A TRAGEDY IN THE MAKING.

*   starters  from  the  2014  novel  ‘   you   ’   by  caroline  kepnes .   warnings  for  sex ,   violence ,   stalking ,   &   swearing .

‘  you  blush  and  i  could  love  you .  ’

‘  most  people  would  say  i’m  the  fuckup .  ’

‘  it’s  no  secret  that  most  people  are  fucking  idiots .  ’

‘  he’s  a  pretentious  fuck  and  a  liar .  ’

‘  you  need  an  escort ,  especially  if  you  want  to  dress  like  a  fucking  whore .  ’

‘  i  like  that  you  take  care  of  yourself  instead  of  filling  your  home  and your  pussy  with  a  string  of  inadequate  men .  ’

‘  you’re  a  sweetheart .  you  see  the  best  in  people .  you  complement  me .  ’

‘  who  can  sleep  with  you  in  the  world ?  ’

‘  i  will  take  that  balloon  and  tie  it  around  their  neck  because  who  the  fuck  can  cunt  out  over  a  balloon ?!  ’

‘  the  assholes  are  always  puzzled  when  the  order  of  the  universe  is  restored ,  when  they  are  held  accountable  for  their  cowardly ,  pretentious ,  loveless  ways .  ’

‘  some  guys  are  assholes  and  you  have  to  accept  that .  ’

‘  the  problem  with  books  is  that  they  end .  ’

‘  the  only  thing  crueler  than  a  cage  so  small  that  a  bird  can’t  fly  is  a  cage  so  large  that  a  bird  thinks  it  can  fly .  ’

‘  you  are  not  easily  rescued .  ’

‘  yeah , i  don’t  have  a  yale  degree ,  but  my  bullshit  detector  is  excellent .  top  drawer ,  even .  ’

‘  the  world  fell  out  of  love  with  love  at  some  point .  ’

‘  your  lips  were  made  for  mine .  you  are  the  reason  i  have  a  mouth ,  a  heart .  ’

‘  if  we  were  teenagers ,  i  could  kiss  you .  ’

‘  you  ooze  joy  and  she  is  an  open  wound ,  shrill  and  wan ,  unfucked  and  unloved .  ’

‘  she  knew  she  was  killing  me  and  she  knew  that  i  was  not  the  type  to  go  down  without  a  fight .  ’

‘  i  know  the  power  of  silence .  i  remember  my  dad  saying  nothing  and  i  remember  his  silences  more  vividly  than  i  remember  the  things  he  said .  ’

‘  happiness  is  believing  that  you’re  gonna  be  happy .  it’s  hope .  ’

‘  but  did  you  read  them ,  fuckface ?  ’

‘  if  people  could  handle  their  self - loathing ,  customer  service  would  be  smoother .  ’

‘  the  trouble  with  society  is  that  if  the  average  person  knew  about  us  –  you ,  alone ,  orgasming  three  times  a  night ,  and  me ,  across  the  street ,  watching  you  orgasm ,  alone  –  most  people  would  say  i’m  the  fuckup .  ’

‘  you  are  a  woman  and  i  am  a  man  and  we  belong  in  the  dark  together .  ’

‘  talking  to  you  is  like  traveling  through  time .  ’

‘  the  most  important  thing  i  know  is  that  i  want  the  possibility  of  you  more  than  the  reality  of  her .  ’

‘  my  middle  school  health  teacher  told  us  you  can  only  hold  eye  contact  for  ten  seconds  before  scaring  or  seducing  someone .  ’

‘  eye  contact  is  what  keeps  us  civilized .  ’

‘  love’s  a  marathon ,  not  a  sprint .  ’

‘  well ,  sometimes  you  just  want  to  go  where  it’s  dark ,  you  know ?  ’

‘  some  people ,  it’s  like  they  care  more  about  their  status  updates  than  their  actual  lives .  ’

‘  some  people  on  this  earth  receive  love ,  get  married ,  and  honeymoon  in  cabo .  others  do  not .  some  people  read  alone  on  the  sofa  and  some  people  read  together ,  in  bed .  that’s  life .  ’

‘  don’t  make  a  baby  if  you’re  not  capable  of  unconditional  love .  ’

‘  when  i’m  nervous ,  i  get  nasty .  it’s  a  problem .  ’

‘  that’s  because  every  day  is  the  only  day .  ’

‘  she’s  dead  inside ,  like  a  corpse .  she  instagrams  methodically ,  clinically ,  as  if  she’s  gathering  evidence  for  defense ,  like  her  entire  life  is  dedicated  to  proving  that  she  has a  life .  ’

‘  we’re  too  old  to  be  young .  ’

‘  full  of  disclaimers ,  you’re  like  a  warning  label  on  a  pack  of  cigarettes .  ’

‘  if  you  knew  what  i  went  through  to  get  into  your  home ,  that  i  messed  up  my  back  trying  to  know  you ,  inside  and  out ,  you’d  judge  me  for  it .  ’

