tell you mine. ’

‘ i called your name & understood i was alone. ’

‘ it was no ghost. ’

‘ it was flesh & bone. ’

‘ i longed to be part of this family. ’

‘ i became their invisible guardian. ’

‘ they too extended a small kindness towards me. ’

‘ for a moment, a brief, brief moment, the world & i were at peace. ’

‘ the hunter did not hate the wolf. the wolf did not hate the sheep. ’

‘ violence felt inevitable between them. ’

‘ perhaps, i thought, this was the way of the world. it would hunt & kill you just for being who you are. ’

‘ you do what you must & so will i. ’

‘ with a single step, i entered a different world. one i had only seen from afar. ’

‘ i find it difficult being a good host. ’

‘ are you not from these parts? ’

‘ there is something in your voice which persuades me of your goodwill & kindness. ’

‘ i want to know who i am. ’

‘ i cannot forget what i cannot remember. ’

‘ i know what you are. a good man. & you are my friend. ’

‘ i felt lonelier than ever. ’

‘ envy rose within me & decided to demand a single grace from you. ’

‘ i would demand a companion. ’

‘ all we have is each other. ’

‘ no more lies. ’

‘ come out of the shadows if you are here. ’

‘ i have found sanity at such a cost, & you here are madness calling me back. ’

‘ i cannot die. & i cannot live alone. ’

‘ in you i have created something truly horrible. ’

‘ i am obscene to you, but to myself i simply am. ’

‘ the miracle is not that i should speak, but that you would ever listen! ’

‘ if you are not to award me love, then i will indulge in rage. ’

‘ move away from it! ’

‘ it attacked her! ’

‘ you are the monster. ’

‘ take me with you... ’

‘ i fear you, [name]. i always have. ’

‘ my place was never in this world. ’

‘ i sought & longed for something i could not quite name. ’

‘ to be lost & to be found, that is the lifespan of love. ’

‘ she is gone, & i long to follow. ’

‘ you gave me life unwanted. ’

‘ you thought me a monster. now i return the favor. ’

‘ i will make you bleed. ’

‘ i will make you humble. ’

‘ you may be my creator, but from this day forward, i will be your master. ’

‘ you put your faith in this. ’

‘ now, run. ’

‘ i will bleed. ache. suffer. ’

‘ it will never end. ’

‘ i am sorry. ’

‘ regret consumes me. ’

‘ what hope i had, what rage... it is all nothing. ’

‘ the tide that brought me here now comes to take you away. ’

‘ forgive me. my son. ’

‘ forgive yourself into existence. ’

‘ while you are alive, what recourse do you have but to live? ’

‘ i forgive you. ’

‘ rest now, father. ’

‘ i do so love to sing. ’

‘ birds in the heavens know i love you. ’

‘ thanks for stepping up. ’

‘ that seems like an odd pastime. ’

‘ i’m so blameless i’m choking on it. ’

‘ she’s a wily little thing who began to manipulate you the minute you met. ’

‘ [name], you need to get more sleep. ’

‘ human beings may not be perfect, but we’re better than that. ’

‘ most of us don’t want to watch other people suffer. ’

‘ i make my living entertaining people. ’

‘ i’ll sing you a few bars backstage. ’

‘ did you write that song yourself? ’

‘ none of them can hold a candle to you. ’

‘ she’s playing with fire there. ’

‘ i couldn’t save her. i couldn’t stop the blood. ’

‘ working kept me from freaking out. ’

‘ will she die? ’

‘ you must hate me. you should. i would hate me. ’

‘ don’t leave me to go through this alone! ’

‘ my condolences on the loss of your friend. ’

‘ it’s a difficult day for all of us. ’

‘ i can’t eat today. ’

‘ you’re quite the rebel. ’

‘ enjoy the show! ’

‘ i like your voice. ’

‘ she saved my life, i think. ’

‘ it’s just the kind of story that catches fire. ’

