PROMPTS FROM BEAUTY AND THE BEAST *  assorted dialogue from the 1991 film, adjust as necessary

you came back.

of course i came back. i couldn't let them... oh, this is all my fault.

if only i had gotten here sooner.

maybe it's better this way.

don't talk like that. you'll be all right. we're together now. everything's going to be fine, you'll see.

at least i got to see you... one last time.

no! no! please, please don't leave me! i love you.

i want to do something for her, but what?

there's the usual things. flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep...

it has to be something very special. something that sparks her interest.

wait a minute!

isn't this amazing?

i'm afraid i've been thinking.

she's never looked at me that way before.

how can you read this? there's no pictures!

some people use their imagination.

i want adventure in the great wide somewhere.

i want so much more than they've got planned.

that hurts!

if you hold still, it wouldn't hurt as much.

if you hadn't run away, this wouldn't have happened.

if you hadn't frightened me, i wouldn't have run away.

you should learn to control your temper.

hold still. this might sting a little.

by the way, thank you for saving my life.

how could you do that?

i had to.

now we invite you to relax.

this is the day your dreams come true.

what do you know about my dreams?

imagine that.

i'm speechless. i really don't know what to say.

say you'll marry me.

i just don't deserve you.

if it's not baroque, don't fix it.

i thought i told you to come down to dinner.

please, attempt to be a gentleman.

will you come down for dinner?

you can't stay in there forever!

that didn't go very well at all, did it?

it's no use. she's so beautiful, and i'm... well, look at me!

try to act like a gentleman.

if i didn't know better, i'd think you had feelings for this monster.

he's no monster, [name], you are!

who said anything about the castle being enchanted?

who are you? what are you doing here?

you are not welcome here!

what are you staring at?

shower her with compliments!

i've been burnt by you before.

close that at once!

i was trying to be hospitable.

there may be something there that wasn't there before.

i'll tell you when you're older.

may i have my book, please?

don't talk about my father that way!

i'll show you to your room.

you might want to offer her a more comfortable room.

why did you come here?

i warned you never to come here!

do you realize what you could've done?

is anyone here?

your hands are like ice. we have to get you out of here.

i want you to leave this place.

who's done this to you?

no time to explain. you must go! now!

you must promise to stay here forever.

come on out and fight!

were you in love with her? did you honestly think she'd want you, when she had someone like me?

why don't you read it to me?

the castle is under attack!

we must do something!

you always say that.

did you have a good time in town today?

it's just that i'm not sure i'd fit in here. there's no one i can really talk to.

you did it! you really did it!

the castle is your home now, so you can go anywhere you'd like.

there's a stranger here.

will no one help me?

you will join me for dinner. that's not a request!

i know he looks vicious, but he's really kind and gentle. he's my friend.

[adonaldson]

The thing you learn when you've been operating at my level for as long as I have ...

SIGNATURE SMIRK RETURNS. “ it works, doesn't it? some of us actually have talent, art. you might think it's shitty, but it hasn't failed me yet. i'll bank on it for as long as i can, trust me. are you on any dating websites? anyone around school you're interested in? i'm sure the stanford girls are something else. ”

[adonaldson]

Art kept his mouth shut on if it had failed Patrick. But Art also had a different view of failure than his best friend. One that he wasn't about to put on to Patrick. Not until he played him in a professional sense at least. Art was getting good experience in college, and was making a name for himself in the NCAA, even if he was just a freshman. "I am focusing on school and tennis, I don't have time."

why would you do this to me

how's your mom?

i don't think there's anything funny about good journalism.

why does he trust everyone?

i've sacrificed my own humanity to help get rid of it.

your obsession with me is getting a little creepy.

it's not too late for either of you.

this is what you do every time you're faced with conflict.

i'm sorry, friend.

any chance they're mistaken?

i'm not gonna say that. you know i'm not gonna say that.

i'll be there as soon as i can, okay?

aw, you look like shit.

where's the button?

he's gonna regret harming me for the rest of his life.

i can handle any question that comes my way.

i will admit that, i am scared.

they sent me here to kill people.

come on. my actions? i stopped a war.

rule without mercy.

hey, handsome.

people were going to die!

what are we gonna do?

you saved us so many times. now it's our turn.

this girl is obsessed with you?

