โ ย i'm angry at myself!ย โ
โ ย it's easy to do nothing, it's hard to forgive.ย โ
โ ย you miscalculated. i love them more than i fear you.ย โ
โ ย there is nothing wrong with letting the people who love you help you.ย โ
โ ย but now you're not letting yourself feel anything. i know sometimes it hurts more to hope and it hurts more to care. but you have to promise me that you won't stop caring.ย โ
โ ย my own mother thought i was a monster ... she was right of course, but it still hurt.ย โ
โ ย in the darkness, hope is something you give yourself.ย โ
โ ย never forget who you are, for surely the world won't.ย โ
โ ย why am i so bad at being good?ย โ
โ ย it is important to draw wisdom from different places. if you take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale.ย โ
โ ย sometimes the best way to solve your own problems is to help someone else.ย โ
โ ย and now you have come to the crossroads of destiny. it's time for you to choose.ย โ
โ ย you may not always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you keep moving, you will come to a better place.ย โ
โ ย protection and power are overrated. i think you are very wise to choose happiness and love.ย โ
โ ย get over here, [ name ]. being part of the group also means being part of group hugs.ย โ
โ ย stop! stop it right now! what's wrong with you? we don't have time for fun and games with the war going on.ย โ
โ ย i'm too young to die!ย โ
โ ย in my country, we exchange a pleasant 'hello' before asking questions.ย โ
โ ย i didn't know what or when, but i knew i'd know it when i knew it!ย โ
โ ย the past can be a great teacher.ย โ
โ ย when we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.ย โ
โ ย there really is no fathoming the depths of my hatred for this place.ย โ
โ ย failure is only the opportunity to try again, only more wisely this time.ย โ
โ ย i wanted to take out all of my anger on them. but i couldn't. i don't know if it's because i'm too weak ... or if it's because i'm strong enough not to.ย โ
โ ย look [ name ], you're going to fail a lot before things work out. even though you will fail over and over again, you have to try every time. you can't quit because you're afraid you might fail.ย โ
โ ย while it is always best to believe in oneself, a little help from others can be a great blessing.ย โ
โ ย you must never give in to despair. allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts.ย โ
โ ย if we knew each other back then, do you think we could have been friends too?ย โ
โ ย you know, [ name ], i don't care what anyone else says about you. you're pretty smart.ย โ
โ ย if i try, i fail. if i don't try, i'm never going to get it.ย โ
โ ย let your anger out, and then let it go. forgive him.ย โ
โ ย pride is not the opposite of shame, but rather its source. true humility is the only antidote to shame.ย โ
โ ย life happens wherever you are, whether you make it or not.ย โ
โ ย the greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation. things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same.ย โ
โ ย you stand alone. that has always been your greatest weakness.ย โ
โ ย bad skin? normal teenagers worry about bad skin, i don't have that luxury.ย โ
โ ย in my dream, we were right in the middle of the invasion, and you stopped to use the bathroom. we die because of your tiny bladder.ย โ
โ ย you need to find someone who waits and listens before striking.ย โ
โ ย everyone has to be treated like they're worth giving a chance.ย โ
โ ย i don't need luck, though. i don't want it. i've always had to struggle and fight, and that's made me strong. it's made me who i am.ย โ

tw: death, death of a minor, horror, eating, mild language.
gone fishing.
the lonesome foghorn blows.
put [ name ] on the horn.
she's dead. wrapped in plastic.
you stay right there. i'm on my way.
[ name ], not a word about this to anyone until you hear from me.
we'd better take some pictures.
is this gonna happen every damn time?
[ name ], now means now.
we're gonna be able to get it for a song. one verse, no chorus.
honey, what's wrong? what's this all about?
why didn't she leave me a note?
what? who? what did you say?
i couldn't get my car started.
i can drop you by your place on the way if you want.
i'll see you in my dreams.
i think she knows about us.
come on, cowboy, light your fire.
i'll call you later.

