THE WALKING DEAD SEASON ONE SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ Sometimes I wonder if you even care about us at all. ❜
❛ Make sure you got a round in the chamber and your safety off. ❜
❛ Son of a bitch shot me. You believe that? ❜
❛ Look, I ask and you answer. It's common courtesy, right? ❜
❛ Get away from the windows. ❜
❛ Conserve your ammo. Goes faster than you think. Especially at target practice. ❜
❛ There are others. It's not just us. ❜
❛ Folks got no idea what they're getting into. ❜
❛ We are surviving here. We are day to day. ❜
❛ Listen, whoever you are, I don't mind telling you I'm a little concerned in here. ❜
❛ Have you been listening? You're running out of time. ❜
❛ Yeah, whatever. Yeehaw. You're still a dumbass. ❜
❛ You know what the key to scavenging is? Surviving! You know the key to surviving? Sneaking in and out, tiptoeing. Not shooting up the streets like it's the O.K. Corral. ❜
❛ You were chasing a hallucination, imagining things. It happens. ❜
❛ Hey! Y'all be more polite to a man with a gun! Only common sense. ❜
❛ We survive this by pulling together, not apart. ❜
❛ If bad ideas were an Olympic event, this would take the gold. ❜
❛ You can't leave me. You can't leave me here. Not like this. ❜
❛ At least somebody's having a good day. ❜
❛ Words can be meager things. Sometimes they fall short. ❜
❛ Nothing bit you? Nothing scratched you? ❜
❛ So that's it, huh? You're just gonna walk off? Just to hell with everybody else? ❜
❛ You're putting every single one of us at risk. Just know that. ❜
❛ The world ended. Didn't you get the memo? ❜
❛ Toughest asshole I ever met. Feed him a hammer, he'd crap out nails. ❜
❛ They're not gonna say it so I will. You're scaring people. ❜
❛ Even I think it's a bad idea and I don't even like you much. ❜
❛ There ain't nothing gonna stop him from getting back here to you, I promise you that. ❜
❛ One wrong move, you get an arrow in the ass. Just so you know. ❜
❛ You come back locked and loaded, we'll see which side spills more blood. ❜
❛ Them guns are worth more than gold. Gold won't protect your family or put food on the table. ❜
❛ What life I have I owe to him. ❜
❛ I don't think you fully appreciate the gravity of the situation. ❜
❛ You're the dumbest son of a bitch I ever met. We walked in there ready to kill every last one of you. ❜
❛ The people we've encountered since things fell apart, the worst kind… plunderers, the kind that take by force. ❜
❛ Guess the world changed. ❜
❛ The people here, they all look to me now. I don't even know why. ❜
❛ Hell with them people. Wouldn't piss on them if their heads were on fire. ❜
❛ Unless I've misread the signs, the world seems to have come to an end. At least hit a speed bump for a good long while. ❜
❛ Time…it's important to keep track, isn't it? The days at least. Don't you think? ❜
❛ Do not enter the city. It belongs to the dead now. ❜
❛ I know how the safety works. ❜
❛ We start down that road, where do we draw the line? ❜
❛ Someone needs to have some balls to take care of this damn problem! ❜
❛ We don't kill the living. ❜
❛ I'm sorry for not ever being there. I always thought there'd be more time. I'm here now. ❜
❛ These people need to know who the hell's in charge here, what the rules are. ❜
❛ There are no rules. ❜
❛ We need time to mourn and we need to bury our dead. It's what people do. ❜
❛ I won't leave again. I promise you that. Not for anything. ❜
❛ You save a grave for me? ❜
❛ It's not about what you want. That sound you hear, that's God laughing while you make plans. ❜
❛ We can't stay here. We both know that. ❜
❛ The most important thing here is we need to stay together. ❜
❛ You go on your own, you won't have anyone to watch your back. ❜
❛ Leave me here. I'm done. Just leave me. ❜
❛ The fever… You've been delirious more often than not. ❜
❛ We can't be here, this close to the city after dark. ❜
❛ You got stuff to bring in, you do it now. Once this door closes, it stays closed. ❜
❛ You know, it's over. There's nothing left. ❜
❛ You don't know what it's like out there. You may think you do, but you don't. ❜
❛ We don't have to be afraid anymore. We're safe here. ❜
❛ I lost somebody too. I know how devastating it is. ❜
❛ What's wrong with him? Seriously, is he nuts, medicated, what? ❜
❛ I did the best I could in the time that I had. I hope you'd be proud of that. ❜
❛ We always think there's gonna be more time. ❜
❛ You should've left well enough alone. It would've been so much easier. ❜
❛ I had to keep hope alive, didn't I? ❜
❛ There is no hope. There never was. ❜
❛ What part of "everything is gone" do you not understand? ❜
❛ There's your chance. Take it. ❜

INTERSTELLAR (2014) SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ I thought you were the ghost. ❜
❛ You got to figure it out. I'm not always gonna be here to help you. ❜
❛ Well, I guess that answers the old "if I asked you to drive off a cliff" scenario. ❜
❛ It's like we've forgotten who we are. Explorers, pioneers, not caretakers. ❜
❛ You're the one who doesn't belong. Born 40 years too late, or 40 years too early. ❜
❛ We used to look up in the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt. ❜
❛ You were good at something and you never got a chance to do anything with it. I'm sorry. ❜
❛ Don't make me take you down again. Sit down! ❜
❛ It's pretty clear you don't want any visitors. So why don't you just let us back up from your fence and we'll be on our way? Huh? ❜
❛ You're sitting in the best-kept secret in the world. Nobody stumbles in here. Nobody stumbles out. ❜
❛ I hesitate to term it supernatural, but it definitely wasn't scientific. ❜
❛ We'll find a way. We always have. ❜
❛ Okay, now you need to tell me what your plan is to save the world. ❜
❛ We're not meant to save the world. We're meant to leave it. ❜
❛ You're asking me to hang everything on an almost. ❜
❛ I'm asking you to trust me. ❜
❛ This world was never enough for you, was it? ❜
❛ Don't trust the right thing done for the wrong reason. ❜
❛ Mankind was born on Earth, it was never meant to die here. ❜
❛ We're just here to be memories for our kids. ❜
❛ Once you're a parent, you're the ghost of your children's future. ❜
❛ You have no idea when you're coming back. No idea at all! ❜
❛ Don't make me leave like this. Come on! Don't make me leave like this! ❜
❛ I love you. Forever. You hear me? I love you forever, and I'm coming back. ❜
❛ We're going to be spending a lot of time together. We should learn to talk. ❜
❛ Absolute honesty isn't always the most diplomatic, nor the safest form of communication with emotional beings. ❜
❛ We'll be waiting for you when you get back. A little older, a little wiser, but happy to see you. ❜
❛ You don't think nature can be evil? ❜
❛ Why are you whispering? They can't hear you. ❜
❛ This gets to me. This. Millimeters of aluminum, that's it, and then nothing out there for millions of miles won't kill us in seconds. ❜
❛ Everybody ready to say goodbye to our solar system? ❜
❛ You can't just think about your family. Now you have to think bigger. ❜
❛ I told you to leave me! Why didn't you? ❜
❛ One of us was thinking about the mission! ❜
❛ I was trying to do the right thing! ❜
❛ Oh, we are not prepared for this. ❜
❛ You eggheads have the survival skills of a Boy Scout troop. ❜
❛ Time is relative, okay? It can stretch and it can squeeze, but it can't run backwards, it just can't. ❜
❛ When you become a parent, one thing becomes really clear. And that is that you want to make sure your children feel safe. ❜
❛ I thought I was prepared. I knew the theory. Reality's different. ❜
❛ There's nothing here for us. ❜
❛ So it would be a real good time for you to come back. ❜
❛ I didn't mean to intrude. It's just that I've never seen you in here before. ❜
❛ I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid of time. ❜
❛ Are you calling my life's work nonsense? ❜
❛ Love isn't something we invented. It's observable, powerful. It has to mean something. ❜
❛ Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space. Maybe we should trust that, even if we can't understand it yet. ❜
❛ I let you all down. ❜
❛ Pray you never learn just how good it can be to see another face. ❜
❛ I hadn't a lot of hope to begin with, but after so long, I had none. ❜
❛ I just want to know if you left me here to die. I just have to know. ❜
❛ There are some things that aren't meant to be known. ❜
❛ We can care deeply, selflessly about those we know, but that empathy rarely extends beyond our line of sight. ❜
❛ Panic won't help. We just have to keep working, same as ever. ❜
❛ Before you get all teary, remember that as a robot I have to do anything you say. ❜
❛ A machine doesn't improvise well because you can't program a fear of death. Our survival instinct is our single greatest source of inspiration. ❜
❛ When I left Earth, I thought I was prepared to die. ❜
❛ Nothing worked out the way it was supposed to. ❜
❛ You fucking coward. ❜
❛ Listen, if you're not going to go, let your family go. Just save your family. ❜
❛ Dad's not coming back. He never was coming back. ❜
❛ You're gonna save everybody? ❜
❛ He left us here to die. ❜
❛ Don't judge me. You were never tested like I was. Few men have been. ❜
❛ You're feeling it, aren't you? The survival instinct. That's what drove me. it's what drives all of us. ❜
❛ I'm sorry, I can't watch you go through this. I'm sorry. I thought I could, but I can't. ❜
❛ The only way humans have ever figured out of getting somewhere is to leave something behind. ❜
❛ No, don't go. Don't go, you idiot. ❜
❛ They didn't bring us here to change the past. ❜
❛ I don't care who describes it, there is no way for it to be exaggerated. It was that bad. ❜
❛ Is this really what it was like? ❜
❛ I don't care much for this pretending we're back where we started. I want to know where we are. Where we're going. ❜
❛ Nobody believed me. But I knew you'd come back. ❜
❛ No parent should have to watch their own child die. ❜

