what gives?

the bar is closed.

think nothing of it.

can i pick them or can't i?

if he wants you, he'll send for you.

i don't plan to stay.

oh, well, why didn't you say so?

did you come on the bus? i saw it stop.

ever been down here before?

how long will you be with us?

then you'll stay overnight.

if i was you, i'd save myself the trouble.

if you can't behave yourself, you gotta leave.

i hope you didn't take offense how we handled you.

more than a year, we'd been planning to come here.

we all swore up and down: no dames!

everything's spoiled, including our dispositions.

just to show there's no hard feelings.

storm signals are up.

it leaves us in the dark about a few things.

i'd be most grateful.

dying isn't very important.

you'd be surprised how much i know about you.

that hollow above the upper lip? before a baby is born, they know all the secrets of life and death. at birth, an angel comes and put his finger right there and seals their lips.

high up, there's what's left of a church.

i'd like to pay a visit to that place. maybe we'll do just that.

thought i might make my living on the sea.

life on land's become too complicated for my taste.

what'd you do before the war?

i've done lots. anything to make a dollar.

where'd you learn about boats?

my first sweetheart was a boat.

you're very happy here, aren't you?

you're never lonely?

i knew lots of people, but i was lonesome too.

before [name/you], my life hadn't made much sense.

i never had much of a home, and i didn't like what i had.

i'm like one of those mangroves.

join me for a little drink now?

in a hurricane, the wind blows so hard the ocean gets up on its hind legs and walks right across the land.

sit in the car and wait.

there are two cons in a cell. one tries to sell the other a fountain pen. and he says, "this pen is guaranteed for life." ...don't you get it? a con. guaranteed for life.

that leaves it up to you, pal.

don't you like me? i'm beginning to think i got smallpox or something.

elevator's busting through the roof. the elevator boy says to a couple passengers: "i told you there was no 11th floor!"

wise guy.

i hear a hurricane blows off roofs and puts the snatch on people. and they all fly around in the sky together. is that right?

easy does it, soldier.

you'd think this rain would cool things off, but it don't.

you haven't got the nerve.

you think that big gun in your hand makes you look grown-up.

i'll bet you spend hours posing in front of the mirror.

now listen. i don't want trouble. with you. with anybody.

what you don't know won't hurt you.

we'll be out of here in a couple of hours. try to put up with us that long.

champagne and pompano. they really go together.

still feel tough?

stop hollering, old man.

what's that? i'm kind of deaf.

this ain't real. you're having a dream.

on the level, are you that dumb?

sure, i was all of those things. and more!

i'll be back up there one day. then you'll really see something!

you little wildcat!

swell hearing your voice again.

i paid you. you do what i say.

i'll blow your brains out.

i'll say one thing, you sure can take it.

your picture would be in all the papers.

listen, hick.

come over here. i'd like to spit on you.

i didn't ask for your advice!

unlock this door, i want out!

honey, have you been crying?

oh, come on. it'll chase the blues away.

i think i'll go to my room.

what i need is a drink.

i thought you knew all the answers.

darling, you've hurt your face.

what's funny? why'd you laugh?

what's worse: a dumbbell or a wise guy?

i was educated only in impractical things.

i see through you.

i had hopes once, but i gave them up.

show them how you're not afraid to die.

looks like you don't want it enough.

you look like you lost somebody near and dear.

want a hero? here's one for sale, cheap!

you knew the gun was empty, didn't you, son? you could tell by the weight.

you were smart, fella.

better to be a live coward than a dead hero.

i fight nobody's battles but my own.

i can't see it your way.

if i believed your way, i'd want to be dead too.

what you're saying now is only to save face.

either you show tonight or the deal is off.

everybody has their first drink.

if i'd known you'd act this way, i wouldn't have come here.

you certainly haven't changed one bit. you're as mean as can be.

i was the rage.

why don't you give us your old song?

i won't make you do anything.

my gowns were gorgeous. always low-cut.

play a little gin?

sorry about the things i said. they aren't true.

maybe it is a rotten world. but a cause isn't lost if someone's willing to fight.

you may not want to be, but you can't help yourself.

what do you know about my life?

say anything, just so it's talk.

you don't like storms, do you?

in a few hours, there'll be little to remind you what happened tonight.

if you decide to stay here with us, we'd be most happy. i'd be proud to have you regard us as your family.

i don't mean to set onto you, son. think it over. don't give your answer right away.

you filth. scum.

you know what'll happen if you don't.

there's no better fishing than what's here.

i didn't wanna say anything. it's not my business.

i wouldn't put it past you!

i killed them both.

haven't i seen you someplace before?

it's sure great to see you again, pal.

when you get outside, run.

your head says one thing and your whole life says another.

if you're a fighter, you can't walk away from a fight.

with you back again, it'll be like old times.

this time, it'll be different.

i forgot to tell you. you're not coming.

please, i love you! i need you!

good luck, son.

i feel awful.

there's just me and you. we'll be partners. what do you say? deal?

you'll get rid of me and take all the money, is that it?

you're not big enough to do this.

i'm mighty grateful to you for saving my life.

✧ Broken ribs suck. You don’t just “walk it off.” Breathing hurts. Laughing hurts. Existing hurts. Characters with rib injuries won’t be doing heroic sprints.

✧ Concussions aren’t instant naps. Dazed vision, nausea, dizziness, maybe even personality changes, but they’re not going to collapse neatly like in the movies.

✧ Blood loss is sneaky. It’s not just about dramatic pools of blood. It’s dizziness, confusion, and the body getting cold as circulation tanks.

✧ Adrenaline lies. Someone can take a serious injury and not feel it until the fight’s over. That “I didn’t realize I was bleeding until later” trope? Very real.

✧ Twisted ankles are brutal. One bad step and suddenly running is off the table. Even walking hurts like hell. Perfect way to ground a chase scene.

✧ Burns linger. Even small burns hurt more than most people expect. Blisters, infection risk, constant pain, it’s not just a cool scar later.

✧ Dislocated shoulders = useless arm. Characters can’t keep swinging a sword or firing a gun. They’re basically fighting one-armed until it’s fixed.

✧ Shock is a thing. Pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and eventually disorientation. A character might not even realize how bad their wound is.

✧ Stitches aren’t magic. Getting sewn up is painful and recovery takes time. They’re not instantly battle-ready after a needle and thread.