hey, man, something's up.
thank you for your time.
something troubling you, [ name ]? you wanna tell us about it?
you think i killed her?
[ name ], we're gonna talk about this later.
i can tell from the sounds that it isn't her.
do you know where the key to this is?
don't walk away from me like that.
what's your name?
she was the one.
buy you a coffee?
i've never seen so many trees in my life.
as w.c. fields would say, "i'd rather be here than philadelphia."
if you could get paid that kind of money for being wrong 60 percent of the time, it'd beat working.
damn good food.
that's what i need. a clean place, reasonably priced.
i've got to find out what kind of trees these are.
have any trouble finding the place?
whole town's really badly shaken up.
there's a few things we gotta get straight right off the bat.
well, like i said, we're glad to have you here.
well, the autopsy hasn't been done yet.
Is there any connection to the dead girl?
what exactly are you saying?
terrible, terrible tragedy.
you're on your way to the morgue now, do you mind if i join you?

that's something to get started on.
you ever been surprised before?
you two had a big fight last week, didn't you?
if i had a fight with her, if i sang songs with her, if i went skipping rope with her, what difference does it make?

did they scarf that whole damn smorgasbord?
i'll be at home this evening, if you need a sympathetic ear.

i think i saw a cottontail rabbit.
who's the babe?
is this thing on?
now, there is a chance that the person who committed these crimes is someone from this town, possibly even someone you know.
they're not releasing many details, wisely, i suppose.
i'm going out the window in a few minutes and i need you to cover for me.
the best-laid plans of mice and men.
what do you mean? she snuck out?
i don't know where she's gone.
don't do it for me, do it for yourself.
you know why i'm whittling?
because that's what you do in a town where a yellow light still means slow down, not speed up.
why don't you whistle for a little backup?
what are you sneaking around for?
i suppose you want me to follow them at a discreet distance.
do you think they spotted us?
give me a donut.
man, smell those trees.

it's not your fault, [ name ].
i don't have an alibi.
what goes around comes around.
can you recommend to me a good inexpensive hotel or motel?
tomorrow comes early.
it must have happened about this time 24 hours ago.