INCEPTION (2010) SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ Are you here to kill me? ❜
❛ For this to work, you have to let me in. ❜
❛ If I jumped, would I survive? ❜
❛ I thought you might be missing me. ❜
❛ Killing him would just wake him up… but pain? Pain is in the mind. ❜
❛ You’ve lived up to your reputation. ❜
❛ Every man for himself. ❜
❛ It’s getting worse, isn’t it? ❜
❛ One apology’s all you’re getting. ❜
❛ How would you like to go home? ❜
❛ We should walk away from this. ❜
❛ Assemble your team. And choose your people more wisely. ❜
❛ Be realistic. They’d never understand- they’d lock me up and throw away the key. Or worse. ❜
❛ This is what I have. This is what you taught me. ❜
❛ You told me it would free me. ❜
❛ Come back to reality. Please. ❜
❛ It’s not, strictly speaking, legal. ❜
❛ Our dreams feel real while we’re in them. It’s only when we wake up we realize things were strange, ❜
❛ How did we get here? Where are we? ❜
❛ Mind telling your subconscious to take it easy? ❜
❛ Wake me up! ❜
❛ The only way to wake from inside the dream is to die. ❜
❛ I’m not going to open my mind to someone like that. ❜
❛ I’ve never seen anyone pick it up so fast. ❜
❛ Word is, you’re not welcome in these parts. ❜
❛ You wouldn’t sell me out. ❜
❛ This is your idea of losing a tail? ❜
❛ A dream within a dream? ❜
❛ The only way to know you’ve done the job is if I go in with you. ❜
❛ Do you still dream? ❜
❛ It’s an elegant solution to keeping track of reality. ❜
❛ Why can’t you go home? ❜
❛ They think I killed her. ❜
❛ Your condescension, as always, is much appreciated. ❜
❛ I hope you’ve got something a little more elegant in mind than shooting me in the head like last time. ❜
❛ You know how to find me… you know what you have to do. ❜
❛ You shouldn’t be in here. ❜
❛ In my dreams we’re still together. ❜
❛ But these aren’t just dreams, are they? They’re memories. ❜
❛ What’ve you got buried down there that you regret? ❜
❛ And whatever I do, the dream’s always the same. ❜
❛ Do you know what it is to be a lover? To be half of a whole? ❜
❛ I’ll tell you a riddle. ❜
❛ You’re waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you don’t know for sure. But it doesn’t matter. How can it not matter to you where that train will take you? ❜
❛ You promised! You said we’d be together! ❜
❛ You said we’d grow old together! ❜
❛ I’ll come back. I need you to stay here on your own for now. ❜
❛ You knew the risks and you didn’t tell us. ❜
❛ There wasn’t meant to be any risk. We weren’t supposed to be dealing with a load of gunfire. ❜
❛ Downwards is the only way forwards. We have to carry on. ❜
❛ You’ve got an hour. Get talking. ❜
❛ He loved you. In his way ❜
❛ You’ll have become an old man, filled with regret, waiting to die alone. ❜
❛ You can lose track of what’s real. ❜
❛ It’s not so bad at first, being gods. The problem is knowing that it’s not real. ❜
❛ You don’t know you’re dreaming. ❜
❛ I’m going to jump. And you’re coming with me. ❜
❛ Let’s go back inside and talk about this, please. ❜
❛ I’m asking you to take a leap of faith. ❜
❛ You’re not responsible for the idea that destroyed her. ❜
❛ Shouldn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling. ❜
❛ You must’ve noticed by now how much time [name] spends doing things he says never to do. ❜
❛ My job is to protect you from any attempt to access your mind through your dreams. ❜
❛ You’re not safe here. Trust me. They’re coming for you. ❜
❛ We’re in a dream. ❜
❛ Breathe. Remember the training. ❜
❛ So you… you’re not real? ❜
❛ You know all this, you just have to remember it. ❜
❛ I’ll lead them on a merry chase. ❜
❛ We’re here. Are we clear to proceed? ❜
❛ So that’s it, then? We failed. ❜
❛ Can I trust you to do what’s needed? ❜
❛ An idea is like a virus, resilient, highly contagious, and an idea can grow. ❜
❛ The smallest seed of an idea can grow to define or destroy your world. ❜
❛ So certain of your world. Of what’s real. ❜
❛ I know what’s real. ❜
❛ Admit it. You don’t believe in one reality anymore. ❜
❛ Choose to be here. Choose me. ❜
❛ You judged me for believing the very same thing. ❜
❛ You keep telling yourself what you know, but what do you believe? What do you feel? ❜
❛ You infected my mind. You betrayed me. ❜
❛ You can still keep your promise. We can still be together… right here. ❜
❛ I’m not going to let you lose yourself in here! ❜
❛ I’m the only thing you do believe in anymore. ❜
❛ I’m not capable of imagining you in all your complexity and… perfection. ❜
❛ I miss you more than I can bear, but we had our time together. And now I have to let you go. ❜
❛ I came back for you. I came to remind you of what you once knew. ❜
❛ This world is not real. ❜
❛ You came to convince me to honor our arrangement? ❜

MOCKINGJAY - PART TWO (2015) SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ My family hasn't come to see me. ❜
❛ You can't trust her! She's a monster! ❜
❛ I wanna help the rebels in any way I can. ❜
❛ That's not [name]. ❜
❛ I don't stand a chance if he doesn't get better. You'll never let him go. ❜
❛ That's like kissing someone who's drunk. Doesn't count. ❜
❛ I guess there are no rules anymore about what a person can do to another person. ❜
❛ We took heavy losses. ❜
❛ You think of it like a wolf den. You're not gonna fight your way in, so you've got two choices. You trap the wolves inside, or you flush 'em out. ❜
❛ There's gotta be a better way. ❜
❛ Even if those civilians are just moppin' floors, they're helping the enemy. And if they have to die, I can live with that. ❜
❛ With that kinda thinking, you can kill whoever you want. ❜
❛ Sometimes killing isn't personal. Figured if anyone knew that, it was you. ❜
❛ I, of all people, know that it's always personal. ❜
❛ Give me one reason I shouldn't shoot you. ❜
❛ I guess that's the problem, isn't it? We each have every reason to want to kill each other. So if you wanna kill me, do it. ❜
❛ I am done being a piece in his game. ❜
❛ These people are not your enemy. ❜
❛ He corrupts everyone and everything. He turns the best of us against each other. Stop killing for him. ❜
❛ You have a habit of burying people before they're dead. ❜
❛ We toasted a glorious era coming to its bitter end. ❜
❛ Oh, that speech you gave. Oh, man, feel - I mean, I still have goosebumps. ❜
❛ What about you? You feeling totally safe? ❜
❛ So what are your injuries? ❜
❛ I mean, it's everybody's job to keep you alive. ❜
❛ Is that why you hate me? ❜
❛ Feel free to take any of this personally. ❜
❛ They messed us up pretty good, didn't they? ❜
❛ He's strapped down. He can't hurt you. ❜
❛ It doesn't matter what you want. It's for [name]. ❜
❛ I watched you die. ❜
❛ I was never the nice one. You were. ❜
❛ Why would I take a beating like that for you? ❜
❛ [name] says that everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie. ❜
❛ People said you loved me. ❜
❛ We're very familiar with each other's screams. ❜
❛ I'm going to kill [name]. Nothing good is safe while he's alive. ❜
❛ He needs to see my eyes when I kill him. ❜
❛ Anybody can kill anybody. Even a president. You just have to be willing to sacrifice yourself. ❜
❛ This isn't just adolescent, it's insubordination. ❜
❛ From what I see here, we've already made history. But history doesn't stop to celebrate. And we're facing an enemy that will not change and will never surrender.❜
❛ If we die, let it be for a cause and not a spectacle. ❜
❛ I know when you're gonna go off on your own. You gonna leave me behind, too? ❜
❛ You'll do whatever you're ordered to do, soldier. It's not your job to ask questions.❜
❛ In the event of capture, you'll be given a nightlock pill. A poison that acts immediately. ❜
❛ If it really came down to it, you think you could shoot him? ❜
❛ I'm plannin' for you to have a long life. ❜
❛ I've seen that look. You're trying to decide whether or not you should kill me. ❜
❛ I'm sorry. I just can't tell what's real and what's made up anymore. ❜
❛ This is a bad spot. We need to move now. ❜
❛ So now that we're dead, what are we gonna do? ❜
❛ It's only a matter of time before I snap again. I'm not in control. ❜
❛ If it gets to that point, I'll kill you myself. ❜
❛ Nobody knows we're alive. This is our chance. ❜
❛ Look at me. We're gonna get through this. I promise. ❜
❛ You're still trying to protect me. Real or not real? ❜
❛ That's what you and I do. Keep each other alive. ❜
❛ Stay with me. ❜
❛ Everyone that's dead is dead because of me. ❜
❛ I never meant for this to happen. I failed. I... I killed them. ❜
❛ If you end all of this, all those deaths, they mean something. ❜
❛ I have moments when I'm here. And my memories are getting better, but other times it's like I'm sleepwalking. ❜
❛ We got one shot. Let's make it count. ❜
❛ Let me come with you, okay? I can be a good distraction. ❜
❛ If I see you again, it's gonna be a different world. ❜
❛ I was hoping you'd find your way here. There are so many things we should discuss. ❜
❛ We both know I'm not above killing children. But I'm not wasteful. I take life for specific reasons. ❜
❛ I'm afraid we've both been played for fools. ❜
❛ Oh, my dear. I thought we'd agreed never to lie to each other. ❜
❛ You never came to see me. ❜
❛ All I know is that I was supposed to take care of your family. Now I'm sorry I couldn't. ❜
❛ Thirst for blood is a difficult urge to satisfy. ❜
❛ We need to stop viewing each other as enemies. ❜
❛ I'll say this for you, you don't disappoint. ❜
❛ You were exactly who I believed you were. ❜
❛ I'm sorry so much burden fell on you. I know you'll never escape it. But if I had to put you through it again for this outcome, I would. ❜
❛ I couldn't let you go without a proper goodbye. ❜
❛ We've all suffered so much. But we owe it to their memories and to our children to do our best with these lives. ❜
❛ You love me. Real or not real? ❜

