saying 'please' over and over won't change my mind.

please? ... pretty please?

please don't make me beg.

please tell me i'm wrong.

“ to know me is to hate me is to hate what i've become; it's to watch me as i'm fallin' from that ladder's last rung. it's to feel it like a secret you can't keep in. i'm not the way i was [ ... ] it's to have it in your hands, the one thing you wanted all your life; it's all mine. ”

So, we keep headin' east? Stay out of the big cities?

What took you so long? What did you do?

There's no such thing as monsters. You were just having a bad dream.

They came out of my closet, and then they were in the shadows.

You mind dropping me off on the way in?

What do you got going today, [name]?

[Name] is going to be a little late this morning.

Hey, who's the craziest [woman/man/person] you ever dated?

I woke up one night, [he/she/they] stuck a goddamn fork in my shoulder.

Doing violence to me just seems pointless and cruel, don't you think?

You know, sometimes, you depress me.

You should go kick his ass.

Can I just say how sick I am of this town and the goddamn people who live in 'em?

Do you think if you keep saying that it's actually going to change anything?

Now, if you haven't got a better idea, I don't want to hear about it anymore.

You can go home now, [Name]. Let me handle this.

Let's show this asshole we mean business.

I'm telling you, those peope were .. they were going to kill us.

[He/She/They] a hero…in conjunction with several murders in those states.

Are you as sick of hearing about me as I am?

Look. Your picture's in the paper.

Can I ask you ... a question? How did it feel when you saw the gun pointed directly at you?

Were you surprised, though, by your own reaction to the situation?

I mean, anybody would have done that. It was just…It was a terrible thing.

I think we'll all be better off when we get past it.

I hope there won't be too much more of that shit.

This will all blow over as soon as they find some other hot story.

Look at this, more reporters!

Now there's some car parked across the road. They're just sitting there...

They don't look like reporters...

I really don't like talking about it. We're trying to get back to normal here.

They don't drink coffee. It doesn't agree with them…

Sorry. Did.. did we know each other?

Come on, [Name]. Cut the crap.

What is that supposed to mean?

Well, whatever you want to call it, this conversation is over.

What are you doing? Who are you calling?

Is there some problem I should know about?

He's suspected in half a dozen murders and more disappearances..

[Name], these guys are from organized crime!

They're the real thing. They're bad men.

I have to ask you a question. Are you in some kind of Witness Protection plan?

This is no laughing matter, [name]!

I've done some research on this, but I didn't find anything.

Men like this come to our town and start harassing you, we have to take them seriously.

Do you want a piece of pie or something?

It's good to know you're watching out for us.

The shotgun, [name]. Get the shotgun!

Who's coming to the house? Are you serious!?

You're not losing your mind. You've been through some serious trauma.

How could I forget? You all right?

I'll speak to you afterwards, all right?

What kind of false alarm?

Some mob guys showed up at the diner. They saw me on TV, and they came by to take a look at me.

They thought…I was somebody else.

I guess they don't like this guy they think you are.

I guess they want to kill this guy they think you are?

You came running back here to save us?

Now, look what I just found.

Don't ever do that again, OK?

You stay the fuck away from my family, you son of a bitch.

Listen to me. I don't know what you want, and I don't really care.

[He/She/They] wouldn't know you, somebody like you.

How come [he/she/they] so good at killing people?

I mean, actually killing someone?

So, your old man's some kind of tough guy, huh?

He doesn't mean shit. Let's just go.

I bet your daddy would be real ashamed by you.

Come here. Are you laughin'? Are you laughin' now!?

What the hell were you thinking?

That's no excuse! You stand up to him but you don't put him in the hospital!

Honestly? It's the best thing anyone could've done to him.

There could be assault charges. We can't afford that!

Listen, we do not solve our problems by hitting people!

I already took care of it. Went down to the courthouse, got a restraining order.

At least we could have [him/her/them] arrested if [he/she/they] ever comes around here again.

Well, I don't think they are interested in examining my DNA.

We just want you to come for a little trip with us, down memory lane.

Put the gun down. Put it down, [name].

You see how cozy it can be when you decide to play nice?

Get in the car. We'll take care of everything.

I think it'd be better if you'd just leave now.

You got anything to say before I blow your brains out?

What do you think you heard?

It's not what I heard. It's what I saw.

I saw a killer.. the one they warned me about.

Did you do it for money, or did you do it because you enjoyed it?