โYouโre getting ahead of yourself as usual, [Name].โ
โDonโt worry, weโre not going far.โ
โYes, [Name], as I have been telling you for the last fifteen minutes, we are finally here.โ
โI canโt tell you how happy I am to see you.โ
โYouโre going to have to tell her sooner or later.โ
โYouโre not staying, are you?โ
โWhy are you making me wait?โ
โWeโre stuck with each other.โ
โI bet we can find a place to rustle up something to eat.โ
โ[Name], you are looking radiant as usual.โ
โDonโt bring my mother into this!โ
โI have to go home now.โ
โIโm so happy to be here!โ
โWhat is wrong with me?โ
โShouldnโt you be in bed by now?โ
โUh, I was just looking for the bathroom and I got lost.โ
โIโve been looking everywhere for you.โ
โAll right, look, I kinda promised her she could stay.โ
โThereโs something special about her, I know it.โ
โWish me luckโnot that Iโll need it!โ
โOh, youโre still here?โ
โOh, youโre still a jerk?โ
โIโm very confused right now.โ
โWhatโs it take to impress this guy?โ
โYโknow what, itโs getting late; I think Iโm gonna turn in.โ
โHonestly, [Name], I am at my witโs end with that girl.โ
โI donโt know how to get through to her.โ
โThe best thing you can do right now is give [Name] some space.โ
โWow, thanks for the vote of confidence.โ
โHey, I didnโt agree to this.โ
โYou can thank me later.โ
โIโm kind of in the middle of something.โ
โIโm really sorry about everything I said.โ
โDoes he drive you crazy, like, in a bad way, or does he drive you crazy, like you like him?โ
โ[Name] has a knack for getting into stupid situations.โ
โI canโt believe [Name] got himself into this mess.โ
โAre you some kind of criminal?โ
โI think thereโs been a big misunderstanding.โ
โAll Iโm trying to do is help.โ
โOh no, Iโm so sorryโI didnโt see you!โ
โIs he bothering you because I could have a word with him.โ
โThe important thing is to talk about our fears, because, if we donโt, they can throw us out of balance.โ
โIโm always here for you if you want to talk.โ
โI canโt believe this is all for me.โ
โI feel so safe with you.โ
โDonโt try to stop me and donโt follow me.โ
โIโve never felt like this before and I donโt know what to do.โ
โAdmitting your fears is the first, and most difficult, step in overcoming them.โ
โJust you and me, two alone people. Together. Alone.โ
โI dunno if sheโs really girlfriend material.โ
โYouโve been spending a lot of time together lately.โ
โUh, how long were you standing there?โ
โSo, I was thinking we should spend some time together.โ
โLook, I really like you and I think we were meant for each other.โ
โIโm really sorry, but I just donโt feel the same way about you.โ
โForget I ever said anything.โ
โI was thinking you and me, we could go get some dinner togetherโsort of a date situation.โ
โYou really feel that way about me?โ
โYโknow what, I could use some fun.โ
โYou wanna go toe-to-toe with me, Pretty Boy?โ
โYou are one of a kind, [Name].โ
โAdmit it; you like me.โ
โWhen youโre with her, youโre thinking about me, arenโt you?โ
โYouโve already made it clear how you feel about me.โ
โAs much as you drive me crazy, I also think youโre pretty amazing.โ
โAre we gonna be alright?โ
โSoโฆ I know things are confusing right now, but I hope we can still be friends.โ
โHavenโt you hurt me enough, woman?โ
โIโm sorry I hurt your feelings.โ
โYou two might get along if only you would give her a chance.โ
โIโm so glad youโre okay.โ
โWe had some good memories here, didnโt we?โ
โItโs easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.โ
โIf you donโt drop this, consider our friendship over.โ
โNo, you canโt give up like this.โ
โLooks like I have some competition.โ
โOh, uhโฆ No, I wasnโt completely aware of that.โ
โYou need me, but I donโt need you.โ
โThere are a lot of things you donโt know about me.โ
โCrazy talk is coming out of your mouth right now.โ
โI am shocked you would accuse me of such an evil act.โ
โIโm sorry you were scared, but everything is going to be fine now, I promise.โ
โYou have feelings for her, donโt you?โ
โYouโre really gonna make me say it?โ
โCan we deal with our relationship problems later?โ
โThis is not what I signed on for!โ
โIโve dreamed of this day for so long.โ
โWhatever happens to me, donโt turn back!โ
โI canโt imagine my life without you in it.โ
โYouโre the most loyal, brave, and selfless person Iโve ever known.โ
โI should probably try to get some sleep.โ
โIโm sorry things got so messed up between us.โ
โI donโt suppose youโre here to rescue me.โ
โI am truly sorry for all that I did to you.โ
โEverything will be alrightโwe just have to get out of here!โ
โI just want you to know Iโm here for you.โ
โYou donโt need to do me any favors.โ
โI just want to be left alone.โ
โWhen we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.โ
โI am so proud of you, [Name].โ

โ so how long you been a cook? โ

โ you can spend all the time in the world in here, but if you don't spend enough time out there... you know? โ
โ speaking of dead brothers, do you wanna go to a party? โ
โ it looks so pretty on you. you should keep it. โ
โ what's going on with you? i know there's something. just tell me. โ

โ i could be good at things that you don't really wanna do. and you're obviously really great at a whole bunch of stuff that I don't know how to do, you know? โ
โ i'm wearing a suit 'cause it makes me feel better about myself. โ

โ i guess i'm scared that i don't have what it takes to not fuck this up. โ

โ i don't know how to say i'm sorry. โ
โ i need you to say it's okay. โ
โ you are being so fucking weird, man. โ
โ i'm stuck in a goddamn refrigerator on the opening night of my fucking restaurant. โ
โ i failed you guys and it's not gonna happen again. โ
โ maybe i'm just not built for this. โ
โ because no amount of good is worth how terrible this feels. โ
โ i'm really sorry you feel that way. โ

THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER SENTENCE STARTERS
โ I'm sorry for your loss, your...your losses, rather. โ
โ Nobody gets away with anything. Not really. โ
โ Don't lecture me about family values. You're just as shit in that department as I am. โ
โ That day was the last day we were all in the same place. Alive. โ
โ 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. โ
โ And most people go their whole, wasted, stupid lives without one minute of true resolution. Not me though. โ
โ You know what a resolution is? It's a deal you make with the future. โ
โ 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. โ
โ You're supposed to be shadowing me. Shadows don't fucking talk. โ
โ 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. โ
โ 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. โ
โ Nearly realized is the sweetest. It's better, I promise, in the moment just before than in the moment after. โ
โ You are consequence. And tonight, you are consequential. โ
โ You are a pretty, pretty little thing. โ
โ You wonder why people hate us. This is why. โ
โ Everybody knows that edible arrangements are what you send to people you hate. โ
โ If you start thinking this is reality, you'll just slip into the abyss. โ
โ We can talk about it after because I've had a shit day and I really just wanna starfish and forget the world. โ
โ Don't talk to me until I've come at least twice. โ
โ I love how deliciously, pointlessly mean you lot can be. โ
โ 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. โ
โ 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. โ
โ You can't enhance this image? You see it all the time on TV. They hit a button, it enhances it. โ
โ I don't even own anything funeral black. โ
โ Satin is silk for poor people, no one should wear it to a funeral, unless they died in it. โ
โ Nobody knows they're the fall guy until they're falling.โ
โ Women are the natural leaders of the species. Ancient Egypt had it right. โ
โ Okay, just because the door's open doesn't necessarily guarantee you a seat at the table. โ
โ You're not who I thought you were. โ
โ I really didn't want to think it, but...you're all fucking monsters. โ
โ Watching you shit on your principles would have been worth every fucking penny. โ
โ The mind of guilt is full of scorpions. And I wouldn't wish their sting on anyone. โ
โ Don't have to be smart to be dangerous. I'm not scared of rattlesnakes 'cause they're so smart. โ
โ You're so out of touch with your human side...you can't even listen to anything outside your own head. โ
โ I haven't seen you sleep in like...I mean, it's been a fucking long time. Like, horror movie long. โ
โ Life is insane. It is madness. The sooner you understand that, the better off you'll be. โ
โ The world might not be safe but listen to me, and listen carefully. I won't let anything happen to you. โ
โ All these terrible things and I thought, that's when people come together. But we've never been further apart. โ
โ 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. โ
โ Shut your mouth, get your shit together. The fuck is wrong with you? โ
โ 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. โ
โ It just makes you think, you know, life is so fucking short. โ
โ 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. โ
โ 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? โ
โ Words got us into this, words can get us out. โ
โ You're a collection of impeccable, elaborate masks in orbit of a stunted heart. โ
โ There are certain things one shouldn't have to face in life. Time enough for self-reflection after. โ
โ I don't normally like to get my hands this dirty, but honey, you earned it. โ
โ I see you now. I look at you and I see... You. The poverty of you. โ
โ The real world is Darwinian. Survival, chaos, power. Leverage. โ
โ You feel it. In the air. We're sitting outside of time and space. โ
โ This is the moment luck meets opportunity. โ
โ 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. โ
โ We're a... virus, I think. People, I mean. โ
โ But everyone loves something. And in that love there's collateral. โ
โ I say this with love. Let it go. Let it all go. โ
โ 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. โ
โ 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? โ
โ I knew I would climb to the top of the tower on a pile of corpses. โ
โ 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. โ

