Is it nature or divine or a blessing in disguise?

This storm's our final fight.

There's no time to die.

Brace for a storm, the likes of which we've never seen before.

With home so close, we must keep pushing forward.

Have them follow my ship, I'll ensure that we prevail.

We're taking too much damage to survive.

At this rate, we won't make it out alive.

We're gonna shoot for the sky.

Please don't tell me you're about to do what I think you'll do.

You could be caught off guard and lose your life.

Don't forget how dangerous the gods are.

Have faith, friend, we've come this far.

Yes, but how much longer 'til your luck runs out?

I still believe in goodness; I still believe that we could be kind.

And what will we do when it tears us apart?

And suddenly, you doubt that I could figure this out?

How much longer 'til your great days cease?

You rely on wit and people die on it.

I understand that we're tired, I understand that we're fazed, but don't forget how much we've already faced.

I can't have you planting seeds of doubt.

I need you to always be devout and comply with this.

I don't know if you know this, but our path to home is blocked by an impenetrable storm.

I give the fire enough to stay burning.

And if you win, you will get what you're yearning.

All you gotta do is not open this bag.

Sounds too easy, what's the catch?

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Never really know who you can trust.

Sometimes killing is a must.

Cause the end always justifies the means, friends turn into foes and rivalries.

We cannot let the treasure rumor fly.

Sometimes sneaking is a must.

For nine days, I've stayed wide awake trying to make it home with no storm or tidal wave.

I can't wait to make some new memories.

Why are my eyes and my heart and my soul so heavy?

Just keep your eyes open.

So much has changed but I'm the same.

In all my years of living it isn't very often that I get pissed off.

I'm left without a choice and without a doubt.

I've gotta make you bleed, I need to see you drown.

Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.

You are the worst kind of good 'cause you're not even great.

You are far too nice, mercy has a price.

And now it is finally time to say goodbye, today you die.

The line between naïveté and hopefulness is almost invisible.

When does a ripple become a tidal wave?

I am your darkest moment the monster that always draws near.

I can't believe this cave has all this for us to keep!

I've gotta hand it to you both, this is quite the treat.

What gives you the right to deal a pain so deep?

Don't you know that pain you sow is pain you reap?

You will learn that it's not so fun to take.

You came to my home to steal, but now you'll become my meal.

A trade you see?

But now that I see we've done some damage, maybe you and I can make a deal.

I'll give you our finest treasure.

A gift from you and a gift from me.

Stranger, what's your name?

My name is Nobody.

I'm so glad we see eye to eye.

You shall be the final man to die.

And if we're defeated, they're good as dead.

Straight ahead, that is who we're fighting.

Our foe must be thwarted right here and now.

Show me how great is your will to survive.

No dying on me now. Defeat is not allowed.

Don't let him get close, he's strong but he's slow He can't land a blow if we're out of reach.

And when I kill you then my pain is over.

We must move quickly, we don't have much time.

Mark my words now, this is not the end.

Remember them, when the fire begins to fade. For the fallen and afraid.

We are not to let them die in vain.

We're the ones who carry on.

Have you forgotten the lessons I taught you?

He's still a threat until he's dead.

What good would killing do, when mercy is a skill more of this world could learn to use?

The blood we shed, it never dries.

When we met, I led with peace.

I am neither man nor mythical. I am your darkest moment.

You are reckless. Sentimental at best.

You've grown soft. Your dead friends can attest.

Put your emotions aside, you're a warrior.

But I warned you and you failed the test. So now I'm gone.

This way, you'll know what your place is. This way, you can't cross the line.

You'll keep yours and I'll keep mine.

Consider this as my goodbye.

Every time someone dies, I'm left to deal with the strain.

At least I know what I'm fighting for. While you're fighting to be known.

Since you claim you're so much wiser, why's your life spent all alone?

But now we'll be the ones who slay.

Do what I say and you'll see them again.

Find that inner strength now. Use that well of pride.

Fight through every pain now.

What do you live for? What do you try for?

I fight for us.

A vision of what is to come, cannot be outrun.