MOCKINGJAY - PART ONE (2014) SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ Start simple. Start with what you know is true. ❜
❛ I wish she was dead. I wish they were all dead and we were, too. ❜
❛ Please know how welcome you are. I hope you'll find some comfort with us. ❜
❛ I apologize. I wish you had more time to recover, but unfortunately, we don't have that luxury. ❜
❛ [name] was the one who was supposed to live. ❜
❛ This revolution is about everyone. It's about all of us. And we need a voice. ❜
❛ No one else can do this but her. ❜
❛ Obviously, we need to make it personal. Remind her who the real enemy is. ❜
❛ She can't handle it. The Games destroyed her. ❜
❛ People don't always show up the way you want them to. ❜
❛ I can't believe you're going through with this. You can say "no." ❜
❛ I won't say "rebels." These are senseless acts of defiance. And I won't legitimize them. ❜
❛ Never let them see you bleed. ❜
❛ To those who ignore the warnings of history, prepare to pay the ultimate price. ❜
❛ To murder innocent people, that costs everything that you are. ❜
❛ No, we were not part of any rebel plan. We had no idea what was going on. ❜
❛ I'm sorry. It's just a nightmare. ❜
❛ Will you stay with me? ❜
❛ Tell me what's happening. I'm good at keeping secrets. ❜
❛ If you want something, you just have to ask. ❜
❛ This is worth the risk. She's worth the risk. ❜
❛ You're not a prisoner. ❜
❛ If you wanna play a prisoner of war, fine. Stay here and rot. ❜
❛ The thing with revolutions, they're a tender flame. They need to be nurtured with a little kindling and warmth. ❜
❛ You know what could use a revolution? That hair. ❜
❛ I never knew anyplace could be so strict. ❜
❛ You know, everything old can be made new again. ❜
❛ Everyone's either gonna wanna kiss you, kill you, or be you. ❜
❛ And that, my friends, is how a revolution dies. ❜
❛ This how you greet an old friend? ❜
❛ Maybe I don't recognize you sober. ❜
❛ You'll never be able to guarantee my safety. I wanna go. ❜
❛ This has gotta be fast. In and out. ❜
❛ Any hope you can give them, it's worth it. ❜
❛ I can't help them. ❜
❛ You here to fight with us? ❜
❛ If you think for one second that the Capitol will ever treat us fairly you are lying to yourselves. ❜
❛ We know who they are and what they do. This is what they do! And we must fight back. ❜
❛ Fire is catching. And if we burn, you burn with us! ❜
❛ There is no progress without compromise. No victory without sacrifice. ❜
❛ Together, we will become an alliance to be reckoned with. ❜
❛ You don't like hearing a fight song at a funeral? ❜
❛ He's changed so much already. What are they doing to him? ❜
❛ You must love her very much to be able to forgive her. ❜
❛ And ask yourself, can you trust the people you're working with? Do you know what they really want? ❜
❛ I would never say what he just said. Not if they tortured me. Not with a gun to my head. ❜
❛ 'Cause I'm in pain. That's the only way that I can get your attention. ❜
❛ Little on the nose, but, of course, so is war. ❜
❛ What have they done to you? ❜
❛ Think about it. How will this end? What will be left? No one can survive this. ❜
❛ We have to get him out before they kill him. ❜
❛ I wasn't gonna leave him behind. I couldn't live with myself. ❜
❛ Talk about something. Anything. ❜
❛ You love him. I'm not saying in what way. Maybe you don't even know yourself. But anyone paying attention can see it. ❜
❛ I drag myself outta nightmares and there's no relief in waking up. ❜
❛ Takes ten times longer to put yourself back together than it does to fall apart. ❜
❛ He's punishing [name] to punish me. ❜
❛ I suppose you're just gonna hide down here forever? ❜
❛ You know, you're the only real friend I have down here. ❜
❛ To make themselves feel better, my patrons would make presents of money or jewelry. But I found a much more valuable form of payment. Secrets. ❜
❛ Poison. The perfect weapon for a snake. ❜
❛ I don't imagine you're calling to thank me for the roses. ❜
❛ I never asked for this. ❜
❛ Please, just let him go. I will disappear. You will never have to see me ever again. ❜
❛ You couldn't run from this... any more than you could have run from the Games. ❜
❛ Please. You've won. You've already beaten me. Release [name]. And take me instead. ❜
❛ We're long past the opportunity for noble sacrifice. ❜
❛ I've always kept my promises, haven't I? ❜
❛ I doubt you know what honesty is anymore. ❜
❛ It's the things we love most that destroy us. ❜
❛ It's the worst torture in the world. Waiting, when you know there's nothing you can do. ❜
❛ Whatever strength, courage, madness, keeps us going, you find it, at times like these. You have it. It's what's kept you alive all this time. And it won't fail you now. ❜
❛ They let us go. ❜
❛ They turned him into a weapon. To kill you. ❜
❛ The fear is the most difficult thing to overcome. We're hardwired to remember fear best. ❜

CATCHING FIRE (2013) SENTENCE STARTERS
feel free to change pronouns / terms / tense as needed!
❛ You’re okay. You’re safe. It’s okay. You’re here with me. ❜
❛ It’s only a few weeks. I’ll be back before the snow melts. ❜
❛ A lot can happen in a few weeks. ❜
❛ I did what I had to do to survive. If I didn’t, I’d be dead. ❜
❛ If you wanted to be babied, you should’ve asked [name]. ❜
❛ You are a strangely dislikeable person. But you do have your virtues. ❜
❛ Such bravery. Such spirit. Such…contempt. ❜
❛ My dear, I think we can make this so much simpler if we agree not to lie to each other. What do you think? ❜
❛ What is to prevent, say, an uprising? That can lead to revolution. And then, in a fraction of time, the whole system collapses. ❜
❛ You should imagine thousands upon thousands of your people dead. This town of yours reduced to ashes. Imagine it gone. ❜
❛ Tell me. At what point did he realize the depth of your indifference towards him? ❜
❛ I don’t want to kill you. I want us to be friends. But if not friends, then allies. ❜
❛ That was nice acting. Almost thought that kiss was real. ❜
❛ All you need to do is give a few speeches, wave to the crowds, and enjoy your time in the spotlight. ❜
❛ I’m really not in the mood for a lecture. I’ll apologize to [name] later. ❜
❛ You don’t have to apologize to anybody. Including me. ❜
❛ If you can stop looking at me like I’m wounded, then I can quit acting like it. ❜
❛ I’ve never been very good at friends. ❜
❛ She was too young, too gentle. And I couldn’t save her. I’m sorry. ❜
❛ Wait! No! Leave him alone! ❜
❛ I never meant for anyone to get killed. ❜
❛ I’m sorry. I didn’t know what to do. He threatened to kill my family. ❜
❛ Well, I have family, too. Okay? People that I need to protect. ❜
❛ Come here. You’re gonna be okay. I promise. ❜
❛ It was just a dream. I’m sorry. ❜
❛ Will you stay with me? ❜
❛ We could get married. ❜
❛ Eyes bright. Chins up. Smiles on. I’m talking to you, [name]. ❜
❛ Everybody who’s anybody is here. And they all want to meet you. ❜
❛ It’s appalling. Still, if you abandon your moral judgment, it can be fun. ❜
❛ Well, maybe it was you who inspired me to come back. ❜
❛ She’s not who they think she is. She’s not a leader. She just wants to save her own skin. It’s as simple as that. ❜
❛ I agree she should die. But in the right way. At the right time. ❜
❛ It’s moves and countermoves. ❜
❛ It won’t work. Fear does not work as long as they have hope. ❜
❛ They’re gonna hate her so much they might just kill her for you. ❜
❛ If we leave right now, we can be far away from here by tonight. ❜
❛ [name] threatened to have you killed. ❜
❛ You know how I feel about you. But I can’t think about anyone that way right now. ❜
❛ The only thing that I can think about every day, every waking moment, is how afraid I am. There’s no room for anything else. ❜
❛ You haven’t hurt people. You’ve given them an opportunity. They just have to be brave enough to take it. ❜
❛ We have to go before they kill us. They will kill us. ❜
❛ People are looking to you. ❜
❛ I don’t want anyone looking to me. I can’t help them. ❜
❛ Look, you’re new here. Trust me, I’m trying to help you. ❜
❛ Thought you’d be gone by now. ❜
❛ I’m not going anywhere. I’m gonna stay right here. Cause all kinds of trouble. ❜
❛ How can we live like this? How can anybody live like this? ❜
❛ You understand that whatever I do comes back to you. I don’t want you to get hurt. ❜
❛ You don’t have to protect me. ❜
❛ If you cannot contain [name], then I will have to terminate her. ❜
❛ And you’ve come to, what? Ask me to… die? ❜
❛ What’s it say that [name] was here 45 minutes ago begging to save your life and you only just now show up? ❜
❛ You could live 100 lifetimes and never deserve that boy. ❜
❛ There are survivors. There’s no winners. ❜
❛ Do whatever you can. [name] lives. Not me. Promise me. ❜
❛ How could any of us even trust each other? ❜
❛ It’s not about trust. It’s about staying alive. ❜
❛ You look pretty terrifying in that getup. ❜
❛ I haven’t dealt in anything as common as money in years. ❜
❛ I’m an open book. Everybody always seems to know my secrets before I know them myself. ❜
❛ So what do you think? Now that the whole world wants to sleep with you? ❜
❛ I guess we just try to figure out who we trust least and work our way backwards from there. ❜
❛ There’s always a flaw in the system. ❜
❛ How are we gonna kill these people? ❜
❛ God! Does anybody actually believe this? ❜
❛ You know, I’m getting totally screwed over here. ❜
❛ Well, you know what? Fuck that! And fuck everybody that had anything to do with it! ❜
❛ Just be your usual self. Actually, be your happier self. ❜
❛ Make him pay for it. ❜
❛ We’re a team. Aren’t we? ❜
❛ You both deserved so much better. ❜
❛ Any last advice? ❜
❛ Stay alive. ❜
❛ Remember who the real enemy is. ❜
❛ I don’t want to be with anyone else in there. Just you. ❜
❛ Look at this. They’re holding hands. I want them dead. ❜
❛ Good thing we’re allies, right? ❜
❛ Well, I guess we’re not holding hands any more. ❜
❛ I don’t care about any of them. ❜
❛ Be careful. There’s a force field up there. ❜
❛ Oh, my God. You were dead. Your heart stopped. ❜
❛ Someday I want to love someone that much. ❜
❛ We should set up camp. Take turns sleeping. I can take first watch. ❜
❛ That thing I did back there for [name]? That was called β€œsaving his life.” ❜
❛ If I wanted to kill either of you, I would’ve done it by now. ❜
❛ Don’t worry about anything else. I’ll be right here with you. It’s okay. It’s okay. ❜
❛ She sacrificed herself for me and I didn’t even know her name. ❜
❛ They know they’re outnumbered. I doubt they’ll attack again. ❜
❛ They can’t hurt me. There’s no one left that I love. ❜
❛ Love is weird. ❜
❛ I don’t want to be the one that shoots first. ❜
❛ They’re not gonna make that same mistake again. ❜
❛ You know and I know there’s only one person walking out of here. ❜
❛ If you die and I live, I’d have nothing. Nobody else that I care about. ❜
❛ See, this is why no one lets you make the plans. ❜
❛ We couldn’t tell you with [name] watching. It was too risky. Better for you to know nothing. ❜
❛ You have been our mission from the beginning. ❜
❛ This is the revolution. ❜
❛ You promised me that you would save him over me! ❜
❛ You promised me! You’re a liar. ❜
❛ You’re okay. You’ve just been asleep for a few days. ❜