‘  when  a  girl  likes  talking  about  you  more  than  talking  to  you ,  well ,  in  my  experience ,  that’s  the  end .  ’

‘  you  grow  through  love .  you  don’t  postpone  love  until  you  stop  growing .  ’

‘  you  know  they’re  all  pussies ,  each  and  every  one  of  ‘em .  ’

‘  most  kids  are  assholes ,  just  like  most  adults .  ’

‘  it’s  like  they  can  smell  the  public  school  on  me .  ’

‘  who  can  sleep  with  you  in  the  world ?  ’

‘  he’s  been  to  rehab ,  which  is  a  travesty  ;  you  can  tell  by  his  smug  face  that  he’s  not  capable  of  genuine  addiction .  ’

‘  there’s  emptiness  in  him  that  can  never  be  filled ,  emptiness  that  dressed  up  well  at  prep  school ,  where  a  lack  of  willpower  is  called  creativity .  ’

‘  what  a  shame  to  be  so  angered  by  what  you  don’t  have  that  you  treat  what  you  do  have  like  it’s  nothing .  ’

‘  i  think  that  all  children  do  better  with  happy  parents  than  married  parents .  ’

‘  brunch ,  a  meal  invented  by  rich  white  chicks  to  rationalize  day  drinking  and  bingeing  on  french  toast .  ’

‘  you  are  a  monster ,  deathly ,  solipsistic  to  the  bone  and  you’re  blasphemous  because  all  you  want  is  you .  ’

‘  is  your  twitter  bio  your  subtle  way  of  announcing  that  you’re  an  attention  whore  who  has  no  standards  and  will  give  an  audience  to  any  poor  schmuck  who  says  hello ?  ’

‘  you  miss  me .  and  i  miss  you .  ’

‘  i  cry  and  watch  pitch  perfect  and  sing  along  with  the  barden  bellas .  i  don’t  want  to  be  a person  who  knows  the  name  of  a  fictional  a  cappella  group  in  a  chick  flick  but  that’s  what  love  has  done  to  me .  ’

‘  it’s  amazing  how  good  50  and  sunny  feels  after  you’ve  been  bleeding  in  12  with a  windchill  of  go  fuck  yourself .  ’

‘  you  want  to  know  what  i  know  and  hear  what  i  like  to  hear .  ’

‘  you  relax  your  arms  and  lower  your  legs  and  when  animals  open  up  like  that ,  they  want  to  fuck .  ’

‘  i’ll  fucking  kill  hugh  grant .  ’

‘  life  isn’t  always  ideal ,  not  for  most  people .  ’

‘  what  makes  us  become  us ?  what  fucks  us  up  and  why ?  ’

‘  i  want  life  to  move  slowly  because  i  want  to  anticipate  you  with  all  my  heart ,  greet  you  with  all  my  heart ,  fuck  you  with  all  my  heart ,  and  miss  you  with  all  my  heart .  ’

‘  i  have  to  laugh  because  i  sound  like  a  greeting  card  but  i  deserve  this ,  you ,  joy .  ’

‘  i  hope  you’ll  ask  me  to  eat  you  out  in  the  bathroom  at  starbucks .  ’

‘  he  cheats  on  you .  a  lot .  compulsively .  ’

‘  it  means  you  covet  me .  maybe  even  more  than  i  realize  since  right  now  your  hand  is  heading  to  your  cunt  yet  again .  ’

‘  you’re  so  clean  that  you’re  dirty .  ’

‘  they’re  in  their  own  world ,  where  good  things  happen ,  a  quarter  mile  and  a  million  light  years  away .  ’

‘  night  moves  don’t  work  in  the  morning .  ’

‘  you  don’t  want  to  be  spanked .  you  want  love .  ’

❝ Being your friend should come with a warning label. ❞

❝ It’s amateurs like you who give kidnapping a bad game. ❞

❝ Are you mansplaining my power? ❞

❝ Emotion isn’t exactly your strong suit. ❞

❝ I don’t believe in heaven or hell, but I do believe in revenge. ❞

❝ Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. ❞

❝ There’s nothing quite like the feeling of being proven right. ❞

❝  Because trust and cooperation have always been the hallmarks of our relationship. ❞

❝  Anytime I grow nauseous at the sight of a rainbow or hear a pop song that makes my ears bleed, I’ll think of you. ❞

❝ I’ve learned so much from you. Part of it is admittedly criminal behavior. ❞

❝ Not hugging is kind of our thing. ❞

❝ When the dance floor calls, you gotta answer. ❞

❝ Typically I have great admiration for well-executed revenge plots, but yours was a bit extreme, even for my high standards.  ❞

❝ Except I won’t cry and whine like a child. ❞

❝ I can’t believe you were in a secret society and didn’t tell me. ❞

❝ You brought a gun to a sword fight. Probably the first smart decision you’ve made today. ❞

