♡︎ ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING S1 ! ... quotes from season one of the murder mystery show.  alter as you see fit.

sometimes, when i can't sleep, i imagine brutally murdering that dude. and i'm out like a light. works every time.

as i said, it's a lot. don't be here if you don't like a lot.

really ? ! do you not see this coat ! ?

just when it's all starting to feel the same, that's when you get hit by something you never saw coming.

i don't know why this keeps happening.

even the elevator wanted that story to end.

you don't have to answer that, [name]. i mean ... i mean unless you want to because i'm also curious.

that's really all we want, isn't it ? more time with the people we love.

fuck 'em. i'm offer only.

you're living here in the middle of a renovation ?

alone isn't so bad.

 i'd rather die.

sometimes it's easier to figure out someone else's secret than it is to deal with your own.

i literally feel myself ageing when i listen to you.

he seems to have had a really sad, quiet life.

i've fallen in love with so many dead people.

i don't want to think about back then. i'm a different person now.

if you see me 'round the building, act like you don't know me.

i can't think of anything less pleasant.

i live on long island where they give out loose cigarettes and lighters.

it was fun, mostly. until the end.

i saw that bullshit on youtube this morning.

aren't you a little old to still be playing hardy boys ?

they're trying to help me find someone who cared about you.

intriguing, and yet totally backwards.

i don't have a clue what's happening here, but none of it's interesting.

i just need to know how invested i should get in you.

i mean, you're insane, but that's usually who people want to follow.

this is exactly like die hard !

i'm gonna stop you before you accidentally say i'm not sexy.

dips are an actual meal. i keep telling you this.

no. to that whole sentence.

oh, so it's my turn to tell you my red flags ?

well, i could use a  drink and a dip.

i like you. and i would like a second date.

 what's more dangerous ? taking advantage of a second chance, or letting it pass you by ?

wait, are you at that pretzel cart ? i want one.

you're lying to your boyfriend 'cause you feel like even the way you're thinking about me is cheating ?

twins creep me the fuck out.

um, i was adorable.

i think ... i've kind of been waiting for you.

i dug the fucker up and ripped it out of his cold dead hands.

you don't quit, no matter how bad it gets.

i know that was insensitive.

and what's the safe word for me to get out of this conversation ?

wait, you've got a girlfriend ?

sorry, i'm not good at confrontation.

hey, would it be okay if i came to see you tomorrow ?

do you think his sex toys could reveal anything ?

we are so gonna get tarantino'd !

this is the first romantic relationship i've had in years ! why are you trying to ruin it for me?

i'm a sucker for lonely guys with notable age differences i meet on elevators.

i want you to know this is definitely one of my rougher breakups, [name]. i really did fall in love with you.

okay, where did you get a quaalude ?

i can tell you what happened. you know, the whole insane story, unless you need to get going.

i have nothing left to teach you.

you know, i'm thinking of putting myself out there again.

♡︎ SOME LIKE IT HOT ! ... from billy wilder's 1959 film.  mentions of alcohol, suicidal ideation. alter as you see fit.

what's the password ?

well, if you gotta go, that's the way to do it.

i want another cup of coffee.

how can you be so selfish ? we owe rent.

i thought you weren't talking to me.

if you gave me a chance, we could be living like kings.

i'll make it up to you.

i just thought I'd go home and have some cold pizza.

i think I'm gonna be sick.

there's a dance tonight.

i'm only with them 'cause i'm running away.

hey, you want some ? it's bourbon.

i always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop.

it's freezing outside.

i don't want her to know we're in cahoots.

you stay here as long as you like.

you poor thing. you're trembling all over.

manhattans ? at this time of night ?

i have this thing about saxophone players.

i don't care how rich he is. as long as he has a yacht, a private railroad car, and his own toothpaste.

i'm workin' the night shift and i got a bottle of gin stashed away.

your face is familiar.

would you mind moving a little ? you're blocking my view.

it's amazing we never ran into each other before. i'd have remembered anybody as attractive as you.

we have to be very careful whom we pick for a roommate.

oh, you can do better than that.

i'm not afraid of you. i'm thin, but i'm wiry.

why do i let you talk me into these things ? why ?

it's not how long you wait. it's who you're waiting for.

would you like a glass of champagne ?

i was in love once, but i'd rather not talk about it.

how can you think about food at a time like this ?

if i wasn't such a coward, i'd kill myself.

your glasses are beginning to steam up.

do you think he's too old for me ?

i'm not stupid. i know there's a problem.

