â Â the wider the smile, the bigger the lie. Â â
â Â itâs called a reputation. you should try having one. Â â
â Â if only you were the one calling the shots, you would already have the city at your feet. Â â
â Â seems like youâve got a real problem with authority. Â â
â Â well, then itâs a good thing iâm on your side then, huh? Â â
â Â youâre starting to remind me of me. Â â
â Â only people who know me real well can use my real name. Â â
â Â hope thatâs it for last requests. not sure i can handle more. Â â Â Â
â Â look at me - see this? this is a look of un-fucking-surprise on my face. Â â
â Â actually, i donât think of you at all. ever. Â â
â Â wanna part ways on good terms. as friends. Â â
â  listen, i know i fucked up a lot of things. either let down or used every last person who gave me their trust. â
â  been a rough yearâŠand to make things worse, i fell in love.  â
â Â funny how you still manage to surprise me sometimes. Â â
â Â havenât managed to get my head straight yet, not after everything that happened. Â â
â Â hey, look at me. right in the eyes. choose your next words carefully. might be the last choice you ever make. Â â
â Â iâm a master of cuddling, too - got a black belt, multiple disciplines. Â â
â  tshâŠgonna miss you something awful.  â
â Â here come the test results: you are a horrible person. Â â
â  there is a saying in your country⊠one moment, it will come to meâŠah now i remember! go fuck yourself.  â
â Â you need anything, iâm here. Â â
â Â wanna see me give up? sounds like something youâd do. Â â
â Â iâm sorry, do you hear me poking around your personal business? digging through your past? Â â
â Â what you did for me, iâll never forget it. Â â
â Â itâs hard to believe, but it looks like everythingâs gonna be alright. Â â
â Â you ainât dying yet. i got you. Â â
â Â see ya in the next life, friend. Â â
â Â i allowed my temper to flare and for that i apologize. even i can get carried away at times. Â â
â  shame. was starting to like you⊠ â
â Â iâm just glad your mother didnât live to see this. the heart should break but once. Â â
â Â there are not many like you, but without you the world would have long turned into shadows and dust. Â â
â Â you put a barrel to my skull not so long ago. Â â
â Â thereâs a difference between being an idiot and believing people wanna do good. Â â
â Â you plot, you plan, you calculate, and weave webs so tangled you sometimes lose yourself in them. Â â
â Â iâm a serious man. and serious matters are what, if not all, that concern me. Â â
â Â youâre tough as nails. a warrior without mercy. Â â
â iâve managed one thing for now. not to fuck this up⊠what we have.  â
â Â you got a short fuse, sure, but there ainât no dynamite in that soul. Â â
â Â really think i can make it? survive this? Â â
â  if thereâs nothing you can do to help me, thenâŠwhat the hell do i do?  â
â Â iâll kill anyone who gets in my way. you included. Â â
â Â if they find us, they wonât bother with arresting and interrogating, do you understand? Â â
â Â everyone admires you, but you know that your only reward will be the next task youâre given. Â â
â  just donât fall in love with me⊠ â
â Â promise youâll try to get some sleep? Â â
â Â it often seems that youâre on your own, but always remember you have a team you can count on. Â â
â Â whatever youâre planning, make sure you see it through to the end. Â â
â Â it can get tough when it feels like thereâs no end to it in sight. Â â
â Â i donât need this world anymore, but i need you. Â â
â Â it doesnât matter how well you do something, as long as you look good doing it. Â â
â Â i always felt like my mission was to cross the ultimate frontier. that frontier is death. Â â
â Â something in me died back then. i just couldnât handle it. Â â
â Â would you take a bullet for me? Â â
â  what, a little guilt creeps in and thatâs that? you give up? â
â  itâs an awful placeâŠit is no wonder you are losing your mind. â
â  i realize youâre there, always were, and a wave of relief washes over me. â
â  remember when you were asked: quiet life or blaze of glory? shame you chose wrong. â
â  ooooooooh, i get whatâs going on here. youâre jealous. â
â Â think dangerous; be dangerous. think weak; be weak. Â â
â Â itâs true what they say. youâre good. really fucking good. got a stick up your ass, through. Â â
â  hah. my mind. thatâsâŠthatâs a touchy subject.  â
â Â you know what, sweetheart? weâll have plenty of time to tear at each otherâs throats later. Â â
â  i have to sit and thinkâŠabout everything.  â
â Â no really, itâs ok. it just scraped me. Â â
â Â a peaceful death in this town? guy won the jackpot. Â â
â Â sorry you had to witness that. things just get complicated sometimes. Â â
â Â who you work for? start talking! Â â
â  well, wellâŠ.looks like fortune favors the stupid, too.  â
â Â dayâs not over yet. you still have a chance to piss me off. Â â
â Â whatâs free comes most costly. Â â
â Â sometimes two people find themselves at the wrong place at the right time. Â â
â  iâm in this city, free to do whatever i want with my life, butâŠam i really free?  â
â Â i sense anything going wrong, iâm out. Â â
â Â drop by if you ever want to talk. or if you donât we can just sit together in silence. either way, iâm here for you. Â â
