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.

the last romantics, pt. 1.

dialogue prompts from the last romantics by tara conklin.

it’s still surprising that my words matter to someone other than me.

who was your inspiration?

you’re not answering the question.

one day at a time. cross one thing off your list at a time.

i’m not teasing, i’m just telling the truth.

keeping busy is the best defense against feeling sad. it’s simple, but it’s true.

you look just like your father.

you’re the man of the family now. don’t you forget it.

i only wish i’d come sooner.

i hadn’t realized you were so alone.

i don’t want you making the same mistakes i did.

you must have your own money, your own direction in life.

people can be gone in an instant, so be prepared.

i don’t like to feel out of control.

you play favorites.

i’m glad you’re my little sister.

i thought we’d missed saying goodbye.

you are impatience personified.

i’m taking a break. you looked sad.

at least you’re not pregnant. you’re not pregnant, are you?

do you think about me, too?

we were too young for that kind of wisdom.

the love of your life is always the one you’ve betrayed the most.

no more college. i quit.

how can you not want something to care for?

postponing difficult decisions is a specialty of mine.

i didn’t tell you, last time.

honesty is always where we fall short.

i know what i want. i don’t need a degree to do it.

everyone has a breaking point.

i’m so glad you came. i’m really touched.

i’ll be a better mother than the one i had.

you look amazing. did i tell you that? so strong and beautiful.

i looked up to you so much.

you can’t leave me alone on this. not again.

don’t let them take me. don’t leave me.

i’ll find you. i’ll always find you.

i’m too busy to be afraid.

i’ll never leave you. i’m staying right here.

have you had any more hallucinations?

i’m sorry you saw that.

it’s going to be okay, right?

there’s nothing i need. except your phone number.

you’re the only one who would understand, anyhow.

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA 1943 | Arthur Lupin

[heireating]

      BOOK STARTERS VOL.27     PHANTOM OF THE OPERA     GASTON LEROUX

❛ If I am to be saved it is because your love redeems me. ❜

❛ All I wanted was to be loved for myself. ❜

❛ I have tasted all the happiness the world can offer. ❜

❛ Shall we pity him? Shall we curse him? ❜

❛ You have a heart that can hold the entire empire of the world. ❜

❛ Look, I am not laughing now, crying, crying for you. ❜

❛ Tonight I gave you my soul, and I am dead. ❜

❛ You are afraid of me! And yet I am not really wicked. Love me and you shall see! ❜

❛ Are people so unhappy when they love? — Yes, when they love and are not sure of being loved. ❜

❛ Your soul is a beautiful thing. No emperor received so fair a gift. The angels wept tonight. ❜

❛ Blood!…Blood!… That’s a good thing! ❜

❛ Now I want to live like everybody else. I want to have a life like everybody else. ❜

❛ You will be the happiest of women. And we will sing, all by ourselves, till we swoon away with delight. ❜

❛ I should be as gentle as a lamb; and you could do anything with me that you pleased. ❜

❛ I am going to die of love, I am dying of love. That’s how it is. I loved you so. I still love you so. ❜

❛ I am dying of love for her, I tell you! If only you knew how beautiful she was when she let me kiss her. ❜

❛ He fills me with horror but I do not hate him. How can I hate him? ❜

❛ Holy angel, in Heaven blessed, my spirit longs with thee to rest. ❜

❛ Nothing is colder or more dead than my heart. ❜

❛ I had loved an angel and now I despise a woman. ❜

❛ Our lives are one masked ball. ❜

❛ Why do you condemn a man whom you have never met, whom no one knows and about whom even you yourself know nothing? ❜

❛ He would commit murder for me. ❜

❛ If I don’t save her from the hands of that humbug, she is lost. But I shall save her. ❜

❛ We will go from here together or die together. ❜

❛ Your fear, your terror, all of that is just love and love of the most exquisite kind, the kind which people do not admit even to themselves. The kind that gives you a thrill, when you think of it. ❜

❛ Destiny has chained you to me forever. ❜

❛ You must never ask me that. ❜

❛ Are you afraid that you will change your mind? ❜

❛ You must come and fetch me in my dressing room at midnight exactly. ❜

The Phantom of the Opera, 1925.

