Win or Die

do you remember what i told you last time?

have you been doing well since i saw you?

that's not what you told me back then.

when was the last time i saw you?

you were shorter then.

i'm picking the restaurant this time.

we've known each other since we were children.

always knew i could count on you.

that time was different. this is worse.

you're not going to let me live that down, are you?

i seem to remember a conversation we had back then.

so you changed your mind about it?

do you remember our encounter in paris?

you should know me by now.

am i the only one that knows the truth?

we had a lot of help back then.

your mom told me to look out for you.

you just love bringing that back up to annoy me.

maybe don't mention my past indescretions?

this was never going to work out between us.

i told you not to get attached.

i know more about you than you think.

i was there, remember?

i'm not about to forget all the shit you put me through.

you told me you were going to try and make this work.

remember what i said to you?

the last time i saw you, things were good between us.

you never mentioned this before.

that was the longest flight of my life, and you made it worse.

can i still trust you after all that?

at least we tried to make something work.

we never discussed what happened between us.

okay, but i'm driving the car this time.

i haven't forgotten what you said last week.

i'm still thinking about your comment.

i didn't realize it was you when i first saw you.

you seem to make a lot of enemies around here.

there's not much for us to talk about.

we worked it out last time.

i know you far better than you know yourself.

we have a long history.

is that the shirt you were wearing last time?

what don't i know about you?

i haven't told them about us.

you were the only person i could go to.

you know me.

this is bigger than both of us.

i can't stand your driving.

are you taking me to the place we had dinner last time?

that's not at all what you said.

didn't we agree on that?

i thought i made it very clear where i stand.

are these the same people that came after you last time?

are you still going on about it?

can we talk about it?

staying silent about it won't help.

you're the only person who knows the real me.

We  spend  so  much  time  hiding  who  we  really  are,  making  sure  no  one  sees  the  person  we  truly  want  to  be.

It's  hard  to  remember  there  was  a  time  when  we  were  truly  excited  to  show  the  world  our  true  face.

I  remember  my  first  war  council  meeting,  they  were  smaller  affairs  back  then.

We've  been  playing  catch-up  for  too  long.  I  think  it's  time  for  a  new  strategy.

I'll  need  all  the  resources  at  my  disposal,  no  matter  how  minimal.

Of  course  I  welcome  your  assistance...  in  fact,  I  expect  it.

Do  you  know  what  the  punishment  for  mutiny  is?

He  doesn't  care  what  we've  had  to  sacrifice,  because  he's  never  had  to  sacrifice  anything.

You  couldn't  have  always  been  this  way.  What  happened  to  you?

Are  you  seriously  gonna  let  this  spineless  slug  tell  us  what  to  do?

For  the  last  three  years,  we've  only  had  each  other,  and  that's  still  true.

You're  supposed  to  be  men  of  peace!

They  all  want  something,  and  they're  all  willing  to  fight  to  get  it.

If  you  ask  anyone  here,  they'll  tell  you,  "he  may  be  a  prince,  but  he's  not  our  prince."

Then  you  shall  burn  along  with  the  rest  of  the  nonbelievers.

I  thought  you  would  come  to  seek  my  advice  sooner.

We  share  the  same  spark,  but  we  are  our  own  people.

We  can  try  to  solve  the  world's  problems  without  hurting  anyone,  but  there  are  consequences  if  we  fail.

The  pendant  belonged  to  the  Mother  of  Faces,  an  ancient  spirit  who  crafted  faces  for  all  living  beings.

People  are  depending  on  me.  You  don't  know  what's  at  stake.

If  you're  smart,  you  just  sit  back  and  wait  for  the  dust  to  clear  and  then  pick  through  broken  pieces  for  the  leftovers.

As  far  as  I'm  concerned,  world's  just  fine  the  way  it  is.

Do  you  know  what  it's  like  to  have  people  depending  on  you?  To  have  someone's  life  in  your  hands?

If  you  send  them  into  the  heart  of  their  forces,  how  will  they  retreat?

Little  boys  should  know  better  than  to  play  at  war.

Attacking  it  would  be  suicide.  Entire  armies  have  tried  and  failed.

Going  there  would  violate  your  banishment.

Right  now,  [Name]  has  the  upper  hand.  But  sooner  or  later,  he'll  make  a  mistake,  and  that's  when  we  can  make  our  move.

If  I  were  you,  I'd  be  thinking  less  about  my  past  and  more  about  my  future.

We  are  the  loyal  sons  and  daughters  of  fire.

This  is  just  the  first  step.  There  will  be  mighty  battles  to  be  fought.

We  can't  go  anywhere.  Not  with  those  soldiers  still  out  there.

Of  course.  It's  what  everyone  expects  of  me.

Compassion!?  Compassion  is  a  sign  of  weakness.

The  doctor  is  creating  a  special  herbal  balm  just  for  you.

You  must  purge  that  weakness  out  of  you.  You  must  be  willing  to  give  up  the  weak  to  make  yourself  strong.

Sometimes  the  weak  can  become  stronger.  Sometimes  you  just  have  to  give  them  a  chance.

It's  amazing  how  far  we'll  go  to  hide  our  true  selves  from  the  world.

I'm  not  going  to  ask  you  where  you  went,  but  in  the  future,  I  would  appreciate  it  if  you  let  me  know  whether  or  not  you're  still  alive.

Perhaps  it's  because  we  don't  want  people  to  know  how  much  they  really  mean  to  us.

The  truth  is,  we  would  do  anything  for  those  we  love.  We'd  travel  incredible  distances...  risk  our  lives.  Even  fight  monsters.

But  I  suppose  it  can  be  scary  to  admit  you  need  people.  Some  might  see  that  as  a  weakness,  a  liability.

After  all,  what  greater  pain  is  there  than  losing  someone  you  love

After  all,  what  greater  pain  is  there  than  losing  someone  you  love?  Or  is  it  worse;  finding  out  someone  you  love  has  left  you  behind?

I  guess  that's  why  we  feel  the  need  to  hide  away  and  protect  ourselves.  So  we  put  on  a  mask,  it's  not  hard  to  understand  why.

What's  hard  is  knowing  that  sometimes...  the  mask  you  put  on  is  who  you  really  are.