❝ Emotion equals weakness. ❞

❝ I find social media to be a soul sucking void of meaningless affirmation. ❞

❝ These are all traits of great writers. And serial killers. ❞

❝ Sometimes I act like I don’t care if people like me. Deep down, I secretly enjoy it. ❞

❝ I like to win. Is that so wrong? ❞

❝ For the record, I don’t believe that I’m better than everyone else, just that I’m better than you. ❞

❝ Use the words ‘little’ and 'girl’ to address me again and I can’t guarantee your safety. ❞

❝ If he breaks your heart, I’ll nail gun his. ❞

❝ You guys are making me nauseous. Not in a good way. ❞

❝ When I look at you, the following emojis come to mind: rope, shovel, hole. ❞

❝ You know the old saying, never bring a knife to a sword fight. Unless it’s concealed. ❞

❝ Secrets are like zombies, they never truly die. ❞

❝ Tears don’t fix anything. So I vowed to never do it again. ❞

❝ Please, flattery will get you nowhere. ❞

❝ I’m not friend material, let alone more-than-friend material. I will ignore you, stomp on your heart, and always put my needs and interests first. ❞

❝ Every day is all about me. This one just comes with cake and a bad song. ❞

❝ Emotions are a gateway trait. They lead to feelings, which trigger tears. I don’t do tears.❞

❝ It’s either they write our story or we do. You can’t have it both ways. ❞

❝ I don’t need your help or your pity. I already have a mother and a therapist. That’s enough torture, even for me. ❞

❝ I don’t bury hatchets. I sharpen them. ❞

help ,  here  —  lend a hand .

just a moment ,  if i may  —

i stand up for sense  &  justice .

do make certain you meet with success .

such a day for such a sad farewell .

this is such a silly game .

be a sport  &  stop complaining !

play along ,  you must .

forgive me ,  i didn’t know .

we haven’t heard your name yet ,  friend .

you need some manners .

if we could speak alone ?

how much have your superiors bothered to tell you ?

you are horribly old - fashioned ,  aren’t you ?

feel free to form your own opinion ,  though it appears you already have .

it seems i’ve made matters worse .

i’ll leave you to your business .

excuse me  …  i should apologize .

is it me ,  or are you this nervous around all women ?

do be a dear  &  tell me all about it .

sounds like an extraordinary place to live a life .

there is no such thing as magic .

to call a person superstitious is to imply they fear magic .

poets have silly notions .

you do believe me now ,  don’t you ?

you need less big words ,  &  more common sense .

what the hell are you doing ?

i am not here for revenge .  i am here to bring justice .

i manage fine alone .

i deserve to help you .  don’t you see how much this means ?

what are you spying on ?

i beg you ,  no more ,  please .

i will not allow it .  i will not !

why was i not told of this ?

you should step outside .

sorry for disturbing you .  i thought a forgotten candle was burning .

having trouble sleeping ?

i have something to show you ,  if you have a moment .

these scars .  how did you get them ?

oh ,  you are hopeless .

i have a gift for you .  true magic which even you will not be able to deny .

are you saying i should be frightened ?

what will it take for you to realize this is no laughing matter ?

don’t be afraid  …  don’t be afraid .

you promised justice .  people have put their trust in you .

why would you do such a thing ?

leave me .  you are not welcome here .

allow me some time .

the things i said to you before  …  i was wrong to say them .

every word you spoke had truth in it .

if you want me to go ,  i will .  do you want me to leave ?

i no longer know what i think or what i feel .

why are you so afraid ?  is there truly such harm in uncertainty ?

i should be going  …  good day to you .

i’m one of the few people who likes you .

i apologize if i worried you .

my god  …  what has happened ?

yes ,  i did notice that ,  thank you .

i am a bad habit .  there’s nothing for it .

don’t let him get you .

lay still ,  [ name ] .  do not move .

i’m drawing bad blood from the wound .

you were half - drowned when they found you .

i serve a fine purpose alive .

midnight seems an appropriate time .

hide in my room  &  bolt the door til i return .

i was getting worried .

do you have anything to clean it with ?

i know you saw me .

i know you followed me last night .

i appreciate your concern .

you are so upset now  …  &  yet ,  you seemed in such good spirits last night .

why have i not seen your face for so long ?

i have been reading your journal .

what would you have me believe ?

if you think i am behind this ,  say it .

call me a liar ,  then ,  &  a  murderer .

what is stopping you ?  what has happened to your ability to transcend sentimentality ?

don’t dare stand looking as if you still care for me ,  after all that you have said .

if i were to confess ,  would that ease your suffering ?  would that make it easier for you to hate me ?

the next person to lay hands on me will have a bullet .

you do not know all that has happened .

why  …  why are you like this ?

to hell with this place  &  all the people here .

won’t you change your mind ?  what can i say to convince you ?

take me with you .  there’s nothing left for me here .

forgive me .  i failed you .

you  …  you’re alive .

no one will believe your lies .

i am not going to kill you .  not me  …