โ i thought about lying for some reason, but the reason didnโt come. โ
โ iโm letting you go, so go. โ
โ if i feed you, then every bum you talk to about it is gonna show up here looking for a free lunch. โ
โ you already know iโm bad at lying. โ
โ everything tastes good when youโre starving. โ
โ i know i donโt seem like the type. โ
โ would you stop!? โ
โ paying attention to things, itโs how we show love. โ
โ there are no friends to be had. โ
โ iโve actually been talking to a nice woman on the radio. โ
โ arenโt i the lucky one? โ
โ i got something to show you. โ
โ i like you older. older means weโre still here. โ
โ i was never afraid before you showed up. โ
โ took most of the night. iโm exhausted. โ
โ iโve had more good days with you than with anyone else. โ
โ i should be furious. โ
โ you hear anything, you see anything, yell. โ
โ so theyโre dead? โ
โ i used to hate the world, and i was happy when everyone died. but i was wrong, because there was one person worth saving. โ
โ we have a job to do, and god help any motherfuckers who stand in our way. โ
โ we can just keep our histories to ourselves. โ
โ you do what i say when i say it. โ
โ they have hot water! iโm taking a shower, and then youโre showering, because seriously - pffff. โ
โ well donโt you look pretty. โ
โ itโs like a spaceship. โ
โ gas breaks down over time, this stuffโs almost water. โ
โ it doesnโt matter how much you push the envelope, itโll still be stationary. โ
โ what did the mermaid wear to her math class? an algae bra. โ
โ i stayed up all night wondering where the sun went, and then it dawned on me. โ
โ this make you all nostalgic? โ
โ hold your horses, i wanna see what all the fuss is about. โ
โ why are all these pages stuck together? โ
โ can we start a fire? iโm freezing. โ
โ no oneโs gonna find us. โ
โ if you donโt think thereโs hope for the world, why bother going on? โ
โ iโm not even tired. โ
โ iโm all turned around. โ
โ this is my second day in a fucking car, man! โ
โ youโre not hurt? โ
โ you donโt come out until i say, okay? โ
โ my mom isnโt far, if you could get me to her. โ

โ have i satisfied the necessary conditions for you to talk? โ
โ you think i wonโt do it? โ
โ i didnโt hear that guy coming. โ
โ youโre just a kid. โ
โ i know what itโs like, the first time that you hurt someone like that. โ
โ iโm not good at this. โ
โ you shouldnโt have had to, and iโm sorry. โ
โ it wasnโt my first time. โ
โ you put it in your pack, youโll shoot your damn ass off. โ
โ weโll get through this. โ
โ letโs just handle what we have to handle. we can deal with this after. โ
โ where would you be without me, huh? โ
โ how did you know it was an ambush? โ
โ iโve been on both sides. โ
โ we did what we needed to survive. โ
โ did you kill innocent people? โ
โ i donโt want someone sneaking up on us while weโre sleeping. โ
โ i donโt wanna talk about it. โ
โ so it gets easier when you get older? โ
โ did you know diarrhoea is hereditary? yeah, it runs in your jeans. โ
โ you laughed, motherfucker! โ
โ look at me, not at that. โ ย
โ i used to be so scared of these people. โ ย
โ did it make you feel safe? โ ย
โ how does it make you feel now? โ ย
โ i swear, iโve told you everything i know. โ ย
โ he wonโt be talking. โ ย
โ why go to the trouble? you can kill yourself right here. โ
โ do i look scared? โ ย
โ iโve been watching them, i know their patterns. โ ย
โ we donโt wanna hurt you, we wanna help you. โ ย
โ if i lower my gun, we didnโt hurt you, so you donโt hurt us, right? โ
โ thatโs a weird fucking tone, man. โ ย
โ thatโs just the way he sounds, he has an asshole voice. โ
โ iโm gonna trust you. โ ย
โ you know what happens when you do that to people? the moment they get a chance, they do it right back to you. โ
โ never killed anyone. โ ย
โ pointing an unloaded gun at you was the closest iโve ever come to being violent. โ
โ thatโs my dicey-as-fuck plan. โ ย
โ your dadโs kind of a pessimist. โ ย
โ heโs not my dad. โ ย
โ iโm not her dad. โ ย

โ i am the bad guy because i did a bad guy thing. โ ย
โ weโre not doing so good. โ ย

โ he would be horrified by the things iโve done. โ ย
โ this is what happens when you fuck with fate. โ ย
โ are you ever scared? โ ย
โ iโm scared all the time. โ ย
โ iโm scared of ending up alone. โ ย
โ if you turn into a monster, is it still you inside? โ ย
โ stay awake with me. โ ย