What sort of imminent threat does he pose, that I cannot avoid?

If you don't end him now, you'll have no one left to save.

Please don't make me do this, don't make me do this.

The blood on your hands is something you won't lose.

Will these actions haunt my days?

Every man I've slain is the price I pay, endless pain.

Close your eyes and spare yourself the view.

I'm just a man who's fighting for his life.

Deep down I would trade the world to see my son and wife.

When does a man become a monster?

I can tell you're getting nervous. So do yourself a service and try to relax, my friend.

We'll survive what we get into.

I know that you're tired of the war and bloodshed.

Tell me, is this how we're supposed to live?

You could show a person that you trust them when you stop and lower your guard.

This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms.

Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart.

You're saying there's a cave where we could feast?

I see in your face, there is so much guilt inside your heart.

Have you forgotten to turn off your heart? This is not you?

Have you forgotten your purpose? Let me remind you.

Show yourself. I know you're watching me.

How can you see through my spell?

I was lying and you fell for my bluff.

Nice try, but two can play this game.

If you're looking for a mentor, I'll make sure your time's well spent.

I still intend to make sure you don't fall behind.

Don't forget that you're a warrior of a very special kind.

I wonder what this could be.

You'll feel better when you're dry.

That fire wasn't burning when we left.

Do you remember how we got back up here?

I'm going back to that bridge and retrace our steps.

I don't think we survived the crash.

Are we halfway to heaven or halfway to hell?

I wish I had a better view of the cemetery from here.

Where are the other dead people?

In the book, rule number two: "The living usually won't see the dead."

I don't think we have much to worry about anymore.

We're here to enjoy the country setting, not to trash the place!

Is this a punishment?

I've been reading that book and there's a word for people in our situation.

I will not stop living and breathing art just because you need to relax.

I'll live with you in this hellhole.

Once you cover the wallpaper, knock down a few walls, this place might be livable.

I have a feeling there's something very interesting behind this door.

What's the good of being a ghost if you can't frighten people away?

My whole life is a darkroom.

At least someone's life hasn't been upheaved.

Tell me what you do and I'll tell you why my husband will fire you.

Well, come on down and see me, the afterlife's leading bio-exorcist.

I got demons runnin' all through me.

You didn't actually think that would work, did you?

Maybe you can relax in a haunted house, but I can't.

You probably haven't read through the manual completely yet.

___, is this what happens when you die?

If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have had my little accident.

Boy, this place just gets weirder and weirder.

Haunted houses aren't easy to come by.

But rather than have you make another mistake, I'll tell you.

Your mother will kill you when she sees you cut holes in her $300 sheets.

Do that weird sexual stuff in your own bedroom.

If I had seen a ghost at your age, I would have been scared out of my wits.

I read through that Handbook for the Recently Deceased.

I myself am strange and unusual.

Why do you want to scare everybody?

Can you do any tricks to prove I'm not dreaming?

I told them you were too mean to be afraid.

Being embarrassed in front of the few people who will set foot in here scares me.

Is this a solid relationship?

You didn't have to, but you picked me.

Betelgeuse. Betelgeuse. Betelgeuse.

Kids, what do I have to do to strike a deal with you two?

We can do this stuff on our own.

Any minute now they'll come running out of that door screaming.

It's a little late to be neurotic.

We all experienced a super-powerful paranormal experience and it was real.

Open this door, Dead People, or we'll bust it down...

I think we scared them away, so let's leave them alone, all right?

You guys are really spooksters, aren't you?

We can turn this place into the world's leading supernatural research center.

What type of motivation do you require?

That snake was a nasty customer.

I'm feeling a little anxious, if you know what I mean.

You let Betelgeuse out and didn't put him back.

We cannot have a routine haunting like yours... provide proof that there is existence beyond death.

I am utterly alone.

It makes my life hell, okay?

Being dead doesn't make things any easier.

I have a feeling things are going to be better from now on.

Every time she says that, the paint peels... and some wild creature tries to kill us.

Think of it as a marriage of inconvenience.