i thought i told you to keep an eye on him.

we're so different.

if you keep interviewing yourself, eventually people are gonna figure it out.

i shouldn't have brought it up.

hey, man. i'm sorry. i didn't mean to bum you out.

ethically, these interviews are hugely problematic.

we need to find him.

hey! hey, no, no. stop!

i tried to stop him.

no need to thank us, as we will not appreciate it.

guards! guards! he's doing something!

i'm just in the middle of a big news day here.

we have to try. come on.

what did you mean when you said that you knew this would never work?

it's a big story. put it above the fold.

three months ago, we had our first date.

so we're gonna lock up all meta humans now?

we'll never make it in time.

why is nobody clapping?

it's been a minute.

we feed the canine, but he is unruly.

the alien is on its way back.

can't he hold his breath for over an hour?

i can tell you don't really think so.

i probably should have told you that a long time ago.

don't worry. tall, dark, and martian isn't my type.

what are you doing here?

how dare he throw a pencil at me?

how am i being dishonest?

i'm goddamn mr. terrific.

there's other parts of you that people would find very attractive.

that's the problem. i need to heal.

i've been trying to figure out a way to get it out of here alive.

yes, but you know that's very silly.

we have what we need. return to base.

i knew this would never work.

we have no clue what his actual goal was here.

i cherish it more than anything.

oh, my god! what is that?

well, what's particularly bad for business is dying.

should we really still be standing here?

i don't need your help.

way to bring it home!

this ain't playtime! quit messin' around!

i didn't do anything.

i think it's pretty obvious the goal was kicking superman's ass.

what did you mean by that?

what did you say?

take me home.

i think i'm doing a good job.

i won't be able to sustain the impact at this speed.

without solid proof of malicious intent, it's just not worth the risk.

your pride won't be making our choices today.

it would be difficult to find him.

even if he was dead, those trackers would still be there.

i just do what i can not to be splashed.

i'm pretty sure you wouldn't like that.

that is where you've always been wrong about me.

okay, i'd like to change the subject, if i could.

man, you are so weird.

don't talk to me.

i have no clue what you're talking about.

i put your parents' message on to soothe you.

you are only 83% restored to health. you must rest.

you seem upset.

your choices, your actions: that's what makes you who you are.

they won't fool everyone forever.

there were no casualties and no significant injuries.

i can recover the rest.

can we go on now?

who raised you as a child?

we'll need more than you when we enter.

we love you more than heaven.

you came to get me.

oh, my. i do apologize, but this is a restricted area.

we've done what we need to do. wrap it up.

you know what? it doesn't matter.

you have to say “off the record” beforehand, not after.

we must get to the bunker!

i am giving you one last chance to stop!

i don't get it. what's bad about that?

buckle up, we're going live.

no, you are not going to take credit for this.

come on, bro. don't be such a wuss.

okay, well, a lot of people love 'em.

you're just trying to get information out of me.

you love breakfast.

you are not punk rock.

she has to be the biggest idiot in the world.

we'll take my ride.

i put one foot in front of the other and i try to make the best choices i can.

oh, come on, man.

okay. i'm gonna do my job.

you gotta get outta here. it's not safe.

i'm as human as anyone.

it's not healthy, is it?

i'm not even sure how i feel. honestly.

now you're being dishonest.

what the hell, dude?

i party like a rock star, choir boy.

i was gonna break up with him, actually.

i've been very honest about that. from the beginning.

oh, here. i brought you a donut.

wait. can we talk..?

i'm sorry we fought.

i hope he rots in hell.

i'm punk rock.

hopefully, there's something on here.

i'm coming in on my own accord.

there's gotta be a better way to do this.

he's been studying him for years.

you have to promise me we get to hang this weekend.

you piece of shit alien!

i can help.

i told you i wasn't good at relationships.

i have a workaround for that as well.

what do you want me to do?

look, i didn't even want to bother you,

take a hike, barbie!

please see what you can find out.

this is all on the record.

i don't know how else to find him.

he'll be dead in minutes.

i screw up all the time.

i couldn't be more proud of you.

you were out there helping them?

hey, bro, what are you doing? stop that!

isn't that one of those justice guys?

is that really how you feel?

do you want me to take it apart and put it back together?

you want me to drive?