It's like flipping a switch back and forth for you?

I spent [number] years becoming [fake name].

I wasn't really born again until I met you. I was nothing.

I can't believe this is fucking happening!

Did you just make that up? Where did that name come from?

What am I supposed to call you now!?

[Name], I got a problem. Want to come inside for a minute?

Well, it's just that…None of this makes any sense.

I mean, they wouldn't have come out here, exposed themselves like this, unless they were dead certain they had the right person.

I'm saying I think I need to hear the truth.

Hey, [name]. You're still pretty good with the killing.

Are you going to come to see me? Or do I have to come see you?

I never felt the urge again, you know?

Keeping it quiet. It's not worth the effort.

You could've called. What'd you think would happen?

What am I going to do with you? You bust up a made man's place. You killed some of his guys...

I knew, you were always the crazy one.

You've been this other person, almost as long as you've been yourself.

You know you cost me a lot of time and money.

I had to clean up your mess, or nothing was ever going to happen for me.

There's a certain lack of respect, a certain lack of trust.

You were always been a problem for me, [name].

I've heard that story. Better late than never?

I'm here to make peace. Tell me what I got to do to make things right.

You could do something, I guess. You could die.

How do you fuck that up?

SETTINGS.

[01.] finding privacy in a cramped dressing room.

[02.] cramming into the backseat of a car together.

[03.] slipping into the lonesome alleyway behind the bar for "time alone".

[04.] pulling them away from a party after hours of relentless teasing.

[05.] getting handsy under the table at a fancy dining establishment.

[06.] taking the long way home and pulling over on a dark stretch of road.

[07.] staying behind at the venue after everyone else has left.

[08.] the hotel room door barely clicks shut before hands are on them.

[09.] a tent in the middle of nowhere where no one can hear anything.

NEW TERRITORY.

[10.] finding yourself staring at their mouth and getting caught.

[11.] pulling back from a kiss to look at them, then immediately going back in.

[12.] memorizing the shape of them for the first time with your palms.

[13.] that exploratory first kiss, reserved and shy.

[14.] a gentle first kiss that morphs into intense want.

[15.] feeling the shape of their body through their clothes.

[16.] asking for permission to remove one of their garments.

[17.] finally succumbing to the thick tension & colliding feverishly.

[18.] fumbling with buttons or zippers because your hands won't stop shaking.

[19.] admitting out loud that you've been thinking about this for a while.

HEATING UP.

[20.] pulling them into your lap in the midst of a heated kiss.

[21.] discovering that they're wearing [ GEAR / LINGERIE ] under their clothes.

[22.] kissing away from their lips, down the length of their neck.

[23.] desperately grinding on them through layers of clothing.

[24.] dirty talking directly into their ear to turn them on even further.

[25.] pushing them onto a piece of furniture before straddling them.

[26.] lifting them onto the countertop while making out.

[27.] tugging their hair to expose more of their throat to your mouth.

[28.] the wrecked way they say your name for the first time.

[29.] fabric tearing because neither of you has the patience for buttons.

[30.] removing an obstacle of clothing with your teeth.

UNRAVELING.

[31.] biting down on their shoulder to muffle how good it feels.

[32.] the sound they make when you find the spot that undoes them.

[33.] begging without any trace of pride left and meaning every word.

[34.] their composure cracking for the first time, they finally stop holding back.

[35.] repeating "don't stop" like it's the only language left in their mouth.

[36.] leaving possessive marks in places only they'll see.

[37.] whispering "look at me" right before you take them apart.

[38.] trying to be quiet and failing, so they clamp a hand over your mouth.

[39.] flipping positions so fast neither of you remembers who initiated it.

[40.] their nails dragging down your back hard enough to sting later.

[41.] being told to open your mouth and doing it before the sentence is finished.

[42.] having your hands pinned above your head.

[43.] the desperate scramble to get closer when there is no closer to get.

COMING DOWN.

[44.] fingers lazily tracing the marks they just left on your skin.

[45.] pulling the blanket over both of you without being asked.

[46.] that silent, dazed smile when they catch your eye across the pillow.

[47.] the shaky laugh when neither of you can remember where your shirt is.

[48.] going to get water and bringing a glass back for them without asking.

[49.] lying chest to chest, feeling their heartbeat slow back down against yours.

[50.] the quiet "hey" that means something completely different now.

[51.] "come here" said softly — not urgently. just wanting them close again.