That is why I won't do two shows a night anymore, babe.

Let's get on with the ceremony.

- Nobody says the "B" word.

May we continue with the ceremony?

Why don't I just go back to the day things took a turn for the worse?

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

I'm not making this up. It's here.

This is embarrassing enough already.

Why put your town's safety in jeopardy?

How could you mistake a stop sign for an acorn?

Your kid went and scared us all half to death!

When will everybody forget your big mistake?

Billboards I could live with. Posters I could even live with. But a bumper sticker. It's... it's like glued on forever.

It doesn't matter. You know why? Because I've got a plan.

Well, remember how I told you it would be better for you to lay low, don't call attention to yourself?

Yeah, a game of hide-and-seek, except the goal is never to be found, ever!

Look, Mama! There's the crazy chicken!

I don't wanna hear any quacks, tweets, oinks, whinnies or cocklee-doodle-doos when I say... dodgeball.

Split into two teams. Popular versus unpopular.

That's the least of my problems.

This morning... this morning my dad told me I should basically disappear.

Look, one moment destroyed my life, right? One moment.

All I need is a chance to do something great to make everyone forget the "---" thing once and for all.

And you have been hurting inside ever since, right?

Smash! Bits of emotion flying everywhere! Anger! Frustration!

You have got to stop messing around, and deal with the problem.

You're inventive and resourceful and funny and cute and...

I'm very bad at reading facial cues.

You know I have the utmost respect for you.

Hey, why don't you watch where you're going?!

You could give me some pointers.

I can't wait to see the look on your face when I smack that ball in for a touchdown!

That was a... that was a joke.

Just please try not to get your hopes too high.

I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I've seen roadkill with faster reflexes.

Remember where you were at this moment. The smells! The sounds!

This is one memory you'll savor forever!

Unless you think we need... closure?

Please be gone, please be gone, please be gone...

I don't care. I want it out of my life, gone for good.

Are you gonna help me get rid of it or not?

You got to be ready to listen to your children, even if they have nothing to say.

I can't handle the pressure! Go on without me!

I'll jeopardize the mission! Endanger us all!

What happened? I blacked out there for a second.

Come on! If you don't hurry, you're gonna miss it!

I know this looks bad, but there's an invisible spaceship right there with aliens who are here to invade Earth!

Oh, it's the acorn thing all over again.

I thought rabbits' feet were supposed to be lucky.

Your hate mail box is full.

Something inside has died and they just can't hide and they just can't fake it.

I know, I know! You were right! Alien invasion. I see that now.

We have to help him, 'cause if we don't, who else will?

But you need to know that I love you, no matter what.

Crazy supportive. That's me! 

By the way, I'd like to say I've always found you extremely attractive!

Oh, they've given her an alien mind-wipe!

All we have to do is take the kid down the street to the giant metal alien.

Now that's what I call takin' out the trash!

We can't go out this way! It's dangerous.

You gotta believe me this time.

A charge punishable by immediate particle disintegration!

you're my heart taker, i'm your heartbreaker.

you stroke my pain and tempt my trouble.

unchain my love, but don't ever let me go.

i keep messing with your head, you keep messing up my bed.

but we're not friends and we're not lovers. we're just trouble.

shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver.

holy hands, will they make me a sinner?

one breath, it'll just break.

sometimes violence, she makes no sound.

oh, won't wave my white flag, no. this time i won't let go.

i'd rather die than give up the fight.

don't you know i ain't afraid to shed a little blood?

i'll save myself in spite of you.

i wanna wake up where your love is, cause your love is always waking mine.

i wanna lay here, lost and bitter.

i wanna tell you what my truth is, but it's buried deep inside.

lately i'm mistaking honey for the bees.

tell the truth, you know you cannot keep me safe.

there's more pain in love than we could find in hate.

so if you leave, at least it's bittersweet.

i sink in you like water. pray you won't pull me under.

be gentle with me. have patience with me.

cause i've been a devil, i've been a saint.

ashes in the cold, now i'm running toward the fire.

we've built a fire and you put out the flames.

foster my heart, foster my pain. bring me to life, kill me for game.

oh, i let my lover go.

welcome to my dark side, it's gonna be a long night.

i'll take my time til i show you how i feel inside.

acting like i'm heartless, i do it all the time.

i can be your reckless, you can be my stain. i can be your heartache, you can be my shame.

you got more bones than a graveyard.