sorry about that. i'm so sorry.

you'd be terminated already if it was up to me.

it was very funny today.

he's out there alone and he's probably scared.

we have no consciousness whatsoever.

oh, that's really good.

it's what people on the internet are saying.

hey, buddy. eyes up here.

i cleaned your boots. i'll go get 'em for you.

it's just a working name.

go for its eyes!

i can't stop it. i need your help.

i didn't imagine that would go so quickly.

how's that a mystery?

your superman has abandoned you!

you know that one specifically irritates me!

you have the footage?

would you like a coffee or tea?

i'm not who i thought i was.

can you get in?

where is my dog?

this is what we came for.

darn it, i can be such a jerk sometimes.

i will not accept that. will you?

how are we supposed to know how we feel when we read this malarkey?

enough! you're, you're gonna get all of us in trouble!

good luck with that.

you think this is going well?

the rumors are true.

i swear to god, that's not it.

my point is, i question everything and everyone.

whoa! what do we got here?

i didn't make it up.

how long have they been hooking up?

who are you working with here on earth?

as far as we can ascertain, there's none left on the planet.

parents aren't for telling their children who they're supposed to be.

are you being serious right now?

it's an awfully small distraction.

i really don't understand why you stay in that relationship.

i don't read that stuff.

i know you won't kill me.

you couldn't be more obvious.

with a healthy dose of yellow sun, we'll have him up and at 'em in no time.

kill him! he's still weak!

i don't know what a pocket universe is.

i don't know how in the hell this thing hasn't been spotted.

we can't stand here much longer.

this is your last warning.

why are you being like this?

i have no family or nothing.

that's how i'll know that i've been sent to fucking hell.

to me, this is like a great moment in my life.

how many times have i been on the other end of that fucking phone?

did you rat me out?

say it to my face, if you're gonna do this.

sweet dreams, angel.

listen to me, you cocksucker, i'll eat your fucking balls for breakfast.

what's it look like i'm doing?

that's a beautiful thing.

let me talk to this fucking guy for a second.

i'm so disgusted with you, you know that?

we could be cops.

we ought to hijack an oil tanker, there's a lot of money in oil.

he could have got whacked out just for that, for your information.

you understand? i'd die with you.

you know what you did, pal.

i want my husband.

hey, i'm talking to you now.

you ain't got no fucking idea, my friend.

the whole society's going down the tubes.

my ex-wife lives in this building.

i don't want to have to come looking for you. you hear me?

you're getting senile.

you want me to help you out?

why don't you go to the bar and have a drink?

i'll be in the kitchen if you need me.

if he gets in touch with you, you have got to try to talk sense into him.

ain't no way you can say to me a lincoln is better than a cadillac.

i guess you didn't ever think of paying these guys off, did you?

who's that over there?

keep your nose clean, be a good earner, follow the rules, and who knows, maybe one day when they open the books, you get straightened out.

i didn't know that.

that's something i don't forget, something that i will never ever forget.

from now on, i'll deal out the cards,

why'd you pay for that drink? a wise guy never pays for a drink.

i said i knew him, i didn't say i fucked him.

this guy is going to fucking kill you.

get me the fuck out of here!

okay. i'm sorry. i gotta go back to sleep.

it's not even a debate, it's a better automobile!

who's this guy?

you think i hate you?

i spent all these years trying to be the good guy.

what makes you think we're wise guys?

i got to have three spritzers afterward just to calm down after i see her.

you vouch for this guy?

you're on my side because i say you're on my side.

what? i'm freezing here!

i'm gonna show you something, i want you to look at it very carefully, and then i want you to think very carefully about what you say to me.

got a girlfriend?

were you asleep?

i just shit in my pants, right?

you're not the only one out there risking your life, bud.

i'm freezing my balls off.

what do we got to be standing outside all day in the cold for?

don't get on your fucking high horse.

did you ever once ask yourself how i make it through my days?

honey, don't wait up for me tonight.

a lincoln is better. it's a better automobile.

bing-bada-boom, it's done.

i'll bet you $20 that you can't get through this entire meal without saying three words.

don't ask so many fucking questions.

how about if i fucking whack you right here and now?

this is life or death.

what the fuck am i gonna do with razor blades?

i'm out here, worried to my fucking death.

you want to check in with me tomorrow?

