Build my gallows high, baby.

❛  I want us to be able to say what’s true. I want us – it to be. I want it to be … real. Do you think we could do that?  ❜

❛  They don’t care. They don’t care what happens to any of us.  ❜

❛  I’ve been thinking about you. About us. I miss you.  ❜

❛  I’m sorry I didn’t kill you. That’s my apology.  ❜

❛  I made a terrible mistake. Terrible mistake. So many things have gone wrong for us.  ❜

❛  I do everything for you. I do my best.  ❜

❛  I know you better than you know yourself. And, you don’t know me at all.  ❜

❛  I would never do anything to hurt you. You know that.  ❜

❛  This isn’t going to go well for you.  ❜

❛  We can’t undo this, I can’t undo this. But I can help. I can help. I can make this go away.  ❜

❛  I think you owe me more than an apology.  ❜

❛  I only have fear. And, you.  ❜

❛  They kill us. We kill them. That’s the world that we live in.  ❜

❛  How are we going to live like this? We’ll get used to it. Like we got used to everything else.  ❜

❛  I have never… wanted too much, really. I just wanted to live for something, and I’ve done that.  ❜

❛  Keep a tiger as a pet, it’s still a tiger.  ❜

❛  Come home.  ❜

❛  You have no armor, nothing to protect you – except your wits, your courage, and your beauty. How is it possible you’re here?  ❜

❛  I’m glad that you told me. I am. I have to know everything. Even if it’s hard.  ❜

❛  First there are no choices and now there are no good choices. I’d say we’re making progress.  ❜

❛  I’m supposed to tell you I forgive you.  ❜

❛  Nobody sane would do this work.  ❜

❛  It wasn’t your fault.  ❜

❛  I’m just trying to find something good in all of this.  ❜

❛  I guess you never really know a person, do you?  ❜

❛  I missed you every day.  ❜

❛  And maybe its not so hard to deceive with the eyes, the smile, the things we say. But the body– those parts of the body that can love, they want to tell the truth. When we train them to lie, that’s hard on the soul.  ❜

❛  I’m not one of the martyrs, and if I live, then maybe one day I’ll see… They only have my  body. You understand?  ❜

❛  I haven’t told anyone. I won’t.  ❜

❛  That’s what evil people tell themselves when they do evil things.  ❜

❛  My soul is fine. How is yours?  ❜

❛  I need to know the truth. I don’t care what it is, but if you love me, if you really love me, then just please tell me.  ❜

❛  I’m not stupid. I know there’s something going on.  ❜

❛  You want to be a grown-up? Being a grown-up means doing things you don’t want to do all the time. It means working when you are exhausted, and almost never getting what you want when you want it.  ❜

❛  I wanted you to know that I’m more like you than you think.  ❜

❛  You gave me another chance. But I ruined that, too.  ❜

❛  It is happening. It is just happening. I am doing it – with or without you.  ❜

❛  I wasn’t pretending with you.  ❜

❛  I’m not here to be saved. Not by you, not by anyone.  ❜

❛  One mistake. That’s all it takes.  ❜

❛  You have to lie to tell a greater truth.  ❜

❛  Don’t you understand that, after all these years? I would… I would go to jail, I would die, I would lose everything before I would betray my country.  ❜

❛  They shouldn’t ask us to do impossible things.  ❜

Angry

“Make me.”

“I dare you.”

“Bite me.”

“You think you can just run that pretty mouth of yours whenever you want?!”

“Wanna bet?”

“If you complain that it’s hot one more time, I’m going to give you a reason to sweat.”

“Prove it.”

“What’s in it for me?”

“If you bite your lip one more time, I’m going to do it for you.”

“Oh, well fuck me, then.”

“Shut up!”

“Yell at me again, and I’ll give you a real reason to scream.”

Flirty

“I wish we weren’t out in public…”

“Wow, you’re really strong.”

“Wanna go for a ride?”

“You sure can’t keep your hands to yourself…”

“Ah, I think I need a new bed.”

“Can you help me with my tie?” / “Can you zip up my dress for me?”

“You have really nice fingers…”

“Are we going downtown?”

“You should come by my place…I’ll give you the grand tour.”

“That outfit looks good on you. But, you’d also look good without the outfit.”

“What do you wear to bed?”

Awkward

“Do you have to eat it like that?”

“Uhm–t-those shorts look tight–”

“Hey, stop biting your lip…”

“Wha–is that a banana in your pocket?”

“You’re standing a little close to me…”

“Hey–you’ve got a little something on your face–”

“My keys are in my pocket. Can you get them for me?”

“Help me find the D? I mean, the variable–i-it’s math…”

“I just wanna grab your bu–hand. Grab your hand.”
