PROFIT

i had to see for myself if it was true.

all this time, and you still haven’t figured it out?

no one deserves execution, no matter what their crimes.

what greater weapon is there than to turn an enemy to your cause?

i’m beginning to wonder if you’re capable of trusting anybody.

in the end, you’ve lost something as well.

you are all of these things, ___,  and  yet you are nothing.

tyrants and heroes rise and fall, and historians sort out the pieces.

you can try to kill me. you’ll fail, but you can try.

now do you understand the travails of my existence?

shall we find something to kill to cheer ourselves up?

love itself with save you, not condemn you.

nothing could make me feel safer than to be loved by you.

could i have returned to the light, as you did?

in the end, as the darkness takes me, i am nothing.

i alone must accept responsibility for my fate.

it takes effort to be properly irreverent at my age.

don’t start thinking this war, your war, is more important than any other war just because you’re in it.

are you saying what we’re doing isn’t important?

you think i’m some kind of monster, don’t you?

i’m allowed to be enigmatic when i want to be.

i wonder when people will stop underestimating me?

driving me insane is your idea of a good time?

any failure to get the results i want is due to a lack of power on my part.

can i break his neck now? it’s been a long-time fantasy of mine

i see you intend to be childish about this.

complain all you want, but i know you love it

once we pass beyond this door, we can never go back.

sometimes anger and hatred are deserved and right.

the foolish delusions of a child. but this child made it happen!

you cannot hide from what you once were.

i’m someone you don’t want to get on the bad side of.

okay, you’ve made your point. now shut up and kiss me.

i could’ve stopped him. i could have stopped it all.

someday, you’ll have to make a choice, and there won’t be any going back.

you’re just a travelling piece of bad luck, aren’t you?

you are very harsh. i like you.

i know this may sound strange, but only my compassion stands in my way now.

i am content with the impression i give.

the apprentice has learned his final lesson

that moment where you nearly die, and someone saves you.  tw for death applies.

the saved.

‘ i thought that I was going to die. ’

‘ woah! lucky you were there, huh? ’

‘ what – what happened? i don’t remember anything after __. ’

‘ i’m sorry you had to deal with that. it must have been really scary for you.’

‘ thank you for saving my life just then! i really thought that was it for me! ’

‘ why are you – looking so terrified? what happened to me? ’

‘ what do you mean, i stopped breathing for a moment there? ’

‘ that was really scary! thanks for doing what you did for me. ’

‘ you just – caught me! i was falling so far and then you just –! ’

‘ you – you saved me. i didn’t even think you’d come for me. ’

the savior.

‘ it’s alright, I’ve got you. i’ve got you, and you’re safe now. ’

‘ come on, keep your eyes open! don’t go to sleep on me! ’

‘ woah, i don’t know how i even caught you! ’

‘ there you are! i’m so happy you’re awake! ’

‘ breathe, please! just breathe! ’

‘ hey, are you with me? thought I’d lost you for a second there. ’

‘ i won’t let anything happen to you ever again. ’

‘ you have to come back to me! come on, i can’t do this without you! ’

‘ it’s alright, i’ll keep you safe. they won’t be able to hurt you any more.’

‘ just wake up, please! i’ll do anything! ’

bonus: the immortal.

‘ i really don’t need to get any medical attention. honestly, i’m feeling better already. ’

‘ oh, i died again? neat. how did it happen this time? ’

‘ what do you mean, you think you died again? ’

‘ yeah, you technically didn’t have to do that, but thanks i guess. ’

‘ well, i don’t know what to say. i’m clearly not dead, so you must have been mistaken. ’

‘ you didn’t have a pulse! how in hell are you already standing?! ’

‘ i think i’d better try to explain. just – uh – try not to scream, or anything. ’

‘ i need an explanation and i need it now, thank you. ’

‘ actually, i’m ___ years old, and this is about the ___ th time i’ve died. ’

“No, no, no, my friend! Of course not! Why! I would never ask such a thing!” Hondo begins with his usual gregariousness, laughing as though the other had told a marvelous joke before composing himself once more.

“I do not wish the use of your ship. Why would I when I have SO VERY MANY ships at my disposal?”

Or, at least, he would have so many, were most of them not currently in various states of disrepair, awaiting Malta’s assessment that he may organize the necessary repairs.

a stranger to BSO: He works for him? Or that’s his kid?