โ ย so, i sort of started a civil war ...ย โ
โ ย i am so sorry for turning my back on you as my mentor.ย โ
โ ย i needed to understand what real suffering was, so i could become more compassionate to others.ย โ
โ ย what's the big idea with making me train this early in the morning? the morning is evil.ย โ
โ ย oh, i'm sorry. did i put you in a difficult position by fighting the giant force of pure evil that was going to destroy the whole world? maybe your administration could have handled that.ย โ
โ ย fighting is something the old me would do. that always made things worse.ย โ
โ ย let's go on a vacation, just the two of us. anywhere you want.ย โ
โ ย it's all right. people usually assume that i'm daddy's helpless little girl, but i can handle myself.ย โ
โ ย the world is in trouble ... i have to go help.ย โ
โ ย i'm impressed. no one has ever gotten the better of me like that.ย โ
โ ย i assure you, i have a plan. and i'm saving you for last; then you'll get your duel, and i will destroy you.ย โ
โ ย when we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.ย โ
โ ย i did what i had to do to survive and protect my little brother.ย โ
โ ย and ... what am i going to find if ... i get through this?ย โ
โ ย we should always learn from those who came before us, but we must also forge our own path.ย โ
โ ย why don't you come and find out?ย โ
โ ย if you look for the light, you can often find it. but if you look for the dark, that is all you will ever see.ย โ
โ ย you need to make decisions based on what you want. don't make the same mistakes i did.ย โ
โ ย i don't know what i'm supposed to be doing half the time.ย โ
โ ย right, friends. no, no, i didn't mean to imply.ย โ
โ ย i do like the idea of putting you on a train and sending you far, far away.ย โ
โ ย you need me, but i don't need you.ย โ
โ ย you swore your loyalty to me and i gave you a chance at greatness. this is how you repay me?ย โ
โ ย i told you dating a teammate would be a bad idea.ย โ
โ ย stick around five minutes and you'll find out who's bluffing.ย โ
โ ย wait! we can't fight them all. we need to be smart about this.ย โ
โ ย you know, it's okay to be scared. the important thing is to talk about our fears, because if we don't, they throw us out of balance. i'm always here for you, if you want to talk.ย โ
โ ย what i'm trying to say is, as much as you drive me crazy ... i also think you're pretty amazing.ย โ
โ ย see, that's what i admire about you, [ name ]: your willingness to go to extremes in order to get what you want. it is a quality we both share.ย โ
โ ย ending a relationship is kind of like pulling off a bloodsucking leech. you just gotta rip it off and get it over with. you'll feel a lot better afterwards. trust me.ย โ
โ ย don't tell me you are still mad about everything that happened?! i did some good things, too!ย โ
โ ย all right, hold on. will you quit ignoring me and tell me what's going on?ย โ
โ ย how about, for now, i just promise not to show up at your house and attack you again?ย โ
โ ย what would you do, if you were in charge? help me be more like you.ย โ
โ ย i wish you were putting up more of a fight, but it was still fun.ย โ
โ ย please, just let me say one thing, then i'll never contact you again.ย โ
โ ย i'm not sure i'll ever be able to forgive you. but that doesn't mean i shouldn't try.ย โ
โ ย i came here to look you in the eye and tell you that you have no power over me. i will no longer be scared of you.ย โ
โ ย but if you had any other options, you wouldn't be here now, would you? we may have been enemies once, but for now, our interests align.ย โ
โ ย you don't have to apologize for anything. i'm just so happy you're here now.ย โ

best of patterson from blindspotย ( 2015 - 2020 ) sentence starters !
change pronouns / tense / etc as needed !
oh, opposite, opposite.
that is very not good.
in science, knowing what doesnโt work is just as important as knowing what does.
basically, the thing that iโm working on isnโt doing the thing itโs supposed to be doing when iโm doing the thing that iโm doing to it?
does that make any sense?
sorry i blew up your house.
morse code? more like horse code.
to catch a con, you gotta hatch a con.
okay, letโs get back to committing numerous felonies.
i remember my first date, took him forever to stop crying.
each programmer has a distinctive coding style.
itโs not exactly comic con for me either!
two jerks for the price of one.
iโm not in the matrix.
we just discovered a tomb under a forgotten temple.
i did the math.
in my head where math is done.
i called you a decent hacker.
you are the best hacker i know.
and a pretty awesome person too.
and you tap its nose to give it affection.
so thatโs what this is about?
you wanna save face more than you wanna save these people?
this is on you, thatโs the job!
so i need you to trust me.
sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith.
my shower ran late.
i... slept over.
my alarm slept over.
i slept in. all alone.
sheโs good, but sheโs no me.
you left me in a room with a hundred boxes of garbage and a lunatic ranting about a brain ray.
so letโs just lower our expectations just a little bit, okay?
at least your ex didnโt try to kill you and then hand you over to a madwoman to be tortured.
iโve also been thinking a lot about getting a cat.
actually, i am a gnome cleric.
donโt touch my keyboard!
damn, iโm good.
my guess is we both donโt get our way.
who does science in six inch heels?
stop yelling! itโs not helping me code.
we could use some of this to kill someone.
chocolate is universally adored.
oh, yeah, thatโs gin.
how is that even a filing system?
i need you to type the periodic table, okay?
i find it centers me.
this isnโt the first dryer sheet!