go home, you miserable bitch.

we're gonna have to wash your mouth out, bud.

i don't want to come down here and iron anything out.

that's for the fucking drinks, pal.

you love control, don't you?

he got me so fucking aggravated.

forget about it.

the bureau wants your autograph.

fuck you, it's not over. i'm not coming out.

i'm checking my lipstick.

you think i'm fucking stupid?

i was working. nothing i could do.

you understand what i'm saying?

it's a nice fucking bluff, huh?

i can get these real cheap and i got a guy who can move them.

you have no idea what you're talking about.

i ain't running from nothing.

one day, i'm gonna die.

i want a divorce.

the meek want to inherit the earth, they're gonna have to get in fucking line.

i'm known all over the fucking world.

where are you going? wait in the car.

want to tell me where we're going?

don't you fucking call me cocksucker.

you think i got a wire in my car?

he ain't got no fucking respect.

you think i don't know that?

go back to sleep. i'll call you tomorrow.

am i getting the silent treatment?

no man of mine is gonna be alone on christmas. come on in here.

i'm doing the best i can.

you'd better fucking kill me.

just give me half a second, would you?

in all the five boroughs, i'm known.

i tell you right now, we better start earning or somebody's gonna get clipped.

you stabbed the wrong guy in the back, my friend.

you're starting to repeat yourself.

you a cop?

you know what happens when you get there, don't you?

i know you. you don't say nothing unless there's a reason for it.

this is a fucking deformed creature from the black lagoon‘s claw i got here.

sometimes you don't make no fucking sense.

we got about two minutes to figure a way out of this thing.

what the fuck are you doing down there?

i live with that every day.

don't start this shit now.

what the fuck are you talking about?

give it back to me, okay?

just stand there and look dangerous, friend.

i did what you asked.

come on, give me a hand with this.

you're pissing up the wrong fucking tree.

i'll cut your fucking throat, understand?

you're not saying things that mean anything.

you belong to me now.

i'll take care of it.

are you kidding me?

i got bruises on my hands.

i want to eat sometime tonight.

i want to know what you're up to.

congratulations. come here.

do you know another man that vacuums? it's abnormal.

this job is eating me alive.

fuck you, i'm getting my own room.

you know what i did yesterday?

ask him why this place is such a fucking dump.

it's a misunderstanding.

he does look dangerous, don't he?

are you married?

could you spot me a couple hundred?

how else am i supposed to open this?

keep your eye out for your balls.

i never said you was a rat.

wow. look at this.

you know that i wouldn't do this to you if i didn't think you could handle it.

you're gonna walk out on me? you don't walk out on me, i walk out on you.

i don't got a family.

i need a steak, medium rare. couple bowls of chili, extra hot.

one of you has got to be wrong.

how am i supposed to know if you don't explain it?

i'll show you a fucking picture.

if i vouch for the guy, i could wind up dead.

you know i'm sorry.

the good news is my dick is now a popsicle.

quit riding the fucking brake.

he'll never know what hit him.

you don't make no fucking sense.

look how beautiful you look.

just go away. stay away.

i don't want to die.

there's got to be a snitch here.

you're here for my dad?

i'm sorry.

i wanted to be alone with you.

what kind of people are gonna take another man's property right off the street?

i don't even want to look at you.

ain't that something?

you looked at it for two seconds.

are you trying to get me killed with that fucking suit?

i'm telling you, i'm freezing to my fucking death.

what? you gonna leave me?

hey, i got a fucking black belt, pal.

why don't you just shut the fuck up?

he was a friend of mine. broad daylight. i can't believe it.

come on, i'm gonna get a candy bar.

what are you talking to him for?

a wise guy don't carry his money in a wallet.

i'll break your fucking head.

no, i didn't hear a fucking thing.

what's the big deal?

hey, pal, you want to see something?

you got to get rid of that mustache 'cause that's against the rules.

a lincoln's like driving a fucking water bed, for christ's sakes.

you took away your wife's ring?

why don't you give it to your wife?

a wise guy's always right; even when he's wrong, he's right.

it's over.

i'm so tired.

wise guys? what are wise guys?

christ, i think i shit my pants.

what would i do without you?

did i say that? did i say you got a wire?

well, well, i've got to school you, my friend.