[kaisources]

꒷꒦꒷꒦༉‧🕯️‧₊˚.THE DARKNESS SEEMED TO BREATHE . . a collection of HORROR ROLEPLAY SENTENCE STARTERS based on horror films. genre: horror, thriller, mystery, crime.

The city is full of beautiful surprises.

I dreamt you killed me.

Are the police after me?

Let's see who was killed today.

How do I know this isn't the usual swindle?

I don't know what's happened to me. I've got to get away.

Why do you buy my paintings?

I don't feel very well. I must get some air.

It was an air raid during the war.

Only death could be quieter than this.

Listen, I don't exist to make profits. I'm not a stockbroker.

You can't kill me with that. Come to bed.

Hey, what're you doing? Leave me alone!

Didn't you hear anything?

When I cleaned up today they weren't there!

It's over 25 years since I last stepped inside that villa.

Do you believe in spirits?

I believe in spirits, there's no question in my mind.

I suppose you heard the girl died near the wall of the villa.

Stop, you're making me dizzy.

What's the matter with you? Are you crazy or something?

Why do you have to behave like this?

Why did you cry out just then?

Look out, look out! The roof is falling!

I felt as if someone were pulling me down!

It was as if it wanted to hurt me deliberately.

I don't like the house, and the house obviously doesn't like me.

I find that your wit, as usual, is tasteless.

May I ask just why you're so interested in the house's story?

Don't listen to that! They don't know the truth about her.

We have a very gifted medium in the town, you should to them!

Why don't you come with me tonight?

Spirit, don't you want me in your house?

You want me all to yourself, don't you? Is that why you tried to kill [name]?

If some madman is going around putting flowers under your walls, I couldn't care less.

Your questions reminded me of an old story. A doomed love story.

Nobody, nobody would ever believe me.

You didn't care? Why not?

Come in, come in. What do you want to know?

Don't go. Please, don't go.

You'll kill it like that. Better dead and red.

Have you gone crazy? What are you doing?

Why did you run off the other day?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't want to.

I wouldn't like the people in the village to know about it.

No, I don't. I only know she was killed here.

This house was abandoned.

I'm going to tell you something that I've never told anyone.

What are you looking for?

I don't know who I'm fighting. I can't find an explanation!

What is there to explain?

A girl who died here in this house. Now she haunts this house.

I suppose you are the normal one.

What do you do with yourself here all day, since you're obviously not doing much work?

Who are you betraying me with?

Everything I do and am annoys you, doesn't it?

We have guests tonight. They're all quite mad.

Why do these things keep happening?

It's like, someone in the house doesn't want me here.

It's your imagination, [name]. There's no one else in this house but me.

You're going to call the spirit?

Please stay. You mustn't leave now. At least stay for the séance.

Sometimes the spirit shows its presence by playing on it.

Bring your chair and sit around the table, please.

It's modeling clay, in case the spirit wishes to leave an imprint.

During a séance, anything can happen.

I want you all to put your hands on the table. Let your fingers touch, forming a chain.

Oh, my god, the ghost!

There's something very unusual in the air tonight.

Before we make contact, one word of warning. Do not ask personal questions or mention the subject death.

From now on, nobody breaks the circle.

Give us a sign of your presence.

Spirit, give us a sign!

How did you die? Who killed you?

Turn on the light quickly! Something's fallen on the table!

Break the chain. Turn on the light, please!

It's an omen of some kind.

Is there anything you wish to tell us?

Stop it, all of you! I know what you're doing!

Do you think I'm so stupid I'd believe this?

The spirit wants to leave.

Who is that? My chair's shaking!

Someone tried to strangle me! Get out of here!

Go home! Everyone, go home! She doesn't want you here!