THE HUNGER GAMES (2012) SENTENCE STARTERS
feel free to change pronouns / terms / tense as needed!
❛ It’s okay. You were just dreaming, you were dreaming. ❜
❛ We could do it, you know? Take off. Live in the woods. ❜
❛ They’d catch us. Cut out our tongues or worse. ❜
❛ I’m never having kids. ❜
❛ You need to get out of here. ❜
❛ Shh, I don’t have much time. ❜
❛ No matter what you feel, you will be there for her. Do you understand? ❜
❛ Don’t cry. Don’t. ❜
❛ You’re stronger than they are. You are. ❜
❛ They just want a good show. That’s all they want. ❜
❛ You know if you don’t want to talk, I understand. But I just don’t think there’s anything wrong with getting a little bit of help. ❜
❛ Embrace the probability of your imminent death; and know, in your heart, that there’s nothing I can do to save you. ❜
❛ Now that’s a good way to get killed. ❜
❛ Oh! Joy. Why don’t you join us? I’m just giving some life-saving advice. ❜
❛ Give me a chance to wake up sweetheart. ❜
❛ That is mahogany! ❜
❛ You really wanna know how to stay alive? You get people to like you. Oh! Not what you were expecting. ❜
❛ Some water, a knife or even some matches can mean the difference between life and death. ❜
❛ That was one of the bravest things I’ve ever seen. ❜
❛ I’m sorry that this happened to you. And I’m here to help you in any way I can. ❜
❛ I’m gonna do something that they’re gonna remember. ❜
❛ We are all anybody’s going to be talking about! ❜
❛ Exposure can kill as easily as a knife. ❜
❛ They can be arrogant. And arrogance can be a big problem. ❜
❛ I hear you can shoot. ❜
❛ I have no chance of winning. None! ❜
❛ Those guys are looking at you like you’re a meal. ❜
❛ I think you have a shadow. ❜
❛ Make sure they remember you. ❜
❛ Thank you, for your consideration. ❜
❛ You realize that your actions reflect badly on all of us, not just you. ❜
❛ I hope you noticed, we have a serious situation. ❜
❛ Loosen your corset and have a drink. ❜
❛ I would have given anything to see it. ❜
❛ I thought they hated me. ❜
❛ They must have liked your guts. ❜
❛ Hope. It is the only thing stronger than fear. ❜
❛ A little hope is effective. A lot of hope is dangerous. Spark is fine, as long as it’s contained. ❜
❛ Don’t you know how beautiful you look? ❜
❛ I don’t know how to make people like me. How do you make people like you? ❜
❛ Just be yourself. I’ll be there the whole time, and just pretend you’re talking to me. ❜
❛ I think someone here is a little nervous. ❜
❛ So, tell me. Is there a special girl back home? ❜
❛ Well, that’s bad luck. ❜
❛ What the hell was that?! You don’t talk to me and then you say you have a crush on me? ❜
❛ He made me look weak. ❜
❛ He made you look desirable. Which in your case, can’t hurt sweetheart! ❜
❛ We are not star-crossed lovers. ❜
❛ Manners! ❜
❛ Can’t sleep? ❜
❛ I just don’t want them to change me. ❜
❛ I just don’t wanna be another piece in their game, you know? ❜
❛ I just keep wishing I could think of a way to show them that they don’t own me. ❜
❛ If I’m gonna die, I wanna still be me. ❜
❛ I’m not allowed to bet, but if I could I’d bet on you. ❜
❛ You sure she went this way? ❜
❛ Are you sure we shouldn’t just kill him now? ❜
❛ Let’s just wait her out. ❜
❛ Run! Damn it. Go! ❜
❛ Get out of here! What’re you doing? Go! ❜
❛ Don’t just sit there! Look at me! ❜
❛ It’s okay. I’m not gonna hurt you. ❜
❛ How long was I asleep? ❜
❛ So what happened when I was out? ❜
❛ Is all that true? You and him. ❜
❛ That sounds tempting. ❜
❛ We need a signal, in case one of us gets held up. ❜
❛ We’re gonna be okay. ❜
❛ I wanna see if she’s gonna figure out this booby trap. ❜
❛ It’s okay. You’re okay. You’re alright. ❜
❛ You have to win. ❜
❛ Can you sing? ❜
❛ Don’t kill her. You’d just create a martyr. ❜
❛ I know you know how to handle a mob, you’ve done it before. ❜
❛ If you can’t scare them. Give them something to root for. ❜
❛ Everyone likes an underdog. ❜
❛ There are lots of underdogs. And I think if you could see them, you would root for them either. ❜
❛ I like you, be careful. ❜
❛ It’s bad, huh? ❜
❛ I’m not gonna leave you! I’m not gonna do that. ❜
❛ We’ll figure something out. ❜
❛ You feel hot. ❜
❛ I remember the first time I saw you. ❜
❛ Well, say something. ❜
❛ I’m not good at saying something. ❜
❛ You’re not going alone. ❜
❛ You’re not gonna risk your life for me. I’m not gonna let you. ❜
❛ You would do it for me, wouldn’t you? ❜
❛ Now there’s no way I’m letting you go. ❜
❛ Please. Stay. ❜
❛ It’s too bad that you couldn’t help your little friend. ❜
❛ Well, we killed her. And now, we’re gonna kill you. ❜
❛ You shouldn’t have gone. You said you weren’t gonna go. ❜
❛ We could go home. ❜
❛ We should probably hunt around here. We don’t have any food left. ❜
❛ That’s nightlock! You’d be dead in a minute! ❜
❛ You scared me to death. Damn you. ❜
❛ I never even knew she was following me. ❜
❛ Go on. I’m dead anyway. I always was, right? I didn’t know that until now. ❜
❛ I can still do it. One more kill. It’s the only thing I know how to do. ❜
❛ One of us has to die. They have to have their victor. ❜
❛ Trust me. ❜
❛ They’re not happy with you. ❜
❛ Well, I’m sorry it didn’t go the way they planned. You know I’m not very happy with them either. ❜
❛ This is serious. Not just for you. They don’t take these things lightly. ❜
❛ When they ask, you say you couldn’t help yourself. ❜
❛ So what happens when we get back? ❜
❛ I guess we try to forget. ❜
❛ I don’t wanna forget. ❜

❛ Man invented God. This is older than that. ❜
❛ Do you guys worship the devil? ❜
❛ Sometimes I will want it to rain, and a pipe will burst in my room and it will just get flooded. Or I will want it just to be quiet, and I will wish for it, and I will go deaf for three days straight. ❜

❛ I don't know what's happening to me. I can't eat. I can't sleep. ❜

❛ You should let him suffer. ❜
❛ It's not for you to judge suffering. ❜

❛ Whatever you send out you get back times three. ❜
❛ You want to invoke the spirit? You must be experienced to do this. It's very dangerous. ❜
❛ You know, the serpent is a very powerful being. You should respect it. ❜