i pretend you're dead, that's how my life makes sense to me.

i got some things i got to take care of.

you're right. i misunderstood.

i'm not gonna do it anymore.

put the phone on your pillow, i want to listen to you breathe.

i was up here. i had a few things to care of.

don't you tell me what i know.

you never hear from the boss until he gets whacked and then your life gets turned around.

you know how fucking embarrassed i am?

what do you want me to do?

god, why do you hate me when i love you so much?

you keep your mouth shut about me.

how do you find anything in here?

since when does she have a boyfriend?

i didn't mean no disrespect.

that's a tiffany fucking diamond.

if you knew what i was doing today..

it's fucking cold. why is it so cold in here?

i don't want to be stepping on nobody's toes.

you're becoming like them, you know that?

if this is your family, then this is your family.

i came here to be with you.

what do you want me to say?

you don't talk until i talk to you.

whoa, you don't fucking call me that.

i'll blow his brains right there.

no, hold on. wait. i gave you the diamond.

a guy like you doesn't touch a made guy.

i'm getting fucking cancer over here.

you know what i'm saying?

he's a stand-up guy.

your father is so proud of you.

what happened to him? is he gonna be all right?

do what you're told.

seven days a week, i'm out there busting my ass, and this is the shit i come home to.

come on upstairs.

sorry ain't gonna do it.

the problem is that you think that he's helping you, but he's hurting you.

you, wait in the car.

when i introduce you, i'm gonna say, "this is a friend of mine." that means you're a connected guy.

come here. don't mess around with me.

jesus christ couldn't touch you, because i represent you.

a wise guy carries money in a roll, like this. see?

let me tell you something, i hope he crossed over.

you want to go embarrass yourself with this thing..

you don't know the worries i got.

you scared that guy, though.

will you fucking stop that?

you got a car?

is that your way of saying you're sorry?

you're taking the whole fucking thing apart.

i don't know how long i'm gonna be.

you're sorry? shut the fuck up.

hey, you. come here!

you owe me $8,000.

what do you know?

all i'm saying, i'm saying they don't appreciate you, is what i'm saying.

take off your shoes, or i'm gonna chop off your fucking feet.

you don't mention his name, all right?

where you going? sit down there.

come on, honey. come home.

you said it was gonna be three months, it's going on two years.

give me the keys.

all that fucking money you owe downtown, you'd have to lay off a fucking brink's truck.

i was hoping we'd get off on the right foot here.

i got a girl out there in california.

i want to help you out.

that's really nice of you.

sometimes i think, in that orphanage, they dropped you on your fucking head.

nobody else gave a fuck.

all i want from my end is $8,000.

forget it, i ain't taking my fucking shoes off.

the army? it ain't nothing like the army. the army is some guy you don't know sends you out to whack some other guy you don't know.

that's good, babe.

what were you doing last night?

what do you think you're running from?

i think you owe me an apology.

i'm gonna show you something.

i got 26 fucking hits under my belt, and you're the one he's scared of.

a cadillac's got more acceleration, it's got more power.

you think that's funny? i don't think that's so funny.

where the hell am i gonna get money to go bribing cops? nobody authorized that.

we're getting what we want. fuck him.

you losing your marbles on me or what?

give him a smack in the mouth once in a while.

you don't got a family?

you gonna break his legs?

nobody can touch you now. i'm your man.

what's that, you want me to sign it?

what kind of car do you drive?

a son should respect his father, capisce?

are you okay, honey?

i'm gonna be right here. all right?

where we going?

it was the only thing i liked about this job.

they're gonna kill him, because he vouched for me, because he stood up for me.

i put a bet on a horse, that horse don't do what it's supposed to do, like every fucking thing else in my life.

what do you want? $100?

i said that?

you don't have to be fucking einstein to understand this.

come on. i was just bullshitting around.

pull over. i've got to do something.

please calm down.

can you believe those fucking guys?

this ain't a fucking rodeo.

i'm your best friend.

he looked after me when i was in the can.

where the fuck do you get your ideas?

i ain't married.

just shut up, please. leave me alone.

you think i don't know how a hit gets set up?

we never had this kind of a problem when nixon was around.

i'd like to put a dent in that guy's head.

that's the same thing as if i put the bullet in his head myself, you understand?

this place is a goddamn palace, for christ's sake.

i didn't rat you out.

i demand that you tell me where my husband is!

i brought this by for you, it's a little christmas present.

let's go get your car. come on.

i don't hate you.

you know who you're talking to, my friend?

shut the fuck up. nobody's going to jail.

