’ in new york you can be a new man. ’

’ you could never back down. ’

’ you never learned to take your time. ’

’ the world will never be the same. ’

’ pardon me, are you [ name ], sir? ’

’ i’m at your service, sir. ’

’ i have been looking for you. ’

’ i’m getting nervous. ‘

‘ can i buy you a drink? ‘

‘ while we’re talking, let me offer you some free advice. ‘

‘ don’t let them know what you’re against or what you’re for. ‘

‘ you can’t be serious. ‘

‘ you want to get ahead? ‘

‘ fools who run their mouths off wind up dead. ‘

‘ what time is it? ‘

‘ i’m a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal. ‘

‘ only nineteen, but my mind is older. ‘

‘ i have learned to manage. ‘

‘ the plan is to fan this spark into a flame. ‘

‘ don’t be shocked when your history book mentions me. ‘

‘ i will lay down my life if it sets us free. ‘

‘ i may not live to see our glory. ‘

‘ i will gladly join the fight. ‘

‘ there’s nothing like summer in the city. ‘

‘ your perfume smells like your daddy’s got money. ‘

‘ [ name ], you disgust me. ‘

‘ you want a revolution? i want a revelation. ‘

‘ chaos and bloodshed are not a solution. ‘

‘ they’re playing a dangerous game. ‘

‘ for shame, for shame! ‘

‘ it’s hard to listen to you with a straight face. ‘

‘ honestly, you shouldn’t even talk. ‘

‘ my dog speaks more eloquently than thee. ‘

‘ i’d rather be divisive than indecisive. ‘

‘ you say the price of my love’s not a price that you’re willing to pay. ‘

‘ why so sad? ‘

‘ now you’re making me mad. ‘

‘ you’ll be back. ‘

‘ close the door on your way out. ‘

‘ have i done something wrong, sir? ‘

‘ we are a powder keg about to explode. ‘

‘ i have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight. ‘

‘ where are you taking me? ‘

‘ i’m about to change your life. ‘

‘ this is not a game. ‘

‘ you strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied. ‘

‘ you’re like me. i’m never satisfied. ‘

‘ i’ll see you on the other side of the war. ‘

‘ love doesn’t discriminate. ‘

‘ there are things that the homilies and hymns won’t teach ya. ‘

‘ i am the one thing in life i can control. ‘

‘ my name’s been through a lot, i can take it. ‘

‘ i’m more than willing to die. ‘

‘ look around at how lucky we are. ‘

‘ how long have you known? ‘

‘ you should have told me. ‘

‘ i’m not sorry. ‘

‘ look at where you started. ‘

‘ we don’t need a legacy. ‘

‘ we don’t need money. ‘

‘ no one has more resilience. ‘

‘ i’ll do whatever it takes. ‘

‘ i’ll make a million mistakes. ‘

‘ i’ll make the world safe and sound for you. ‘

‘ why do you assume you’re the smartest in the room? ‘

‘ it’s the middle of the night. ‘

‘ you’re making a mistake. ‘

‘ don’t forget to write. ‘

‘ we have to win. ‘

‘ i’ve come home to this? ‘

‘ headfirst, into the abyss! ‘

‘ now is the time to stand! ‘

‘ we’re too fragile to start another fight. ‘

‘ have you an ounce of regret? ‘

‘ ev'ry action has its equal, opposite reactions. ‘

‘ it must be nice
. ‘

‘ i wanna give you a word of warning. ‘

‘ relax, have a drink with me. ‘

‘ why do you have to say goodbye? ‘

‘ i don’t have to tell you anything at all. ‘

‘ do you promise not to tell another soul what you saw? ‘

‘ you ever see somebody ruin their own life? ‘

‘ i saved every letter you wrote me. ‘

‘ i knew you were mine. ‘

‘ you said you were mine. ‘

‘ i thought were mine. ‘

‘ you and your words flooded my senses. ‘