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

โ you trust her? โ ย
โ your watch is broken. โ ย
โ you mumble in your sleep. โ ย

โ so theyโre still out there... โ ย
โ i have spent my life studying these things. โ ย

โ thereโs not gonna be anything bad in here? โ
โ better them than us. โ ย
โ iโm gonna talk to you like youโre an adult. โ ย
โ fuck you, man, i didnโt ask for this. โ ย

โ i donโt know how i was supposed to know that. โ
โ youโre a weird kid. โ ย
โ you try climbing ten fucking floors with our knees, see how you feel. โ
โ whereโd you learn to do that? โ ย
โ no more questions about me. โ ย
โ was it hard? like, knowing they were people once. โ
โ you step on a patch of cordyceps in one place, and you can wake a dozen infected from somewhere else. now they know where you are, now they come. โ
โ youโre not immune from being ripped apart. โ
โ from this point forward, we are silent. โ ย
โ well, i didnโt shit my pants, so... โ ย
โ how about you just take the good news? โ ย
โ is it everything you hoped for? โ ย
โ our luck had to run out sooner or later. โ ย
โ i never ask you for anything. โ ย
โ save who you can save. โ ย
โ iโm not going with you! โ

star trek: deep space nine, s1e01ย โ ย sentence starters
dialogue taken from s1e01, โEmissary,โ of the 1990โฒs science fiction television series by Michael Piller and Rick Berman. lightly edited for clarity.
โ itโs gonna be okay... iโll get you out of there. โ
โ have we met before? โ
' sounds like theyโre not ready. โ
โ youโre throwing it all away! โ
' well then, donโt ask for my opinion next time! โ
โ this is where the adventure is. this is where heroes are made. โ
โ one should never look into the eyes of their own gods. โ
โ this is going to take some getting used to. โ
โ iโve never figured out how to live without her. โ
โ you have a strange eye for beauty. โ
โ itโs really quite simple - youโre not going to leave. โ
โ it was only the beginning of your journey. โ
โ iโm not a thief. โ
โ iโve made a career of knowing when to leave. โ
โ all my life, iโve been forced to pass myself off as one of you. โ
โ you may want to wait until we get safely back before you put your name in the history books. โ
โ there is a risk, but then again, you are a gambler. โ
โ i guess we got his attention. โ
โ thank you for your concern. but i think weโll see for ourselves. โ
โ why would you want me to stay? โ
โ oh, i love a woman in uniform. โ
โ we have to assume they know everything we know. โ
โ we are constantly searching, not just for answers to our questions, but for new questions. โ
โ it is quite simply, the journey you have always been destined to take. โ
โ i am not your enemy. allow me to prove it. โ
โ what do you mean? you canโt do this. โ
โ what the hell is happening out there? โ
โ thereโs nothing we can do. we have to leave. โ
โ another time, perhaps. โ
โ you do know how to make a perfect onion soup. โ
โ you donโt want to ask me that. โ
โ i cannot give you what you deny yourself. โ
โ i have the bad habit of telling the truth, even when people donโt want to hear it. โ
โ your mother is going to adore me. โ
โ most people, in my experience, wouldnโt know reason if it got up and shook their hand. โ
โ if you want a war, iโll give you one. โ