[mcflymemes]

PROMPTS FROM CYBERPUNK 2077 (PART 1) *  assorted dialogue from the game, adjust as necessary.

a moment of pain, and you'll be set.

some bastard tried to mug me. i handled it.

do i look like a priest that runs a charity to you?

it's common fucking knowledge.

i sometimes get the impression you forget you aren't from around here.

i'm open to other options.

i'm a man of my word, you know that.

how would i know? why would i care?

it's a hot item, and i know where to find it.

how am i supposed to do this?

well, who do we have here... [name]... long time. didn't know you were around.

no one calls me by my name anymore. almost forgotten how it sounds.

nothing ever changes here. i'd rather hear about you.

as you can see, i'm back. if it'd been better there, wouldn't've left.

maybe it'll all work out for the best.

stop the car.

looks like it's my lucky day.

one more fucking word...

stay outta this. i don't know you.

it seems our conversation has come to a close.

i'm pleased to see you have not forgotten your roots.

who was that?

pull up here. right here. i'll just drop down below.

maybe we can also work together again. take ourselves back two years.

see? we're rich.

get the fuck out.

don't move! you're under arrest!

stay where you are!

you know fuck all about me.

it's a waste of effort. i have no time to testify or play at an investigation.

honestly, for a second there, things looked iffy. wasn't sure we'd worm outta that alive.

eyes and ears open, all right?

elevator. this way.

you want nice, supportive? call a damn helpline.

nice. i couldn't done that better myself.

on your toes. more bodies incoming. they're almost on you.

shit, where the hell's our target?

heard people who live through shit like this get panic attacks.

is that even safe?

look sharp. not done yet.

it can wait. let's just focus on getting home.

so you can be nice when you feel like it.

you get any sleep?

oh, i get it. you wanna get rich off my blood, sweat, and tears.

good to see you, [name]. it's been a while. to what do i owe the pleasure today?

keep your guard up, that's all.

sounds like it could come in handy, then.

we'll work something out.

don't be mean now.

draw your weapon.

i've got this delicate matter. it's why i called you.

i know exactly how that sounds.

if i get a tip about a possible attack, i'll give you a call.

how's your mom?

would you rather live in peace as mr nobody, die dipe, old, and smelling slightly of urine? or go down for all times in a blaze of glory, smelling near like posies, without seeing your thirtieth?

let me hear it. what's the job?

not a sales pitch. it's a warning.

think you can handle it?

so what went wrong?

i like to know everything about the people i work with.

why we meeting here? any particular reason?

you have trouble accepting compliments?

have you known each other long?

EYEBROW QUIRKS, SMIRK ever present. “ & how's that working out for you? you're so high strung all the damn time, you never want to go out & do anything fun anymore. i think you need to get laid. seriously, i'm about to start playing wingman just to help you find someone. it worries me that you aren't getting off just to release some stress. it'll definitely do you some good. ”

[adonaldson]

He rolled his eyes, "Sure go ahead and try." He gave a shrug. Yes Art wanted a relationship, but Tennis was important, and school was important. Art was at the Academy on a scholarship, and he was trying to get a scholarship to college. Alot was riding on him actually trying to do well. "But I have to do school work, and practice. We can't all get by on shitty serve technique." Art was not as good as Patrick, so he had to work at it if he wanted to be.

[271stbest]

GOD, WAS HE always this high strung nowadays? patrick thought it was bad before. what the fuck had tashi done to him? “ you want me to ask you to join the next time your wife wants to cheat on you? jesus christ, art. do you hear how that sounds? have some fucking self respect. ”

[adonaldson]

Art had self respect, did he know where it was. Not at the moment, he hadn't really known since he lost the Juniors to Patrick. "I want YOU to think about me, consider me," he said sounding far more desperate than he wanted. Art had lost that control of himself in this conversation. If Patrick wanted Art unfiltered, congratulations he got him. "You have never done that. Not even at the Juniors, I was only included then because of Tashi. Is it too much to ask for you to think about me, because I KNOW she was."