‘ it’s not safe. ’

‘ we’re not safe! ’

‘ you could start by thinking i can actually win. ’

‘ we think of a strategy. ’

‘ you find me a guitar? ’

‘ there’s an empty seat by me. ’

‘ i thought the war was over. ’

‘ it’s not immoral to defend ourselves. ’

‘ i trust your girl. ’

‘ when i was a girl, i fell into your arms. ’

‘ you stole & you gambled & i said you should. ’

‘ just let me remind you who i am to you. ’

‘ for when the bell rings, lover, you’re on your own. ’

‘ now what will you do when i go to my grave? ’

‘ new song? ’

‘ she is a performer, after all. ’

‘ people love a good love song. ’

‘ people are fools. ’

‘ there are a lot of romantics. ’

‘ i loved how it proved me right. ’

‘ i come bearing gifts. ’

‘ i feel more hopeful in the daytime, but when it gets dark, i get so afraid. ’

‘ take me with you. ’

‘ the only boy my heart has a sweet spot for now is you. ’

‘ it will be over quickly. ’

‘ we’re all a mess. ’

‘ you’re monsters! all of you! ’

‘ things will pick up. they have to. ’

‘ i almost feel sorry for him. ’

‘ doesn’t look so tough to me. ’

‘ is the whole city up? ’

‘ i need to stop causing you trouble. ’

‘ what makes you think i could do that? ’

‘ thanks for having our backs! ’

‘ i can walk, no thanks to you! ’

‘ i think i underestimated how much they hate us. ’

‘ i wanted them dead. i wanted every one of them dead. ’

‘ chaos happens. what else is there to say? ’

‘ oh, don’t let him die alone. ’

‘ he declined to comment. ’

‘ you’re heartless. ’

‘ the only thing you are is brave. ’

‘ she’s smarter than she looks. ’

‘ why haven’t you made this public? ’

‘ this is a surprisingly warm welcome for the person who almost destroyed you! ’

‘ some girl will be singing. ’

‘ i should’ve warned you about the birds. ’

‘ kill two birds with one stone. ’

‘ sometimes hungry people need music the most. ’

‘ do you like sweets? ’

‘ you made your choice. ’

‘ just spending some time with my girl. ’

‘ you’re mine & i’m yours. it’s written in the stars. ’

‘ he’s a liar & a louse. ’

‘ this is the price they pay. ’

‘ we’ll just perch here until they shoo us off. ’

‘ i hate to think of them caged up, when they’ve had a taste of freedom. ’

‘ sounds like torture, having someone controlling your voice like that. ’

‘ do you always feel free to speak your mind, [name]? ’

‘ i think you should say what you think. ’

‘ it’s a mystery, sweetheart. just like me. ’

‘ that’s why it’s my song. ’

‘ snakes like it there. ’

‘ maybe my freedom is worth the risk. ’

‘ trust is important. ’

‘ i think trust is more important than love. ’

‘ i love all kinds of things i don’t trust. ’

‘ i trust you, though. ’

‘ [name] feeds on sweet. ’

‘ you been with her, that’s what i’ve heard. ’

‘ i’ll sell you for a song. ’

‘ thought we agreed this was between us. ’

‘ she’s my girl. ’

‘ we’ve got no quarrel with you. ’

‘ always keep that last bullet somewhere safe. ’

‘ you were never here. ’

‘ you’re pure as the driven snow. ’

‘ i told you to run so we'd both be free. ’

‘ no stranger would it be if we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. ’

‘ i’ll miss the music & my pretty birds. ’

‘ i think there’s a natural goodness born into us all. you can either cross that line into evil or not. but it’s our life's work to stay on the right side of that line. ’

‘ you said you killed three people this summer. ’

‘ i killed the old me to come with you. ’

‘ i’m not made of sugar. ’

‘ it’s not too late to work something out. ’

‘ our essential nature is violent. ’