â Â iâm nobody, iâm a zero. Â â
â Â you know, i still got that contract to kill you. Â â
â Â have you known love? do you know what it is? Â â
 â  talked in your sleep, you know.  â
â  tsomeoneâŠsomeone should give you a checkup, see if youâre ok. someone you trust.  â
â Â goodbye, and please - stay away. youâve done enough already. Â â
â Â one thing we canât do is be afraid of others. Â â
â Â that the pick-up line you settled on? Â â
â  rightâŠso, gonna stop by? or gonna make me grovel?  â
â  iâve missed you, you know, heh⊠ â
â Â it seems all good, like nothing bad ever happened. Â â
â  iâŠi was angryâŠi mustâve lost control.  â
â  you ever wake up in the middle of the nightâŠand not know who you were for a secondâŠ? you ever feel like you werenât really âyouâ?  â
â Â here i feared youâd forgotten about me. Â â
â Â all right. you know why weâre here, donât you? say you do. Â â
â  you donât realize it, butâŠyouâve given me something beautiful.  â â  iâm really starting to feel like your puppet.  â
â Â if you wanted my attention, you just earned it. Â â
â Â the stronger survive. youâre either somebody or you fizzle out into nothing. Â â
â Â now answer my question. honestly. forthrightly. are you here alone? Â â
â Â my whole lifeâs a fucking cosmic joke. Â â
â  i know that it might seem like youâre trying to help, but iâd rather that you just left us aloneâŠotherwise things wonât end well.  â
â  so you can be nice when you feel like it. â
â Â itâs always good to have the strength of others to support you too. Â â
 â  youâre worth more than you think. trust me.  â
â Â talked in your sleep, you know. Â â
â Â well, i slept like a puppy. thatâs a crazy shoulder you have there. Â â
â Â is that a quiver in your voice i hear? Â â
â Â what makes someone a criminal? getting caught. Â â
â Â the only limit to what you can do is what youâre willing to do. Â â
â Â you only have to look at you. a venomous spider wearing the mask of a nice lady. but i will not be fooled. Â â
â Â ugh, trust issues, again? thought weâd talked it all out. Â â
â  what the fuck is going on? i feel like iâm not in control of anything anymore⊠ â
â Â sorry, but, iâd rather be alone right now. Â â
â Â remember, a while back, you told me to give you a solid kick in the pants if i saw you diving into the stupid pool again? Â â
â Â sit your ass down a minute, honey, and breathe. Â â
â Â lately i feel like iâve been ranting and raging, so i just want to make sure you know i appreciate what you did for me. Â â
â Â iâll just lie here a while, by your side, gazing at the stars. Â â
â Â when the time comes, it will be my life for yours. Â â
â  how did we grow so far apart? â
â Â no more mayhem, no more shady-ass schemes. done with that. Â â
â Â say it. say it out loud. not for me, but for yourself. Â â
â Â a pathetic attempt to get under my skin. Â â
â Â i loathe it - this whole âplaying tough in the face of deathâ thing. Â â
â Â the road to the stars is always paved with darkness. Â â
â  wait up! donât do this. you can still change your mind. â
â dammit, no matter how hard i try, i canât forget you⊠ â
â plenty of others out thereâre more deservinâ of life. but even so⊠iâd never wish you dead.  â
â Â truth is everythingâs going off the rails. i feel worse and worse. Â â
â Â iâm nowhere near as tough as you and i canât pretend to be anymore. Â â
â Â you donât seriously think iâll just up and leave you? iâm with you - through thick and thin. Â â
â Â iâd say iâm happy to see you, but itâs not good to lie. Â â
â Â iâll get us through this, youâll see. Â â
â Â iâm just happy, like, dumb happy, you know? youâre really amazing. Â â
â Â youâre playing with fire. donât dare cross the line. Â â
â Â iâm afraid things wonât be the same between us if i tell you the whole truth. Â â
â Â do you even know what i had to sacrifice to get where i am? the price i paid? Â â
â Â your first time here, isnât it? want some advice? go the fuck away. Â â
â Â when someone tells me to not worry, theyâre usually hiding something. Â â
â Â itâs not easy talking about whatâs biting me at the ass. Â â
â Â just promise me one thing: donât forget me. Â â
â Â legends - know where youâll find most of them? the graveyard. Â â
â Â ah, you try to provoke me. is this wise, you think? Â â
â Â i can lead others away from the darkness. Â â
â Â the more i say everythingâs okay, the more i feel like iâm straight up lying. Â â
â  you need to take a few deep breaths. then rethink all this, hard..  â
â you can call me back. do you know why? because i am here for you.  â
â whyâd you wanna meet me here? for the view, or you turning sentimental on me? â
â Â know what? think i figured you out. Â â
â  if not for youâŠiâd be long dead. several times over.  â
â  youâre adorable. didnât realize you still had a child-like imaginationâŠand intelligence.  â
â Â death walks in your wake. Â â
â Â just trying to live with it. survive, actually. Â â
â Â the world doesnât forgive. it easts people alive. but you - well, you survived. Â â
â Â everyone iâve met so far says iâm far too gone. Â â
â Â hey, come on, youâre not the one at blame here. Â â
â Â donât make the same mistake i made. say goodbye to the people you love. Â â
 â  well, arenât you just bursting with a can-do attitude?  â