[name], this may be my last chance to marry a millionaire.

are you always this generous ?

my compliments to the chef.

i told you, i'm not very bright.

i forgive you.

nobody's perfect.

↪ ᵀᴴᴱ 𝑀𝐼𝐶𝐾 , ꮲꭲ 2 . (  a  series  of  sentence  starters  from  season  1  of fox's sitcom ,  “ the mick ” adjust phrasing as necessary . )

damn , [ name ] , how many cars can one person crash ?

i can't help it — when i'm behind the wheel , i'm a slave to the power of the machine .

other people worked very hard to buy those cars , and now they're mine .

why you gotta put me in a cage ?

i'm not a rat , okay ?

shut up , you don't know what you're talking about .

i am NOT joking , i don't wanna do this .

guys , we don't snitch . that's it , end of story .

will you listen to yourself ?? "jUsT tElL tHe tRuTh"

[ name ] , you snitch you die !

pretty sure that was already there when i walked up .

how is this good news ?

everyone's gonna call me a traitor , like you .

don't worry about it , it was worth it .

what are you doing tomorrow night ?

just say the words , and it can be yours .

oh , it's like that , huh ? fine .

what was that ? i can't hear you ... you can't breathe ?

you better figure something out , 'cause if you don't — i'll have to go public with this .

that's called extortion , stupid !

those guys are just covering their own asses , they don't even like you .

as easily as i can save you in this world , i can destroy you .

if anybody messes with you , let us know - okay ?

with a dong like that , you'd think he'd be happier .

do i look like i'm playing , [ last name ] ?

oh , your breath reeks of booze .

i hope you have a plan .

i was up all night watching prep school movies in preparation .

there are some real evil illuminati-type vibes in here , right ?

there was a time i could see , and i have seen .

oh , i'm just getting warmed up .

we are but food for worms , gentlemen .

whose burrito did i just step in ?

get out of here , the tv's mine .

what did you do to my shirt ??

how would you feel if i ran around stealing your clothes ?

we had to kill him cause he wasn't a team player .

no more special treatment for you .

i grew up in squalor , i am perfectly comfortable in it .

[ name ] , don't you dare !

didn't know you were gonna be so weird about it .

if you decide that you don't want me around , just tell me and i will go .

you're not the only game in town , buddy , okay ?

you don't know who i hang out with .

jealousy is the reason people hate us .

you don't have to worry about labels , just like who you like .

i hope this is some sort of emergency .

you kept me waiting , so i'm gonna get right to it .

don't make this your thing , this is [ name's ] thing .

suing is how rich white people solve their problems .

i wanted to sing and show you there's nothing to be afraid of .

i'm so nervous for you ... i want to throw up and run away .

you could have me escorted out , but you have no security .

ooh , dark scary room ! you know what they call that in prison ? they call that a blind spot . great place to catch a shiv .

what kind of operation are you running here ?

you didn't do anything wrong . i was the problem , not you .

where i'm from , the guest gets the good seat .

i drink , smoke , lie , steal ... i'm drunk right now .

i will ruin him . please don't let me do that .

i'm not the one doing whatever you guys are doing ... what are you doing ?

i'm not judging , at least he's a hot mess .

it's the wolf's job to eat the sheep , so y'know ... this was bound to happen .

i will RUIN you when we get home .

i'll give it back to you in a minute , you're gonna get it back .

the suit you destroyed cost a grand !

come on , [ name ] . i'll help you get settled .

he can't know it was my idea .

