if you’re looking for something specific, i might be able to help.

it’s not as easy as people think.

what on earth are you doing here?

i could point you in the right direction.

feel like grabbing dinner?

is that the answer you wanted?

fortunately i don’t mind a smushed cake, so long as it still tastes like cake.

feels like you might be lying.

you’re alive. you listened to me.

i don’t agree with what you said back there.

i like you too much to hurt a single hair on your head.

we should have gone the other way.

we’re a team. we’re in this together.

we can sneak out the back.

i should have listened to you.

i couldn’t have done this without you.

are you implying we have more than one killer on the loose?

you don’t look startled to see a dead body.

can’t promise i won’t bash his face in.

i want to hear all about your adventures.

thank god you said yes to getting food.

was that supposed to make things better?

i’ll let you sleep after this. you can rest.

i’m so happy to see you, but i take it something went terribly wrong if you’re here.

am i the only thrilling part of your life?

sorry if this hurts.

i thought you were going for a swim.

you have come into my life when i needed you most.

you should probably clean yourself up a bit.

are you asking if i’m lucky in love?

i’d like to hear your truth.

we should talk to them.

perfectly all right if you’d rather not talk about it.

i’ll deal with my heartbreak later.

you seem totally unaffected by my misery… and, honestly, good for you.

some find that ridiculously annoying.

notice how no one gives a damn.

it makes me very happy to hear that.

you’re the smart one here, after all.

if you’re not eager for company, i understand.

how angry will you be if i insist on carrying you?

it’s okay to lean on a friend at a time like this.

you are glowing in this light.

it’s not your first time, either, huh.

maybe there’s hope for you yet.

do you remember what it was like?

would you dance with me? i promise not to step on your toes.

do i look okay? not too bloody or beaten?

i think i’m gonna be sick.

you’re easy to love.

don’t you look lovely.

you are so very lucky i love you so.

i recommend everything on the menu.

this sounds worse than i thought.

we deserve the opposite of pain.

i can get you to safety.

some fresh air might be nice.

of course you’re on the top floor.

humor me. what are you drinking?

did we lose them?

i can be pretty intimidating.

where did you learn how to do this so well?

you can save my ass again, right?

how much did you see?

can’t believe we’ve got the whole place to ourselves.

you need to be quick if you want to save their life.

if you were out causing problems, there’s no judgement.

i’m good at keeping secrets! i’ll shut my mouth!

does any of that make sense?

i can’t do this. i can’t let you go.

you look like the mysteries of the universe have sustained you.

you have to promise me you won’t give up on that dream of yours.

you’ve got really bad timing.

they’ll expect you downstairs soon.

are you all right? you just look… off.

i never understood people who don’t take you seriously from the start.

you should probably call the police.

let’s bug his office.

what am i supposed to do without you?

i think i enjoy your company too much to actually kill you.
