BORN LUCKY

Trust is for fools, FEAR is the only reliable way.

❝ ──── i used to think this scar marked me. the mark of the banished prince, cursed to chase the avatar forever. but lately... i've realized that i'm free to determine my own destiny, even if i'll never be free of my mark. ❞

i can't find any hard evidence.

good luck, [name]. maybe they'll listen to you.

i'm coming with you.

sometimes it feels like the rules are only there to stop me from doing my work.

i just couldn't take it anymore.

maybe i can get the job done my way for a change.

if you're wrong, we'll pay for it. but if you're right, and we did nothing, i think we'd regret it a whole lot more.

i thought you were dead.

it sure is good to see a friendly face.

at least it's not hard to find criminals here. all i have to do is point my gun and shoot.

my feelings got in the way of my better judgement.

i'll make you a deal. you get me out of here alive, and i'll tell you the whole damn thing.

nobody would give me a mirror. how bad is it?

don't make me laugh, damn it.

some women find facial scars attractive.

i'm fit for duty whenever you need me.

when i got to the meeting point, no one was there.

kill you? no. but i don't mind slowing you down a little.

what do you want from me, [name]?

i know you want to talk about this... but i don't. not yet.

it's so much easier to see the world in black and white. gray... i don't know what to do with gray.

my instincts are what got me into this mess.

never knew you had a weakness for men with scars.

well, why the hell not? there's nobody in this galaxy i respect more than you.

if we can figure out a way to make it work, then... yeah. definitely.

you're about the only friend i've got left in this screwed-up galaxy.

you don't ever have to worry about making me uncomfortable. nervous, yes... but never uncomfortable.

i brought wine.

your hair looks... good. and your waist is... very supportive.

hopefully that's not offensive in human culture.

i want something to go right. just once.

think you can win this thing, [name]?

i'm pretty sure we'll still need giant guns... and lots of them.

so... is this the part where we shake hands?

the scars are starting to fade. i remember they drove you wild.

i've been doing some more research on human customs.

glad to know my romantic skills made an impression.

let's not go there.

i can afford the good stuff.

what about you? i'm starting to see some wear and tear.

don't forget to come up for air. and not just because all these people need you. because i need you.

if you're suggesting i'm scared... game on.

still trying to make me blush, huh?

i'd be lying if i said i didn't hope it would inspire a certain... mood.

it seemed like you needed time to... figure us out.

the worst part about the galaxy going to hell would've been never getting to see you again.

not saying you don't know how to handle a gun. just saying some of us know how to make it dance.

i've actually seen you dance. no comment.

i know there are other things you're good at.

probably not a lot of air in here. an hour if we're lucky.

so tell me. think a girl would fall for that?

it gets even better when you try it in bed.

you don't lack for places to get lost.

did we break anything last night?

you'll find a way to win. and when this is over, i'll be waiting for you.

if this thing goes sideways and we both end up there... meet me at the bar. i'm buying.

forgive the insubordination, but your boyfriend has an order for you.

come back alive. it'd be an awfully empty galaxy without you.

we're in this 'til the end.

we didn’t kill these people. and we’re going to shut down the bastards who did.

looks like we’ve got a siege on our hand.

if anyone needs fresh clips or a bathroom break, now’s the time.

oh crap!

guess he didn’t like the food.

looks like we got the jump.

pretty extreme, but those were desperate times.

we won’t get a second chance.

that was me, sorry.

nothing like being stranded.

we’ll do more than that.

just the usual minor flesh wound.

what would these people have done if we hadn’t shown up?

i was there when you two had your thing, remember? just get a room and work it out.

stay angry. we’ll need it to get through this.

drinks will be on me.

one of my favorite places to fight!

i’m hard to kill. you should know that.

it’s gonna be bad all over.

for whatever it’s worth, i’m with you.

you’ve waited long enough for this day.

just wait ‘til this war is over.

you came along and warmed my heart with your winning personality.

maybe you’d like to go work for them instead?

how do i not have one of those?

surprise on our side for once. i like it.

I think you are:

“I called someone to bail us out last time. It’s your turn.”

“We probably shouldn’t do this.”

“See you say it’ll be fine? But, something tells me it won’t be.”

“Okay, but they are gonna be so pissed when they see what we did to this place.”

“We probably shouldn’t have tried to surf on the mattress down the stairs..”

“I can’t believe we just prank called him/her. What are we like twelve?”

“Let’s just tell them that the dog did it.”

“I’m picking the lock. But, I just realized that I’m not a detective and this is a hair pin I found in my glovebox.”

“Do you think that alarm means that we’re caught?”

“I’ll fill the bucket with water and you distract him/her while I dump it on their head.”

“This is exactly what we need–a  night out. Let’s go crazy!!”

“Honestly, I think the car looks better after we crashed it.”

“I rang this guy/girls doorbell and ran away really fast??? And they found me.”

“Why is there a giant teddy bear wearing lingerie in my bath tub?”

“Oh my god, why is there an unconscious man/woman on the floor?!”

“We were supposed to be cooking. But, it looks like a murder occurred in here.”

“We broke the window. I think someone is going to notice.”

“I can’t believe we’re trying to climb through a window to get back a pair of your panties/underwear.”

“Shh, they’ll hear us. This is a terrible idea. You are lucky I love you.”

“That cop did not find it as funny as we did.”