she made her mean bed and she can sleep in those scratchy sheets .

woah , tough day at the office ?

what the hell did you just say to me ?

you are right ... no matter what you say about anything .

we do this all the time , but usually there's some art to it .

this is not nearly as fun as i thought it was gonna be .

you're letting a bunch of nerds pick on you with their computers ?

why don't you just systematically destroy her ?

i can see where this is headed , so i'm just gonna hit the road .

she ripped me open , stuffed me full of devastation and then sewed me back up again .

leave me alone , this is all your fault .

why are they yelling ? are they angry cause they're bad musicians ?

i will never understand your generation .

let me have it . how bad is it ?

do you have any idea what i saw in there ?

you should come and check out what's going on outside , cause i think you'll be pleasantly surprised .

i just want us to be friends again .

it would be such a silly waste of time for someone like me to be mad at someone as insignificant as you .

the truth is , i pity you .

when the universe gives you a sign , it's not up to you to ignore it .

[ name ] gave it to me . it means i'm in charge .

i'm not comfortable with the whole arrangement . where's [ name ] ?

this is outrageous ! i'm getting passed over again ?

i don't have a problem , i'm just blowing off some steam .

you wanna get in on this ?

you deserve to take a time out as much as anybody else .

sorry , i didn't realize you were the fun police .

having money has reaaally changed you .

i've lost control ?! oh no , you dumb , dumb idiot . YOU'VE lost control .

that's a gross overreaction .

i will show myself the door in a ... graceful and classy manner .

thanks for sticking around .

look , i realize i did some questionable things in there .

i just felt like the universe was giving me a sign .

i'm the only one worthy of its power !

keep it in your pants and follow my lead .

it's no offense , i just don't know you very well .

let's go over this one more time , just so we're clear .

we've already been over the terms .

what's in it for you ?

i like the element of surprise .

wasn't expecting that . are you okay ?

i saw a burglar , i didn't know what to do ... so i SMOKED his ass !

you SHOT me ! what the hell's the matter with you ?

that gunpowder's like a hundred years old , it probably just broke the skin .

what about the police ? they're expecting a gunshot victim .

guys , we've gotta move this along , okay ?

you got it , i'll get you a pillow .

you're lucky no one was killed .

here's the thing about the bordeaux ... i drank it .

i'm so sorry that you had to keep our mansion warm .

how do you think the police found them ?

if you're done criticizing me , i think i'll head on up to bed .

you want me to do the jobs no one else wants ?

can we pick this up tomorrow ? i was shot , so ... i'm very tired .

it has nothing to do with that . okay ? now please leave .

i wanted to thank you for having my back earlier .

that had nothing to do with you . i was just trying to hurt them .

it's chloroform . i found a recipe online .

[ name ] , don't come at me with that .

i was gonna do whatever it takes . i'm not a quitter.

i wanna tell you , i really do . but first there's something i need .

oh my god , you're bailing again .

innocent people don't sneak in and out of their own home .

'cause i don't like you , that's why .

i'd rather get mowed down in a hellfire of bullets than listen to you screech .

you don't have to lie . i heard you guys .

how was i supposed to know you were gonna hug me ? i didn't even know you knew how to hug .

♫ @variations ... are you coming or not ?

her voice breaks through the hubbub of the crowd, & jamie's head shoots up, distracted from the conversation he's found himself in. “  yeah, yeah, yeah !  ” he  enthuses, his arm still slung around the shoulders of one of the people he'd been talking to. cheeks pink, gaze bright, like talking to people rejuvenates him. & others. jamie is, he thinks, whatever the opposite of an energy vampire is. he turns to one of the group, apologetic.  “  i'm bein' summoned.  ” a shrug of what can you do ? & he's extricating himself from the group whilst trying to wrap up all conversation threads. finally he appears by chris' side, shrugging into his jacket. “  sorry, i got distracted.  ” someone approaches, & jamie pauses for a moment before giving in. “  you go on ahead, chris — i'll catch up. ten minutes, i swear.  ”