What's the vital thing to remember in a duel? Honour?

I was raised to fight like a gentleman

Were you raised to die young?

No point all of us getting arrested.

I've never been unpopular before.

I'm more the romantic hero type.

You had me convinced - and I knew the whole thing was a charade.

Provoking a duel was a brilliant idea.

You're a terrible judge of character, especially when you're sober.

The secret to a good trick?

Mutton is the one that goes "baa" and has wool on it.

They betrayed me and I hate them for it.

Even though I myself will suffer for it.

You know, these stories can be greatly exaggerated.

We've been getting along well, but I wouldn't say friends, exactly.

God, I love that in a woman. [ . . . ] Violence.

Let's just say I was surprised, in a delicate situation.

And not a soul will lift a finger to stop me.

Without it, why should they lead a decent life?

You still have to get past the guards. Take me with you, ___.

Some men are just born bad.

You see, I told you they'd let me walk out of here.

I hope that, apart from this, you've enjoyed your trip.

Look at me, look at me. It's over. I've got you.

Keep me informed of developments.

You left him with a bloody dagger in his hand, facing the noose.

What kind of idiot would overlook that?

Five years in your service and you still doubt me?

I am a wanted man on the run.

We're going to play a little game... to find out the truth.

I'm going to hack your fingers off, one at a time, until you admit to being a spy.

I know a man's character by looking into his eyes.

There's more brains in a fish.

The poor and the dispossessed will rise up and join us, taking back what belongs to them.

Perhaps your friend would grant us a moment's privacy?

May it keep you safe... .always.

Fine. But please, set your sights a little lower, for all our sakes.

You've got five seconds to explain what you're doing before I blow your brains into the next street.

For God's sake, kiss me back, and make it look good.

You're making a habit of this.

___ said the secret to a good trick is to make people look the wrong way.

They told me about the duel and your imprisonment, that it was all faked.

First I thought you were a condemned man, then a fugitive and now...this! How many ways can a man think of to get himself killed?

Tell me we've made the right decision.

In fact, I wish my lodgers would die more often, so I could have an easier life.

He's a fugitive from justice.

Surrender or die!

You betrayed me. You set me up.

It wasn't only murder that made our night together memorable.

You fell asleep, when you were meant to be watching my back.

I'm not denying anything.

Besides, we used to be quite close.

Has anyone ever told you you've got lovely eyes?

Look, if I knew any more, I'd tell you.

Any time you want your sword polished, handsome, let me know.

And all over some mad attempt at rebellion?

We'll catch the conspirators in the act of sedition, hopefully, without a shot being fired.

It's simply a matter of common sense to stay away.

It is my task to show courage and leadership.

Gutter-born, but his intelligence and pleasant looks caught my eye.

Only the most favoured members of the nobility are granted the exquisite honour of gazing on the Royal countenance.

I am pleased to include myself in that number.

That empty space is like a dagger in my heart.

The King and Queen will be dead before a quarter past.

I counted six and at least one more inside.

Every man here I trust like a brother.

We have a traitor in our midst.

I would lay down my life for you.

I wouldn't want you to miss the high point of our brief acquaintance.

I discovered them whilst working in the palace kitchens.

In exactly 15 minutes, that candle will burn down and light the fuse that will explode the powder stored in those barrels.

He's made us look in the wrong direction.

Surrender or die! It's up to you.

Still, you worked it out in the end.

My apologies for the deception, ___. I had no choice.

I trust nothing of the kind will ever happen again.

Things were very quiet before you came here, ___.

But all the good fortune in the world won't save him, if he chooses to be my enemy.

Come on, you're tired, ___. We should stop here.