❛ I know you think we're getting what we want now, but it's going to come back to us threefold. ❜

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (1994) SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ So you want me to tell you the story of my life. ❜
❛ What were you going to do? Kill me, drink my blood? ❜
❛ I'm flesh and blood, but not human. I haven't been human for 200 years. ❜
❛ I couldn't bear the pain of their loss. I longed to be released from it. ❜
❛ You lack the courage of your convictions. Do it! ❜
❛ Don't be afraid. I'm going to give you the choice l never had. ❜
❛ Your body's dying. Pay no attention. It happens to us all. ❜
❛ No words can describe it. Might as well ask Heaven what it sees. No human can know. ❜
❛ You'll get used to killing. Just forget about that mortal coil. You'll become accustomed to it, all too quickly. ❜
❛ There's nothing in the world now that doesn't hold some...Fascination. ❜
❛ The dark gift is different for each of us. But one thing is true of everyone. We grow stronger as we go along. ❜
❛ That's more like it! Anger! Fury! ❜
❛ Remember: Life without me would be even more unbearable. ❜
❛ You must know something about the meaning of it all. ❜
❛ They know about us. They watch us dine on empty plates and drink from empty glasses. ❜
❛ Forgive me if I have a lingering respect for life. ❜
❛ Perfect! Just burn the place! Burn everything we own! Have us living in a field, like cattle! ❜
❛ What if there is no Hell? Or they don't want us there? Ever think of that? ❜
❛ You're in love with your mortal nature. You resist what can bring you peace. ❜
❛ We're predators, whose all-seeing eyes give them detachment! ❜
❛ It's your coffin, enjoy it. Most of us never get to know what it feels like. ❜
❛ Kill them swiftly if you will, but do it! For do not doubt you are a killer! ❜
❛ My philosopher. My martyr. "Never take a human life.” ❜
❛ Pain is terrible for you. You feel it like no other creature, because you're a vampire. ❜
❛ Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately, and so shall we. ❜
❛ A little child, she was. But also a fierce killer, now capable of the ruthless pursuit of blood with all a child's demanding. ❜
❛ Remember, never in our home! ❜
❛ Time can pass quickly for mortals when they're happy. With us, it was the same. The years flew by like minutes. ❜
❛ More melancholy nonsense. You grow more like [name] daily! ❜
❛ Do you want me to be a doll forever? ❜
❛ Can't I change like everyone else? ❜
❛ Be glad I made you what you are. You'd be dead now if I hadn't. ❜
❛ You will never grow old. And you will never die. ❜
❛ I thought of all the things I'd done and couldn't undo. And I longed for one second's peace. ❜
❛ He will never let us go. ❜
❛ What is it now? You irritate me. Your very presence irritates me! ❜
❛ Is that supposed to frighten me? ❜
❛ I came to make peace with you. Even though you're the father of lies. I want things to be as they were. ❜
❛ Why do you say such things? ❜
❛ I promise I'll get rid of the bodies. ❜
❛ We forgive each other then? ❜
❛ Good night, sweet prince. May flights of devils wing you to your rest. ❜
❛ Should we burn him? Bury him? What would he have liked? ❜
❛ You've been a very, very naughty little girl. ❜
❛ We deserve your vengeance. ❜
❛ For what could the damned really have to say to the damned? ❜
❛ There are no vampires in Transylvania? No Count Dracula? ❜
❛ I've searched the world for an immortal and this is what I find! ❜
❛ No one will harm you. I won't allow it. ❜
❛ Vampires who pretend to be humans pretending to be vampires. How avant-garde. ❜
❛ Do you know what it means to be loved by Death? ❜
❛ You die when you kill. You feel you deserve to die and you stint on nothing. ❜
❛ But perhaps...this is the only real evil left. ❜
❛ I know nothing of God. Or the Devil. I have never seen a vision, nor learned a secret that would damn or save my soul. ❜
❛ You fear too much. So much you make me fear. ❜
❛ There is but one crime among us vampires here. It is the crime that means death to any vampire: To kill your own kind. ❜
❛ Danger holds you to me. ❜
❛ Love holds you to me. ❜
❛ You would leave me for [name] if he beckoned you. ❜
❛ Is that what I should do? Let you go? ❜
❛ If you want to save her, send her away! ❜
❛ The world changes. We do not. Therein lies the irony that finally kills us. ❜
❛ I need you to make contact with this age. ❜
❛ A vampire with a human soul. An immortal with a mortal's passion. ❜
❛ You are beautiful, my friend. [name] must have wept when he made you. ❜
❛ I knew him. Knew him well enough not to mourn his passing. ❜
❛ Your evil is that you cannot be evil! And I shall suffer for it no longer! ❜
❛ I haven't tears enough for what you've done to me! ❜
❛ Oh, God! I love you still! That's the torment of it! ❜
❛ Who'll care for me, my love, my dark angel, when you are gone? ❜
❛ Bear me no ill will, my love. We are now even. ❜
❛ What has died is the last breath in me that was human. ❜
❛ Your only company will be your screams. ❜
❛ Maybe it was to quench those tears forever that I took such revenge. ❜
❛ You can teach me this? To be without regret? ❜
❛ What if all I have is my suffering? My regret? ❜
❛ I know you regret nothing. You feel nothing. If that's all I have left to learn, I can do that on my own. ❜
❛ You've come home to me then? ❜
❛ I'm a spirit of preternatural flesh. Detached. Unchangeable. Empty. ❜
❛ That's it? No, it can't end like that. ❜
❛ What I wouldn't give to be like you, to have your power, to have seen the things you have seen. ❜
❛ You want a companion. You want a link to the outside world. That's me. Take me.❜
❛ Do you like this? Do you like being food for the immortals? Do you like dying? ❜
❛ I assume I need no introduction. ❜

PRACTICAL MAGIC (1998) SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ She knew that when you hear the sound of the deathwatch beetle the man you love is doomed to die. ❜
❛ In this house, we have chocolate cake for breakfast. We never bother with silly things like bedtimes or brushing our teeth. ❜
❛ So when you find yourself the center of attention, It's not that they hate you. It's that, well...We're different. ❜
❛ Even you have to admit, any man who gets involved with an Owens woman.is bound to end up 6 feet under. ❜
❛ My little witch, Iet's go inside and do some spells. ❜
❛ Be careful what you wish for. ❜
❛ I hope I never fall in love. ❜
❛ The guy I dreamed of doesn't exist. And if he doesn't exist, I'll never die of a broken heart. ❜
❛ I hate it here. I want to go where no one's even heard of us. ❜
❛ We'll grow old together. It'll be you and me living in a big house. These two old biddies with all these cats. I bet we even die on the same day. ❜
❛ Darling, when will you understand that being normal is not necessarily a virtue. It denotes a lack of courage. ❜
❛ It was the curse, wasn't it? He died because I loved him so much! ❜
❛ I've never asked you for anything! I never asked for spells, but do this! You can bring him back. ❜
❛ I don't care what he comes back as. As long as he comes back. ❜
❛ What's wrong with you? We do not cast. We do not toy with people's lives. This is not a game. ❜
❛ She has all this power and doesn't use it! ❜
❛ Sometimes I feel there's a hole inside of me, an emptiness that at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could hear the ocean. ❜
❛ The moon tonight, there's a circle around it. A sign of trouble not far behind. ❜
❛ But still, sometimes when the wind is warm or the crickets sing...l dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. ❜
❛ I don't want them dancing naked under the moon. ❜
❛ The belladonna is in my bag. ❜
❛ Please, God, if you get us out of this, I'll be good. I'll have babies. ❜
❛ I had normal. I worked really hard to get that normal. ❜
❛ You have the worst taste in men. ❜
❛ Okay, I will get you out of this but when I do, we are definitely breaking up. ❜
❛ You won't believe it! We danced naked under the full moon! It was so fun! ❜
❛ I think a brownie for breakfast would fix you right up. ❜
❛ You've been away too long. Some things never change. ❜
❛ Hang onto your husbands, girls! ❜
❛ Midnight margaritas! ❜
❛ Since when is being a slut a crime in this family? ❜
❛ Something's going on. I can smell it. It's a very distinct smell. It's the smell of bullshit. ❜
❛ A cop looking for [name] wants to talk to you. And I think I'm having a heart attack. ❜
❛ And I know this sounds really strange, but I don't think I can lie to him. ❜
❛ On Halloween, they all jump off the roof and fly! ❜
❛ She's not saying they murdered him. Just that maybe they shook his hand and then he died. ❜
❛ If any man dared take on an Owens woman he'd live briefly in the euphoria of her love until meeting an untimely death. ❜
❛ Am I under some kind of surveillance? ❜
❛ Do you ever put your arms out and spin really fast? That's what love is like. It makes your heart race. It turns the world upside-down. But if you're not careful, if you don't keep your eyes on something still, you can lose your balance. ❜
❛ I got people telling me that you're up here cooking up placenta bars, that you're into devil worship... ❜
❛ You should come here on Halloween. You'd really see something. We all jump off the roof and fly. We kill our husbands too. ❜
❛ Do you have any idea how strange this all sounds to me? ❜
❛ Magic isn't just spells and potions. ❜
❛ It has power because you believe it does. ❜
❛ Wish you could believe in me. ❜
❛ We just stick to our stories. No body, no crime. ❜
❛ I. Me. Mine. That's all you can think about. You. It's all about you. ❜
❛ I'm sick and tired of cleaning up your messes. ❜
❛ You spend all your energy trying to fit in, be normal! But you'll never fit in. Because we're different! ❜
❛ All my life, I've wished I had half your talent. You're wasting yourself! ❜
❛ What if I told you I did kill him? What would you do? Would you send me to jail for life all because the world was short a man like [name]? ❜
❛ Someday you'll explain this all to me. ❜
❛ You killed his spirit, but I took his life. ❜
❛ I'll tell you all you need to know. How I did it, where I buried him. ❜
❛ You're saying what I'm feeling is just one of your spells? ❜
❛ If you stay, I wouldn't know if it was because of the spell, and you wouldn't know if it was because I didn't want to go to prison. ❜
❛ You know, all relationships have problems. ❜
❛ Curses only have power when you believe in them. And I don't. ❜
❛ You know what? I wished for you too. ❜
❛ Oh, dear. It seems we've not arrived in the nick of time. ❜
❛ This is what comes from dabbling. You can't practice witchcraft while you look down your nose at it. ❜
❛ You know the stuff everyone whispers about me…the hexes, the spells? Well, here's the thing. I'm a witch! ❜
❛ There's a little witch in all of us. ❜
❛ He wants me. Just me. Everyone will be safe. Just let him take me. ❜
❛ Don't die on me, please. Because we're supposed to die together, remember? The same time. You promised me that. And this is not that day. ❜
❛ What wouldn't I do for the right guy? ❜
❛ Can love travel back in time and heal a broken heart? ❜
❛ There are some things I know for certain: Always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder. Keep rosemary by your garden gate. Plant lavender for luck. And fall in love whenever you can. ❜

THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ I'm sorry for your loss, your...your losses, rather. ❜
❛ Nobody gets away with anything. Not really. ❜
❛ Don't lecture me about family values. You're just as shit in that department as I am. ❜
❛ That day was the last day we were all in the same place. Alive. ❜
❛ They will love you because I love you, and the only thing stronger than love is how scared they are of getting cut out of the will. ❜
❛ And most people go their whole, wasted, stupid lives without one minute of true resolution. Not me though. ❜
❛ You know what a resolution is? It's a deal you make with the future. ❜
❛ The people in charge of making us healthy make us sick. We cheat the dying. We fleece the poor. Promote the racist. Let the demons run amok. This world needs changing. ❜
❛ You're supposed to be shadowing me. Shadows don't fucking talk. ❜
❛ This is beneath you. And you're going to kill it. But you're better than all of this. And the minute you figure that out, you're going to be unstoppable. ❜
❛ There's no such thing as a step back. You go forward. If you hit a brick wall, you don't go back, you go through. ❜
❛ Nearly realized is the sweetest. It's better, I promise, in the moment just before than in the moment after. ❜
❛ You are consequence. And tonight, you are consequential. ❜
❛ You are a pretty, pretty little thing. ❜
❛ You wonder why people hate us. This is why. ❜
❛ Everybody knows that edible arrangements are what you send to people you hate. ❜
❛ If you start thinking this is reality, you'll just slip into the abyss. ❜
❛ We can talk about it after because I've had a shit day and I really just wanna starfish and forget the world. ❜
❛ Don't talk to me until I've come at least twice. ❜
❛ I love how deliciously, pointlessly mean you lot can be. ❜
❛ You still didn't need to come here though. It could have happened quiet. Peaceful. In bed. But I guess it's got to happen like this. ❜
❛ It's amazing how far you can get on denial. You know why so many people use denial to get by? Because it really fucking works. ❜
❛ You can't enhance this image? You see it all the time on TV. They hit a button, it enhances it. ❜
❛ I don't even own anything funeral black. ❜
❛ Satin is silk for poor people, no one should wear it to a funeral, unless they died in it. ❜
❛ Nobody knows they're the fall guy until they're falling.❜
❛ Women are the natural leaders of the species. Ancient Egypt had it right. ❜
❛ Okay, just because the door's open doesn't necessarily guarantee you a seat at the table. ❜
❛ You're not who I thought you were. ❜
❛ I really didn't want to think it, but...you're all fucking monsters. ❜
❛ Watching you shit on your principles would have been worth every fucking penny. ❜
❛ The mind of guilt is full of scorpions. And I wouldn't wish their sting on anyone. ❜
❛ Don't have to be smart to be dangerous. I'm not scared of rattlesnakes 'cause they're so smart. ❜
❛ You're so out of touch with your human side...you can't even listen to anything outside your own head. ❜
❛ I haven't seen you sleep in like...I mean, it's been a fucking long time. Like, horror movie long. ❜
❛ Life is insane. It is madness. The sooner you understand that, the better off you'll be. ❜
❛ The world might not be safe but listen to me, and listen carefully. I won't let anything happen to you. ❜
❛ All these terrible things and I thought, that's when people come together. But we've never been further apart. ❜
❛ Tell me it's worth it. Tell me you know the risk and I'll be there with you. I'll back you up. Just tell me. ❜
❛ Shut your mouth, get your shit together. The fuck is wrong with you? ❜
❛ Men, when they think they're immortal, all they want to do is fuck. When they figure out they're going to die, all they want to do is fuck. ❜
❛ It just makes you think, you know, life is so fucking short. ❜
❛ You don't have to be a tyrant, but if you don't want to be consistently cruel, then you have to be sufficiently brutal at least once to establish authority. ❜
❛ I thought it was an act. I figured you just played the housewife so you could keep a roof over your head. Spread your legs or suck his dick twice a week and you're set. You never have to work a day in your life. And I thought, "Good for her, she found her angle," but...this is really you. Isn't it? ❜
❛ Words got us into this, words can get us out. ❜
❛ You're a collection of impeccable, elaborate masks in orbit of a stunted heart. ❜
❛ There are certain things one shouldn't have to face in life. Time enough for self-reflection after. ❜
❛ I don't normally like to get my hands this dirty, but honey, you earned it. ❜
❛ I see you now. I look at you and I see... You. The poverty of you. ❜
❛ The real world is Darwinian. Survival, chaos, power. Leverage. ❜
❛ You feel it. In the air. We're sitting outside of time and space. ❜
❛ This is the moment luck meets opportunity. ❜
❛ In the ancient world, we'd seal this with blood, or spit. And then later, papyrus. But, a deal's a deal all over the world. ❜
❛ We're a... virus, I think. People, I mean. ❜
❛ But everyone loves something. And in that love there's collateral. ❜
❛ I say this with love. Let it go. Let it all go. ❜
❛ So I say, we stand tall and proud. Bill's come due. Let's not hide here in the basement like we've got something to be ashamed of. No. Not us. You and me against the world. ❜
❛ It may not have been perfect, but you can't say we didn't change the world. How many people can say that at the end? ❜
❛ I knew I would climb to the top of the tower on a pile of corpses. ❜
❛ It don't matter in the end why you did any of it. I don't fucking care why you did it. We don't want your confession, or your rationale, or your explanation. ❜

THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER SENTENCE STARTERS (part two / ep5-8)
❛ Your life will take a complete change of course. Tonight. ❜
❛ Women are the natural leaders of the species. Ancient Egypt had it right. ❜
❛ I know we haven't always seen eye-to-eye, but we have to pull together now, don't we? ❜
❛ Okay, just because the door's open doesn't necessarily guarantee you a seat at the table. ❜
❛ You're not who I thought you were. ❜
❛ I really didn't want to think it, but...you're all fucking monsters. ❜
❛ Watching you shit on your principles would have been worth every fucking penny. ❜
❛ Why, if it weren't for you, they would all still be alive today. ❜
❛ The mind of guilt is full of scorpions. And I wouldn't wish their sting on anyone. ❜
❛ I don't need nor want to humiliate you, you're doing fine on your own. ❜
❛ Smart girls are only sexy until they don't wanna fuck you, and then they're competition, and then what do you do? You take them down a peg. ❜
❛ Don't have to be smart to be dangerous. I'm not scared of rattlesnakes 'cause they're so smart. ❜
❛ I assume I'm authorized to negotiate on your behalf with this individual? Unless you object right now, I assume I'm authorized to approach these negotiations from a hostile posture. ❜
❛ You're so out of touch with your human side...you can't even listen to anything outside your own head. ❜
❛ You've got to be smart. You have to realize, you can't trust people. Not you. Not anyone. ❜
❛ I haven't seen you sleep in like...I mean, it's been a fucking long time. Like, horror movie long. ❜
❛ You are losing it, honey. ❜
❛ Or maybe I know what's actually happening here. Crazy as it sounds. If all this crazy bullshit is right, then maybe I know how to stop it. ❜
❛ Well, she's... she's quite dead. Isn't she? ❜
❛ Life is insane. It is madness. The sooner you understand that, the better off you'll be. ❜
❛ The world might not be safe but listen to me, and listen carefully. I won't let anything happen to you. ❜
❛ All these terrible things and I thought, that's when people come together. But we've never been further apart. ❜
❛ I expect he's the kind of man you call if you, I don't know, accidentally kill a prostitute and need to dismember the corpse. ❜
❛ I like to think he killed someone. I like to think he's eaten human flesh. I like to think he took a piss on the tip-top of the world. ❜
❛ Tell me it's worth it. Tell me you know the risk and I'll be there with you. I'll back you up. Just tell me. ❜
❛ Shut your mouth, get your shit together. The fuck is wrong with you? ❜

❛ Why the fuck would you do that? I'm sorry. Why the fuck would you do that, sweetheart? ❜
❛ You smell like shit and you look like shit, and you're acting weird. ❜
❛ If anybody spoke to me like this, there would be repercussions! You do not get a free pass! ❜
❛ I'm afraid you're ringside for my reckoning, old friend. ❜
❛ I thought it was an act. I figured you just played the housewife so you could keep a roof over your head. Spread your legs or suck his dick twice a week and you're set. You never have to work a day in your life. And I thought, "Good for her, she found her angle," but...this is really you. Isn't it? ❜

