okay, i explored the criminal lifestyle.

i was an altar boy, for christ's sake.

i don't got five dollars.

you're all such great cooks over there.

let's not talk politics at the table.

it's paradise over there.

it wasn't me who ripped you off!

your lucky number, boy, play it.

you shitting me?

too much fucking salt on this.

get out of here, you fucking mutt!

apollonia is the patron saint of dentists.

don't worry, it's not what you think it is.

oh, i think this is a waste of money.

some celebrity, i don't know who.

your sister's cunt!

it's the summer of love.

you should have seen this man run

aren't you humiliated by what you just said? i know i could be.

come on in, son. have a seat.

turn that light out. i'm trying to sleep.

baby, you are a riot tonight.

the fuck happen to you?

you wanna get smart now?

thought i heard somebody fall.

you shouldn't wear your sunglasses in the tub.

i should have stayed there.

i think maybe you still love him.

i didn't like it then, i don't like it now.

who the fuck do you think you're fucking talking to?

you're not getting away with it again.

what the fuck did i just say, goddamn it? now go home!

there was a bird in the garage. it means somebody's gonna die.

you're talking through your hat.

you can't watch television in here.

you know, i'm sorry, i know i never came to visit you before.

i brought you some sfogliatelle.

i want to do whatever i can to help you now. it wasn't right how they treated you.

i'll be honest with you. i want to do a good deed.

i'm a jazz nut.

bring me a copy next time you come. if you come.

i want to keep taking care of you.

i like that word. motherfucker.

you know i don't like to lean on you about stuff, but you can't start a gambling operation at school.

don't bullshit me.

you gotta have a better attitude. you gotta be good.

pinky swear?

hey, you don't talk to me like that.

i don't want that to happen to me.

keep a close eye on that one.

i need to borrow some money.

it's my gift to you. you don't gotta give it back.

you don't gotta be afraid to say hello to me.

pain comes from always wanting things.

i can't get in fucking trouble again.

i want to make it to the nfl someday.

they're gonna be here soon. we gotta get inside and hide.

nothing changes.

hey, baby, how are you? come here.

you gotta berate me in front of everybody?

go upstairs, right now, put on some decent clothes.

i missed you too, kid.

i made your favorite.

it's only me, your uncle [name].

i didn't do anything.

some babies, when they come into the world, know all kinds of things from the other side.

that's some inspirational shit.

here. why don't you buy you and your friends some of those... mcdonald's.

but the thing about remodeling is, you start with the sinks and then you go, "we might as well do this other thing while we're at it." it spins out of control.

can you stop eating for one minute?

no capisce, but i'm all fucking ears.

you think i'm stupid?

i always want to do right by you!

and what are you getting so pissy about?

you think you know everything!

grab his arm, hold him down.

we're gonna get in so much fucking trouble!

come here! free ice cream!

there you go, sweetheart.

we all do things like that when we're kids.

don't give me that look.

you don't understand fate.

i don't talk to people in here. i mostly read all day.

you're a saint!

i wonder if i could talk to you for a moment alone?

there's a big difference between a smart person and a smart aleck.

don't get cute.

i made it special for you.

you look nice.

it's a song. it's by the stones.

i don't smoke pot!

don't look so blue, kid. you and me'll cut out, go play catch.

wonder what they talk about in there.

don't be a wise-ass.

hey, hey, come here. i want to show you something.

far out, man.

i can't get caught with shit like this.

now, you say to yourself, "this is the last time i'm ever gonna steal something."

maybe i should get on top.

any excuse not to fuck.

sit down. have a hot chocolate and baileys.

soon i'll be in the stratosphere with you.

why would you want to do that for me?

i'd better do this myself.

ten minutes ago, you were laughing like an idiot. what did i do?

i thought that's what you wanted.

i'm alone so much.

hey, if i don't love you anymore, you won't mistake it for a maybe.

i don't promise anything, but you don't tell me, it's gonna be worse.

so much tragedy in your life. what kind of god, huh?

you kids shouldn't be drinking at your age.

give me the goddamn phone.

fucking truck's not gonna unload itself.

you too, kid.

i don't want any part of this! none of it!

9am. no later.

it's over, go home.

it shows you never know about people.

INTIMACY PROMPTS ft. john price

he's awakened by his own punched out oof of breath as a heavy body settles into his lap. for a brief moment, it's a flare of fight or flight - john hates to be caught unaware, especially when it rouses him from sleep. but he's in his own home, and he recognizes the smell of jack's shampoo enough to relax a little.

he'd sat down on the couch intending for only a moment's rest after dragging himself through the door. things needed doing: john needed to shower, eat, and sleep, in some semblance of that order. but exhaustion had settled into his bones the moment he stopped moving and now, here he is.

she'd brought bagels. she'd brought bagels and had showed up early to run a simulation and meet with the outgoing attending and she'd been so optimistic about the position and the next few months ... and everything had immediately gone to shit and had only got worse as the day progressed. baran had walked into ptmc that morning confident, hopeful, in control - and she leaves as a woman deflated, more upset and overwhelmed and angry and sad than she'd been in ... she doesn't know how long. popping her headphones in her ears (there isn't anything playing, she's just not in the right headspace for a conversation right now), baran grabs her bag from her locker and turns to leave. she's almost made it to the elevators when someone calls her name; she debates ignoring it, pretending she just didn't hear them, but responsibility wins out. baran turns, removing one earbud just in time for the other to invite her up to the roof to watch the fireworks with everyone.