Kindly empty your pockets of money and jewelry.

If you want to live, do it now.

I see that I was misinformed.

___ and I were having a discussion about personal integrity.

There's only one way to resolve this. A duel between gentlemen, supervised according to the strict code of honour.

Still, why fight fair when you might lose?

Attacking an unarmed opponent defies every principle of chivalry.

He doesn't love you as I do.

Please tell me there's another way out.

I'm sure you find other ways to amuse yourself.

I'd much rather amuse myself with you.

Let me think... No. Because... that would be illegal.

Don't bother asking me any more questions, because I can't answer them.

Didn't ask for your life story.

There's something about shooting that makes a man feel fully alive.

My men are professional soldiers, ___.

These people just pay me empty compliments.

It amuses me to have an honest man at court.

Reports are arriving with disturbing frequency, ___.

There have been no recent desertions, no absences?

Forgive me, ___, while I teach this oaf a lesson in manners.

This looks like a badger's intestines.

You look beautiful tonight, ___.

The treasury is as good as bankrupt.

The regions refuse to be governed.

Is that why you hate them so much, because they're beyond your control?

I can trust no one at court.

I'm surrounded by fools and liars.

But at least I can always rely on you.

You still need that lesson in manners.

I just want to watch you and forget for a few hours.

The man I loved tried to murder me.

Say the word, and I'll kill him for you.

Oh, you degenerate! Touch me again, and I'll gut you like a fish.

You can barely walk.

You're in no shape to fight, if that's what you're thinking of.

With respect, that's none of your business.

You made it my business when you fell at my feet.

I'm not always so ill-mannered.

Might I inquire the name of my saviour?

Please think kindly of my name... if you think of it at all.

Prepare to fight. One of us dies here.

Now, that's the way to make an entrance.

I usually remember the men I kill.

Don't make me kill you over a mistake.

Now, fight me or die on your knees!

Lively little bugger, aren't ya?!

If only men would think instead of fight, there might be more good ones left.

You're to appear before the King immediately, charged with robbery and murder.

Oh, this is a mockery of justice!

There is not a word of truth in this!

You assured me he was trustworthy. Do you realise what's at stake?

So how did you come by these injuries?

I can't rest until I know the truth.

This morning, you try and kill them, and now you're best friends?

Don't waste your time with me.

His disgrace and execution will strike a deadly blow to their morale.

He was a bad lover and a terrible bore.

You hired me to do a job.

If I was planning an ambush, I'd do it here.

There have been numerous incidents and provocations.

I never knew a woman with so many opinions.

It's clear... I must withdraw from public life immediately.

I will give you whatever you want, ___, just get me out of this mess.

I will disband their whole regiment if that's what it takes to make you happy.

It could go like that. Or we can just skip to the confession part.

I... I can't tell you! They'll kill me!

It's just a matter of, which vital organ do I choose to hit first?

I'm not like him. I'm not a killer. I'm a soldier, like you.

We need a distraction, something they'd never expect.

If you're in any danger, use this.

Surprise would have been everything!

Death in combat is too honourable for you.

If I were you, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to die.

You're a traitor and a spy.

You pious hypocrite! You'll burn in hell!

We have unfinished business.

I'm grateful for your loyalty, ___.

I thought you might talk, if only to save your own skin.

In the world's eyes, I've done terrible, unforgivable things.

Are we human because we gaze at the stars or do we gaze at them because we are human?

Off you go home, now. Let's not go through all this again.

You still haven't ever managed to tell me what could possibly happen that's so bad.

Hundreds of years, this wall's been here. Hundreds of years, this gap's been under 24 hour guard.

I don't deal with time wasters.

This is all I have. Do you have anything I could buy for this?

This one costs a kiss.

I'm a princess tricked into being a witch's slave. Will you liberate me?

Wait a minute, is this another one of your jokes?

It's an enchanted chain. I'll only be free when she dies.

If I can't liberate you, what do you want of me?

In fact, I'm having trouble remembering if there's anything you were good at.

I'm not like any of them. I try to be, but I'm not.

