star wars: kotor ii   ∕   sentence starters ( squadmates, vol. i ) dialogue taken from various squadmates from the 2004 rpg star wars: knights of the old republic ii: the sith lords. lightly edited for clarity.
claws out today, aren't they?
mostly, i was angry. angry about what i had done, about why i had done it.
all i wanted to do was send a message, but i couldn't even do that right.
it's hard to face up to yourself, sometimes.
hey, just kidding. i'm happy to have you around.
if you were me, you'd probably want to joke about it, too.
the loss of control blinded me, turned me into a weapon.
it's what happens after the wars are over that you don't hear much about.
you know, i'm glad i found you again.
i've killed people before. but not if i don't have to.
i thought i could make a difference, but it was taken away from me.
yeah, well, they're dead. that's how the story ends.
it's not the sort of thing that you just stop being.
i don't want to keep running, and looking, and never feel like i'm finding what i'm looking for.
my anger is nothing compared to the blood on my hands.
you have to let the place grow on you... like a fungus.
maybe that's just the shield i need to stay sane.
i've thought about that moment. a lot. and wondered if i would do things differently if i had another chance.
maybe, just maybe, by finding them, i can start putting things back together.
that kind of thing stays with you - i haven't forgotten it.
i doubt you're going to show me anything i don't already know.
you might not be looking, but maybe it'll happen along the way.
i'd rather die than be caught by you again.
run away? you're the one who couldn't handle me.
he's a hunter, a natural predator.
it's better you hear it from me than some stranger.
whatever, don't worry about it. it's just a sore subject with me.
no, you're not leaving until we've talked about this.
i didn't kill him once. biggest mistake ever.
well, for one thing, you're going to stay here.
i'm not going to step down from a challenge like that.
everything's... everything's too quiet.
i thought i'd seen a lot, but you look like you're a hundred inside.
why did you decide to fight?
that's what i want. i'm sure of it, more than anything.
you continue to amaze me.
i don't even know why i'm telling you this.
i don't think you get it. they're not going to come after you.
i still i feel like i need to do something, to make up for it.
maybe i would have been someone different… someone weaker.
i want the power to let go... and i want the power to heal the echo when it's gone.
he wants to break them, ruin them, and when they can't suffer anymore, he wants them dead.
it's only fair. i owe you more than one.
apathy is death.
there was enough senseless death back then to last a lifetime.
do you really want to hear this?
you have to get away from her. she'll destroy you.
how you could ever possibly hope to understand is beyond me.
you're not getting anything else out of me.
just ignore him and let's get to work.
if you don't want to talk about it, i won't press you.