❛ You're a monster, you know that? ❜
❛ I don't normally like to get my hands this dirty, but honey, you earned it. ❜
❛ You only ever wanted to be loved by him. You only ever wanted his approval. And it's still no fucking excuse. ❜
❛ I see you now. I look at you and I see... You. The poverty of you. ❜
❛ I don't know you. The man I know, the man that I love could never… But you're not him. Are you? ❜
❛ But I didn't know! Did I? I didn't know who I was dealing with. ❜
❛ That candle will last you an hour or so, then, I'm afraid, you're in the dark. ❜
❛ I find most people have a threshold qualifier. Something or someone they'd be unwilling to sacrifice, no matter how sweet the deal. ❜
❛ The real world is Darwinian. Survival, chaos, power. Leverage. ❜
❛ You feel it. In the air. We're sitting outside of time and space. ❜
❛ This is the moment luck meets opportunity. ❜

❛ I have no collateral. Collateral is leverage. And I won't be leveraged. ❜
❛ I say this with love. Let it go. Let it all go. ❜
❛ There is a lot about my job I love. But there are moments like these that bring me no joy. ❜
❛ So I say, we stand tall and proud. Bill's come due. Let's not hide here in the basement like we've got something to be ashamed of. No. Not us. You and me against the world. ❜

❛ Nobody gets away with anything. Not really. ❜
❛ Don't lecture me about family values. You're just as shit in that department as I am. ❜
❛ The gates are always open, but that doesn't mean you answer the phone. ❜
❛ That day was the last day we were all in the same place. Alive. ❜
❛ That is a brave and thoughtful thing to say. Especially if you want to get written out of the will. ❜
❛ I don't give a shit about the world. ❜
❛ The prenup's like a fucking phone book. ❜
❛ You let me move in, but you won't let me meet your family? ❜
❛ I'll freeze their fucking head and give it to my father on a platinum plate. ❜

SHUTTER ISLAND (2010) SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ You will be accorded all the help we can give, but during your stay, you will obey protocol. Is that understood? ❜
❛ You act like insanity is catching. ❜
❛ You are hereby required to surrender your firearms. ❜
❛ Then, personally, I'd have to say, screw their sense of calm. ❜
❛ It's as if she evaporated straight through the walls. ❜
❛ Seems like something you'd notice from time to time. ❜
❛ Sanity's not a choice. You can't just choose to get over it. ❜
❛ It's 11 miles to the nearest land and the water's freezing. ❜
❛ This is a mental institution, for the criminally insane. Usual isn't a big part of our day. ❜
❛ I always heard it was overrun with boozers and drunks. ❜
❛ You have outstanding defense mechanisms. ❜
❛ You misunderstand me. I said you are a man of violence. I'm not accusing you of being a violent man. That's quite different. ❜
❛ Since the schoolyard, you have never walked away from a physical conflict. No, no, not because you enjoy it, but because retreat isn't something you consider an option. ❜
❛ Just who the hell's in charge here, anyway, huh? ❜
❛ Jesus, are you ever sober anymore? ❜
❛ Are you real? ❜
❛ I'm just bones in a box. ❜
❛ Please. I need to hold on to you. Just a little bit longer, please. ❜
❛ You have to let me go. ❜
❛ I thought your investigation was finished. ❜
❛ I have this radical idea that if you treat a patient with respect, listen to him, try and understand, you just might reach him. ❜
❛ Do you know what she was afraid of? You. ❜
❛ I have my dark days. I suppose everybody does. ❜
❛ What I'm doing, it's not exactly by the book. ❜
❛ I don't give a damn about by-the-book. I just wanna know what the hell's going on. ❜
❛ Lot of places to hide a body here. ❜
❛ I've had enough of killing. That's not why I'm here. ❜
❛ A lot of people know about this place, but no one wants to talk. It's like they're scared or something. ❜
❛ How do you believe a crazy guy? ❜
❛ That's the beauty of it, isn't it? Crazy people, they're the perfect subjects. They talk, nobody listens. ❜
❛ Luck doesn't work that way. The world doesn't work that way. ❜
❛ What if while you were looking into them, they were looking into you? ❜
❛ Don't you know how lonely I've been? You're gone. You're dead. I cry every night. How am I supposed to survive? ❜
❛ I buried you. I buried an empty casket. ❜
❛ My [name]'s dead, so who the fuck are you? ❜
❛ You should have saved me. You should have saved all of us. ❜
❛ The clock's ticking, my friend. We're running out of time. ❜
❛ Why didn't you save me? ❜
❛ You need to find him. You need to find him and you kill him dead. ❜
❛ Listen, I don't wanna leave here, all right? I mean, why would anybody want to? ❜
❛ What the fuck's the matter with you guys? Catch them, not kill them! ❜
❛ Stop me, please, before I kill more. ❜
❛ You told me I'd be free of this place. You promised. You lied. ❜
❛ They say I'm theirs now. They say I'll never leave here. ❜
❛ I'll never get out now. I got out once. Not twice, never twice. ❜
❛ This is a game. All of this is for you. ❜
❛ You're a fucking rat in a maze. ❜
❛ I'm gonna find out what the fuck is happening on this island. ❜
❛ Would you mind taking your hand from behind your back, please? I wanna make sure that what you're holding won't hurt me. ❜
❛ That's the genius of it. People tell the world you're crazy, and all your protests to the contrary just confirm what they're saying. ❜
❛ Once you're declared insane, then anything you do is called part of that insanity. ❜
❛ You're smarter than you look. That's probably not a good thing. ❜
❛ The brain controls pain. The brain controls fear, empathy, sleep, hunger, anger. Everything. What if you could control it? ❜
❛ You can never take away all a man's memories. Never. ❜
❛ Seen any walking nightmares lately? ❜
❛ You can't stay here. I'm afraid if they come looking for you, they might find me. I'm sorry, but you have to go. ❜
❛ You're as violent as they come. I know this because I'm as violent as they come. ❜
❛ If the constraints of society were lifted, and I was all that stood between you and a meal, you would crack my skull with a rock and eat my meaty parts. Wouldn't you? ❜
❛ If I was to sink my teeth into your eye right now, would you be able to stop me before I blinded you? ❜
❛ You don't have a partner. You came here alone. ❜
❛ You know, I've built something valuable here, and valuable things have a way of being misunderstood in their own time. ❜
❛ I'm trying to do something that people, yourself included, don't understand. And I'm not going to give up without a fight. ❜
❛ Did you know that the word "trauma" comes from the Greek for "wound"? And what is the German word for "dream"? Traum. ❜
❛ Wounds can create monsters, and you...you are wounded. And wouldn't you agree, when you see a monster, you must stop it? ❜
❛ You go there and you'll die. ❜
❛ You blew up my car. I really loved that car. ❜
❛ Tremors are getting pretty bad. How are the hallucinations? ❜
❛ Get out of here. This place is gonna be the end of you. ❜
❛ Your delusions are more severe than I thought. ❜
❛ After everything I've seen here, you really think you're gonna convince me I'm crazy? ❜
❛ You've created a story in which you're not a murderer. You’re a hero. ❜
❛ I wish I could let you just live in your fantasy world. I really do. ❜
❛ I'm sorry. There wasn't any other way. ❜
❛ I trusted you. I risked everything to come in here after you. Everything! ❜
❛ I told you not to come in here. I told you this would be the end of you. ❜
❛ If you ever loved me, please stop talking. ❜
❛ I need to know you've accepted reality. ❜
❛ You tried to help me when no one else would. ❜
❛ Which would be worse, to live as a monster...or to die as a good man? ❜

