โ Iโm not going to do anything to her. โ
โ I thought you would erase her memory or somethingโฆ again. โ
โ So sheโs just gonna get away with it? โ
โ Iโm not the magic police. โ
โ They wonโt be back here. They know whatโll rain down on them if they do. โ
โ What they do out there, itโs not my business; itโs not yours. Do you understand? โ
โ Next time, you will not be so lucky. โ
โ Life ainโt fair. Woe is you. โ
โ Now, please, leave before she sees you here. โ
โ I know you feel that youโve had to leave, but Iโd really like you to come back. โ
โ This is just one small corner of the world. โ
โ Thereโs a lot more out there to see, and Iโd like you to see it. โ
โ I was wrong. You are far too gifted not to be with us. โ
โ Just come back for a week, and if you donโt like it, then, please, by all means, be a farmhand. โ
โ I specialize in feet. Broken bones, wartsโฆ โ
โ Hi. Iโm going to get a drink. โ
โ I feel really terrible about, umโฆ I just thoughtโฆ โ
โ I wouldnโt be standing here talking to me if I were you. โ
โ Can anybody hear me? Anybody? Anybody? โ
โ Yeah, I didnโt ask for a mentor. I donโt give a shit. โ
โ Thereโs no discipline that has more power and possibility. โ
โ Itโs a terrible, life-destroying burden. โ
โ Lost my leg to frostbite. Iโd be dead if not for one deeply confused Sherpa. โ
โ Travelersโ training wheels. Your body stays here; your mind travels. Itโs like being a ghost. โ
โ Meditating wonโt stop you from having a wet dream and waking up in the Marianas Trench. โ
โ It works by binding your body to Earth. โ
โ Wonโt make the voices go away, but it might keep you alive. โ
โ There arenโt enough noble quests to go around. โ
โ How am I supposed to impress anyone? โ
โ Itโs a game designed a billion years ago to keep students from killing each other in duels. โ
โ Itโs like chess. Kind of. Not really. โ
โ I donโt know. That sounds kind of fun. โ
โ Thereโs gonna be a tournament. โ
โ Itโs supposed to be a surprise, but I like ruining things. โ
โ Well, luckily there are some treatment options, some, uh, really interesting new therapies. โ
โ Um, do youโฆ Uh, do you feel sick? โ
โ Eh, there was some dizziness, headaches. โ
โ I never see you anymore since you went to this new school. โ
โ Thinking a lot about mistakes, you know, things I would do differently. โ
โ I couldnโt sit through one more card trick, but if thatโs what makes the world bearable to you, then you go off and do card tricks. โ
โ Donโt try to be something youโre not. โ
โ Youโre studying what now? Finance? โ
โ You know youโre still on my insurance, right? โ
โ You checked yourself into a mental hospital a couple of months ago. โ
โ Iโm not trying to pick a fight with you, son. โ
โ Iโm just trying toโฆ fix what I broke. โ
โ Weโre friends, right? Uh, I was wondering if you could do me a tiny favor. โ
โ I just feel deeply that we are connected and are meant to work together. โ
โ Hey. Sorry, Iโm a little early. I knocked a couple times. โ
โ You have no idea how relieved I am to see you like this. โ
โ I was gonna put it a bit more delicately than that. โ
โ We need to go to the hospital. โ
โ There are treatments available. I chose not to pursue them. โ
โ I donโt want you to die. โ
โ I can give you the names of some journal articles. โ
โ What youโre looking for might be impossible, and it will require far more energy than you can muster. โ
โ I love you. Ohโฆ you baked. โ
โ You can have one, if you think you can afford it. โ
โ Thereโs a whole world of things besides this. โ
โ I almost burned down my apartment, and all I can think about is trying it again. โ
โ Your boyfriend could have done this for you. โ
โ You know, a beautiful girl calls you in the middle of the night, never mind sheโs a little intenseโฆ โ
โ Youโre late, and this is mandatory! โ
โ If you get any one of them wrong, the whole thing goes to hell. โ
โ One spell so powerful, it wiped the whole board. โ
โ You know, why canโt it run onโฆ loveโฆ or cocaine or something? โ
โ Itโs the universe deep-dicking us. Lie back and try and enjoy it. โ
โ Well, if you know so much, why donโt you show us? โ
โ Hmm, wellโฆ Could start by stealing me a sandwich. โ
โ Itโs not their fault that theyโre the tortoise and youโre the hare. Theyโre not even in the race. โ
โ Look, you want something better, get out of town; go to where the talent is. โ
โ You slept with me two days ago. โ
โ Thatโs a pretty loose fucking definition of love. โ
โ He doesnโt know the most important thing about you. โ
โ Please help me. Please come for me. Please help. โ
โ I didnโt know what happened to her. I figured she was dead. โ
โ Youโre supposed to be my fucking mentor. โ
โ What the hell do you want from me? โ
โ Youโre the one who saw her, and itโs not my problem. โ
โ My advice? Get that tattoo as soon as possible. โ
โ I have so much to teach you about drinking. โ
โ Itโs a three-year program. Graduate level. It begins immediately. โ
โ Mm. How may I help you, sir? โ
โ Heโs sort of our unofficial mascot. โ
โ But you didnโt listen, did you? โ
โ You can even save someoneโs life, but you might alter their soul in the process. โ
โ We can fix some things. So we fix what we can. โ
โ You need to leave now. Youโre pathetic. โ
โ What is this, some sort of sick revenge because I wouldnโt screw you again? โ
โ You want to stand on our shoulders, and you havenโt, not once, taken any of our advice. โ
โ Honestlyโฆ What do you care about? โ
โ I donโt know. Iโm still figuring that out. โ
โ Well, then this is the perfect place to be. โ
โ Get ready for the first spanking you wonโt enjoy. โ
โ Thatโs actually kind of hot. โ
โ Helps if you hold a pleasant image in mind, such as a baby, if you tolerate those. โ
