â there is something wrong with me. an emptiness. â
â you werenât listening to me. itâs like your mind is somewhere else. â
â do you think i like taking orders? â
â you shoot, i dodge. â
â you guys can never aim for shit. â
â can you please just say it normal? â
â how long has it been, huh? a year? â
â so you⌠you feel fulfilled? â
â look around you. iâm miserable. â
â the light inside you is dim even by eastern european standards. â
â i've just been wondering, you know, like, what⌠is the point? in any of this? â
â the point of work is fame and fortune. fortune buys friends, and love, and a lot of cool clothes. â
â why do you have this photo out? â
â iâll make you something. â
â yeah, this just isnât working for me anymore. â
â i need you to follow the target inside and find out what she intends to steal. â
â youâre not even my target. â
â iâm not here for you. â
â i know who you are and what youâre doing. â
â youâre working me. youâre trying to get me on your side. â
â you say you know who i am, so you know my story. and you know i didnât have a choice who i worked for. but you do. â
â itâs my business card. in case you need some help or you wanna share some secret hidden evidence. â
â iâm not sure whatâs happening here, but youâre all exhausting and my job is done, so... â
â god only knows the blood on your hands. â
â pretty ludicrous coming from the dimestore captain america. â
â that was funny. thank you. we needed that. â
â it was getting so tense in here for a second. â
â all right, um⌠tie yourselves up. â
â next time, why donât you just text me like a normal person? â
â we donât need to go rogue in the darkness, or whatever you people do. â
â what exactly are we looking for? â
â weâre looking for not stupid questions. â
â hey. didnât think youâd come back. thanks. â
â no, iâm fine. iâm fine. â
â you do not seem fine. â
â yeah, well, weâve only just met. this is⌠this is how i am. â
â well, you guys should just go without me. itâll be easier. â
â we all feel like shit sometimes. and loneliness, i get that. and that that darkness gets... pretty enticing. â
â you shove it way down. you just... push it down. â
â letâs just stick together until we make it to the surface, and after that, you can start a fight with a super soldier. get yourself killed. i donât care. â
â so, none of us fly? what, do we all just punch and shoot? â
â you do not want to start the whole sob story game. i win. â
â well, you were just a kid, so⌠â
â i just think it might be nice to know that you didnât really know any better. â
â cucumber, cucumber, cucumber. â
â growing up, somebody told me that you can stop a sneeze if you confuse your brain. i always just yelled âcucumber.â â
â youâre the boss now? cute. â
â anyone else have any pointless childhood stories to tell? â
â i will fight. you stay behind me. â
â iâve always had these episodes since i was a kid. thereâs a high, then thereâs a big low, and then my memory just goes blank. â
â you were right, she definitely wants us dead. â
â this has the makings of a team that can raise to glory. a team that can bring light from the darkness. a team of heroes that can be on the wheaties box and have little kiddie toy⌠â
â letâs just forget about them, and letâs focus on you. and how perfect you are. â
â isnât that what you want? to be accepted? to be chosen? â
â no one else sees it, but i do. and i think maybe your past is what makes you so perfect. â
â look, iâve been where you are. you can run, but it doesnât go away. sooner or later it catches up to you, and when it does, itâs too late. so you can either do something about it now, or live with it forever. â
â you want to be good? or do you want to be somebody who changes the world? â
â you can do anything. â
â i'm the only one who knows what your true potential is. and itâs limitless. â
â i donât wanna hurt you guys. why donât you just turn yourselves in? â
â you can trust me. i know you. â
â theyâre not a threat to me, so why do i need to kill them? â
â there is no âus.â there is no âwe.â â
â youâre not a hero. youâre not even a good person. â
â why would a god take orders from anyone at all? â
â iâm starting to think maybe you donât know what i am. or what iâm capable of. â
â i'm not afraid of you. â
â well, then, chase me forever. â
â If you cared, you would have called. â
â iâm sorry. i donât know how to do this. iâm not good at it. â
â i didnât think you wanted me. â
â iâm late, but iâm⌠iâm here now. â
â all i do is sit and look at my phone and think of all the terrible things that iâve done. â
â when i look at you, i donât see your mistakes. â
â arenât you tired of fighting? let me help you. â
â you canât outrun the emptiness. â
â itâs what you said. weâre all alone. all of us. â
â i have these good days, you know? where i feel invincible. but then there are a lot of bad days when i remember that nothing matters, you know? â
â so youâre just gonna sit here and let it take over? â
â well, thereâs no use in fighting it. â
â at least i found a nice room. the other rooms are much worse. â
â you canât stuff it down. you canât hold it in all alone. no one can. we have to let it out. â
â even if it doesnât make the emptiness go away, i promise you it will feel lighter. â
â we can find a way out of here together. will you try and leave here with me? â
â thereâs no death here. the pain only gets worse. â
â i have a great past, so iâm totally fine. â
â the most shameful thing of all was thinking you could be anything more than nothing. â
â wait. you think they care about you? you donât matter. to anyone. â
â iâm stronger than you. â
â you thought you were gonna be some great man? some savior? you canât even save yourself. â
â we will always be alone. â
â it will always be just us. â
â weâre losing credibility. which we had very little to begin with. â
â weâre running out of space? Itâs impossible. this building is enormous. â
â i did the dishes though. â