THE TUDORS SEASON TWO SENTENCE STARTER (PART TWO)
s02e06 - s02e10
❛ Will you come to my bed tonight? ❜
❛ You are marrying into a great family. You will do it, whether you like it or not. Do you understand? ❜
❛ Something's going to happen to me. ❜
❛ Don't talk like this. Nothing is going to happen to you. ❜
❛ I'm unable to give a King a son; a son to be the living image of his father. ❜
❛ It's all right. Everything is going to be all right. Please don't cry. I love you. I'll look after you, I swear. ❜
❛ I like you and enjoy your company. But you have a reputation: you gamble and you whore. You sail close to the wind. God forbid it should ever blow you onto the rocks. ❜
❛ I have no doubt what so ever that Your Majesty's reign will always be remembered. ❜
❛ Are you amusing yourself at my expense? ❜
❛ I swear to you it will never happen again. I love you too much. I have no right to ask you to believe me. But it's true. ❜
❛ Is she one of your mistresses? How many do you have? What are their names? ❜
❛ Here's the truth: you must shut your eyes and endure like your betters have done before you. ❜
❛ How can you say that to me? Don't you know that I love you a thousand times more than [name] ever did! ❜
❛ Don't you know that I can drag you down as quickly as I raised you? ❜
❛ This is lucky you have your bed already, madam, because if you did not, I wouldn't give it to you again. ❜
❛ Listen to me. You're the Queen! For the love of God, act like it! ❜
❛ At least seem happy. Not a heap of misery! ❜
❛ It's been tasted. It's not poisonous. ❜
❛ I am not "your dear". I am nobody's "dear!" I am a woman and I demand equal respect for my ideas! ❜
❛ Why are you here? To see the degradation that we have been forced to? ❜
❛ You may kiss me. Then you will leave me alone. Forever. ❜
❛ Anyone can see that the King is not so much in love with her as he used to be. ❜
❛ All this time and you're still in love with her! ❜
❛ Let me look at you. There you are. I have not seen you for so long. An eternity. And here you are! ❜
❛If I had a son, it would bring about a golden world. ❜
❛You ought to be careful, or I will have you cropped at the neck. ❜
❛ I did not bring you up to have opinions or to express them or to quarrel with those closest to the Crown. ❜
❛ I am carrying the King's son. We are on the edge of a golden world! ❜
❛ I'm certainly aware there are some at court who would like to see the queen replaced. ❜
❛ I was married before and I must confess, I rather like the liberty of not being married again. ❜
❛ You have just come from another's bed. No. Do not deny it. ❜
❛ Sometimes, my love, I think that with you I'm already condemned to live in purgatory. ❜
❛ His heart is very weak. I don't know if he will come back to us. ❜
❛ In such a crisis, all could disintegrate. So the centre has to hold, and we must hold it. ❜
❛ You know, I cannot think whether it would be a bad thing or a good thing if he died. ❜
❛ As Lord Protector, you would ipso facto...be King, ❜
❛ Though you are still a young man...you're not as young as you used to be. ❜
❛ I'm so happy you're well. I was so alarmed, so afraid. ❜
❛ It was a mistake to think I could behave like I used to. In any case, those carefree days are gone. ❜
❛ In the future, I won't see you unless your other family members are present. I just had to see you now. ❜
❛ What is this? Just when my belly is doing its business...I find you wenching with Mistress [name]! ❜
❛ You've lost my boy. I cannot speak of it. The loss is too great. ❜
❛ I see now that God will not grant me any male children. ❜
❛ You have no one to blame but yourself for this. ❜
❛ Because the love I bear you is so great...it broke my heart to see you loved others. ❜
❛ It's true what they have whispered. I shut my ears to them, but now I know it to be true. ❜
❛ I will treasure this all my life. And if they ever open my grave, they will find it again, right next to my heart. ❜
❛ You have overreached yourself. Believe me, you have placed yourself in very great danger. ❜
❛ Do you assume I no longer possess the power to crush you? It would be an easy mistake to make. ❜
❛ The king cannot satisfy a woman. He has neither the skill, nor the virility. ❜
❛ We have come so far. No one is going to be allowed to destroy us. No one. Do you understand? ❜
❛ I think we should drink a toast to new beginnings and to new friendships and to a mutually beneficial future. ❜
❛ If your master wants to deal with me, he must first apologize for all his ill treatment of me in the past. ❜
❛ Princes are different from us and are not to be easily understood. ❜
❛ It's come to my notice that some acts of treason and other offenses have been committed by those we loved and trusted. By members of our own court. ❜
❛ I want to tell you in this slippery world, you represent for me all that is innocent, everything that is good, unsullied, uncorrupted. ❜
❛ If anything should happen to me...will you promise to care for my daughter? ❜
❛ Please. For the love you bear our child, have mercy. ❜
❛ After everything we've been to each other. After everything we were. Please. One more chance. ❜
❛ My enemies have poisoned the air with their horrid lies. ❜
❛ I pray God will help me, for there is no truth in these allegations. ❜
❛ Sometimes, in order to defeat evil, one must learn to consort with the devil. ❜
❛ When am I to die? ❜
❛ My lady, I am obliged to tell you that your marriage to the king has been declared null and void. ❜
❛ Tell them to ready the horses. But tell no one of our destination. ❜
❛ I hear you say I will not die before noon. I am sorry for it, for I thought to be dead by that time and past my pain. ❜
❛ Yes, I heard the executioner was very good. And in any case, I have only a little neck. ❜
❛ Have you ever killed someone? What did it feel like? ❜
❛ I would really like to see someone die. Can I go to the execution with you? ❜
❛ I want her dead. I want it over with. Finished. Go and do it or, by God's blood, you will join her. ❜
❛ I swear to you, from tomorrow, everything will be different. We will be young and merry as we used to be. ❜
❛ If you would take my advice for what it's worth find a rich man to marry who is too stupid to know anything about politics. Then perhaps - unless you die in childbirth, which is likely...or the plague, which is almost inevitable - then you will be happy. ❜
❛ Forgive me. It's just that I so much want a new beginning. A renaissance. Sometimes it is hard to be reminded of things. ❜
❛ Tell me, was it all worth it? ❜

THE TUDORS SEASON TWO SENTENCE STARTERS (PART ONE)
s02e01 - s02e05
❛ Although I have given sufficient proof of my loyalty to the king I must do nothing to provoke suspicion. ❜
❛ If you betray us...I will destroy your entire family. ❜
❛ You're incapable of fidelity. You always have been. ❜
❛ I shall never forget that we were once true friends. ❜
❛ Some people will blame her for everything! They will blame her if it rains or if the rains fail. They'll blame her for the wind that destroys our crops and the storms that sink our ships. It's all the fault of [name]. ❜
❛ Who gave you the poison? ❜
❛ You're a fool. And you will die for it. ❜
❛ You told me there was nothing intimate between you anymore. ❜
❛ You can't have three people in a marriage. Why can't you see that? ❜
❛ Let us stop this and mind our own business. Do you understand me? ❜
❛ She's a witch who deserves no other fate than to be dispatched to hell. ❜
❛ Here is a book of prophecy. This is the King, this is the Queen... and this is myself, with my head cut off. ❜
❛ If I could weep, I would weep tears of blood. ❜
❛ I have no intention of becoming your mistress. Nor anyone else's, for that matter. ❜
❛ My love, you have no reason to be suspicious. Nor will ever have. ❜
❛ We fought, and we failed. All I want now is to be left in peace. ❜
❛ I love you with my every breath. With every fibre of my being. I love you and I am yours. ❜
❛ I would never betray the secrets of a woman, especially a beautiful woman, who must naturally have a great many. ❜
❛ The fact is, the station you will be asked to occupy is not an easy one...especially to those not born to it. ❜
❛If I had not been born to be King, I would certainly not have wished that fate upon myself. ❜
❛ You dishonour the [name] family whom you serve. ❜
❛ Everything in life is ridiculous. And to suppose otherwise is human vanity. ❜
❛ We want to please the king. We want to make him beholden to us. ❜
❛ If I had to choose between extreme happiness and extreme sorrow, I would always choose sorrow. For when you are happy, you forget. You forget about spiritual things. you forget about God. But in your sorrow...he is always with you. ❜
❛ I want the people to love their new queen as I love her. ❜
❛ Store up your knowledge and your anger. Don't act impulsively, it's always a mistake. ❜
❛ There was an assassination attempt, either upon you or upon the queen. ❜
❛ I was sure his reign would be a golden age. I had such high hopes. ❜
❛ This is a new beginning. For me. For you. ❜
❛ I know of no Queen of England save my mother. And I will accept no other queen except my mother. ❜
❛ Please forgive me again, I am not very used to visitors anymore. They are mostly forbidden to me. ❜
❛ Your Majesty has given birth to a very healthy baby girl. ❜
❛ You and I are both young and by God's grace, boys will follow. ❜
❛ I am told that the lady is much dismayed at having given birth to a daughter and not the son she promised. ❜
❛ I think....I believe with all my heart that he still loves and cares for me. ❜
❛ Real life is raw and difficult. And you must face up to that fact. ❜
❛ If I were you, I'd be more careful about poking fun at those who have the power to hurt you. ❜
❛ How did you suppose no one would find out your secret? ❜
❛ Leave court. Go back to your family. See if they will have you. ❜
❛ I am here in kindness. I would welcome you back to court and reconcile you with your father...if you will only accept me as queen. ❜
❛ I recognize no queen but my mother. But if the king's mistress would intercede with the king on my behalf then I would be grateful. ❜
❛ I would rather lose my own son than to see any hurt come to you. ❜
❛ Do you not suppose they would conspire to plot against me? ❜
❛ You must be good to each other and to everyone else. Or if you cannot be good, be the least bad you can be. ❜
❛ He does nothing out of malice...but only the imperative of his conscience. ❜
❛ I know all about his conscience. He's been wearing it on his sleeve for years. ❜
❛You were always plain-speaking. It's one of the attributes I admire you for. ❜
❛ I do not willingly seek martyrdom. ❜
❛Say you are not angry with me. Please. If you left, and I thought so, I would feel-- I'd feel even more lonely than before. ❜
❛ I am not angry with you. But I am frightened. So very frightened. ❜
❛ I lost the baby. ❜
❛ From now on we must all be careful, you especially, not to lose the king's love. Or everything is lost. ❜
❛ You married him in secret and without asking our approval. He is such a nothing we could never have given our permission. ❜
❛ Since you acted brazenly and in spite of me, I shall cut off your allowance. ❜
❛ You and your fine, honest young man can rot in hell as far as I am concerned. ❜
❛ Indeed, I think myself fortunate to have found [name] and to be loved by him. ❜
❛ Do I have to ask your permission to fall in love? ❜
❛ Now we are royalty. Everything is different. ❜
❛ There really is no difference between us except that I shall die today and you tomorrow. ❜
❛ I am sorry for many things that are occurring in this kingdom. The good seem to suffer, and the wicked to prosper. ❜
❛ You're a free spirit. I love that. Everyone else constrains me. No one understands. ❜
❛ But the king can change his mind. He can do whatever he wills now. He has absolute power. You know that. ❜
❛ What he has given, he can take away. And what taken away, he can give back. ❜
❛ This is all I know of [name]. That she is my death...and I am hers. ❜
❛ Please. For the love I know you bear us...don't do this to us. ❜
❛ I love him. And I hate him. I hate in equal measure to my love. ❜
❛ Do you still have a passion for me? ❜
❛ Don't weep, my own darling. It's all right. Everything is going to be all right. ❜