A good omen, they say in some parts.

I know you told me not to come. But I have something for you. A surprise.

Word is, he's planning to propose to me on my birthday.

For your hand in marriage, I'd cross oceans. Continents.

For your hand in marriage, I'd go to [...] and bring you back that fallen star.

You speak as if such things are freely available.

Fool! There's no time to waste. If we must retrieve it on foot, then we shall.

If these divinations are correct, the fallen star lies 100 miles away.

It's hardly like the minstrels are going to be telling of your dastardly deeds for generations to come.

Can I just say, I beg to differ.

Why would I waste my time killing my sister when so many of my cretinous brothers are still alive?!

Which is why we shall resolve the situation in a nontraditional manner.

No one. Nobody. Nobody crosses the wall. You know that. Everyone knows that.

Excuse me? At least you had a chance.

I thought I heard you come in. What happened? Are you hurt?

So, stranger. What's it to be? Heads or tails?

you do not wish a life with me for yourself.

you do not know me, and rest assured, you never shall.

the more i learn, the more i realize how little i know.

you are the bane of my existence and the object o all my desires.

a diamond is precious precisely because it is rare.

there is nothing more i want than to earn back the favor of the one person who has always truly made me feel appreciated.

just because something is not perfect does not make it any less worthy of love.

i will stand with you between the heavens and the earth.

flawless, my dear.

i love you with my past, and i love you for my future.

sometimes i think you possibly couldn't be real.

night and day, i dream of you.

i can live with you hating me, i just can't live without you.

i love you. i adore you. i worship the ground you walk upon.

it is you i cannot sacrifice.

nothing is ever as complicated as it is in one's mind.

we choose to love each other every single day.

you ... are a menace.

pride ... it will cost you everything and leave you with nothing.

your regrets are denied.

i know i am imperfect, but i humble myself before you because i cannot imagine my life without you.

from the moment i saw you trying to go over the wall, i have loved you desperately.

i have no intention of marrying for love.

come, hide from the heavens with me.

i love all of you. even the parts you believe are too dark or too shameful.

all i find myself thinking about, all i find myself being able to breathe for ... is you.

just keep looking at me. no one else matters.

it seems ... my garden is in bloom. and now it wants things.

you must tell me to stop if you do not wish for this.

where there's life, there's hope.

there is some good in this world and it's worth fighting for.

the wise speak only of what they know.

false hopes are more dangerous than fears.

courage is found in unlikely places.

moonlight drowns out al but the brightst stars.

i would rather spend one lifetime with you, than face all the ages of this world alone.

i will not say do not weep, for not all tears are evil.

little by little, one travels far.

the world is not in your maps and books. it's out there.

all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is give to us.

it is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life.

no, the journey doesn't end here.

death is just another path, one that we must all take.

all that is gold does not glitter.

not all those who wander are lost.

i would have gone with you to the end.

it is not the strength of the body, but the strength of the spirit.

a man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a shortcut to meet it.

faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

i would have followed you my brother, my captain, my king.

many that live deserve death. and some that die deserve life.

no man can kill me.

don't go where i can't follow.

do not spoil the wonder with haste!

i still taste the past.

am i supposed to be grateful to have survived this?

we never made it, did we?

survivors have scars. victims have graves.

my nightmares are usually about losing you.

this destruction will be your rebirth.

we are unusual and tragic and alive.

when my time is up, have i done enough? will they tell my story?

i promise to find you in every lifetime.

timing has never been our strong suit.

i loved you as icarus loved the sun: too close, too much.

suffering is a terrible fire; it either purifes or destroys.

i might regret my promises, but i keep them.

a knight lives to served. to protect. to sacrifice.

everyone has a darker nature; everyone.

do you love my insides? the parts you cannot see?

come back. come back to me.

do you ever miss yourself?

dying is the easy part; living is the trick.

your hands are scarred from murder, and yet i trust them completely.

how can i begin anything new with all of yesterday in me?

i crave touch and yet i flinch every time someone is close enough.

should friends look at each other the way we do?
