— the invisible man (2020) ; sentence starters.
❛ __, i'm sorry. i can't take you with me. ❜
❛ __, what is going on? are you okay? ❜
❛ open the fucking door, __! open the door! ❜
❛ you can't do this! get back here! ❜
❛ how long have you been up? ❜
❛ now, you know if you close your eyes and you lie down, that usually helps. ❜
❛ don't think being tired gets you out of our little deal now. ❜
❛ he's not out there. i promise. ❜
❛ i'm sorry, i just... i'm not ready yet. ❜
❛ i can't work this goddamn thing. ❜
❛ do i know you? do i owe you money? ❜
❛ what are you doing here, __? ❜
❛ well, it's nice to see you too, __. ❜
❛ i asked you not to come over. ❜
❛ okay, i have a plan, and i just... i need you to go along with it and just not be in control for one second. ❜
❛ i'm not trying to control you, boo. ❜
❛ i'm desperately trying to tell you that you don't need to cut me off anymore. ❜
❛ what did he do to you? can you talk to me? ❜
❛ it just doesn't make any sense. ❜
❛ you're here with us now. and you're safe. ❜
❛ i'm not telling you to aim low. i'm just saying, explore more than one option, okay? ❜
❛ i think it's important to have goals, __. ❜
❛ no one knows i'm here. ❜
❛ no, no. sorry. you're not allowed to do that. ❜
❛ i'm just trying to do my job. ❜
❛ if there was a chance of physically being close to him, we would not be here for any amount of money. ❜
❛ i know i didn't hear you just say that. ❜
❛ come on, are you sure you can do that? ❜
❛ i'm an innocent man trying to do right. ❜
❛ you think we can salvage it? ❜
❛ __ will haunt you if you let him. don't let him. ❜
❛ that was the best time of my life, for sure. ❜
❛ let me see some of your work. ❜
❛ tell him to stop what he's doing. ❜
❛ something tells me you know exactly what i'm talking about. ❜
❛ he came up with the perfect way to torture you even in death. ❜
❛ i was relieved... when i heard that he was dead. ❜
❛ listen to me. don't let him win by bringing him back to life. ❜
❛ __, i need to talk to you. ❜
❛ well, at least we have clarity. now i know what you really think of me. ❜
❛ thank you so much for carving out the time to let me know how—quote, unquote—"suffocating" i am to you. ❜
❛ not that i should have to say this, but i never expected any of that money. ❜
❛ __, i-i don't... i don't know what you're talking about. ❜
❛ if that's how you feel about me, don't ask me to bail you out of your personal life anymore. ❜
❛ if you're too stupid to know who the good guys are and too weak to get away from the bad ones, don't sob to me for charity. ❜
❛ someone is doing this to me. ❜
❛ you are suffocating to me. ❜
❛ i don't want to see you anymore. i don't want to know you anymore. ❜
❛ sometimes i wish you had died instead. ❜
❛ __, i would never. i'm sorry. ❜
❛ you need to calm down. ❜
❛ you don't need to be here right now. ❜
❛ where are you? come on out. ❜
❛ so, why me, __? you could have any woman you wanted. ❜
❛ that's what money and power buy you. people. ❜
❛ can't you just forget i ever existed? ❜
❛ there's nothing left for you to take. you've already taken it all. ❜
❛ do you think you could wait for me? ❜
❛ i don't think i have much time left. ❜
❛ thank you for being here. i love you. ❜
❛ you're like a cop, __, and you have this brute-force strength that is so, so comforting when i'm in trouble, and it is really intimidating when i'm not. ❜
❛ i need that strength in my life right now. ❜
❛ and i need you to believe what i'm about to tell you. ❜
❛ i found something that can prove what i'm experiencing. ❜
❛ you have to listen to me! ❜
❛ i have something that will prove he's alive. ❜
❛ tell me you don't think i did this. tell me you know that. ❜
❛ i shouldn't have walked out on you and left you alone. i failed you. ❜
❛ no, that can't be right. that... that's not true. ❜
❛ it's upsetting to see you in this condition. ❜
❛ i used to feel sorry for you. ❜
❛ but now... i can see you for what you really are. ❜
❛ you're just the jellyfish version of him. everything but the spine. ❜
❛ or there's one option, where this all goes away... ❜
❛ you should have known he'd find out. you knew him as well as i did. ❜
❛ he was always going to find you no matter what he had to do. ❜
❛ he needs you, because you don't need him. no one's ever left him. ❜
❛ it's time to stop playing games. ❜
❛ __, you don't really have a choice right now. ❜
❛ right now, you're a murderer. ❜
❛ but i can change that. ❜
❛ i don't expect you to make a decision right now. ❜
❛ you think you're learning how to beat me, so i'm gonna truly teach you something. ❜
❛ if you fight me, i won't hurt you. i'll find someone you love and hurt them instead. ❜
❛ __, don't do anything stupid. ❜
❛ it doesn't matter about that. you have to listen to me. ❜
❛ okay, listen, i need you to keep that to yourself and let me do my job. ❜
❛ just let me help you. ❜
❛ yeah, but as long as __'s around, you can't help me. ❜
❛ well... you look amazing. i mean, you-you've always... you always look amazing. ❜
❛ i don't feel amazing. it's all a lie. ❜
❛ so, i wanted to get us some simple takeout, but, of course, i started obsessing over what you'd be in the mood for. ❜
❛ my hand's shaking... you know, you're the only person in the world who gets to see my hand shake. ❜
❛ it's 'cause i need you, __. ❜
❛ i know i didn't treat you the way you should have been treated when we were together. but i've learned my lesson. ❜
❛ i would burn everything i own just to prove that to you. ❜
❛ i need you to admit everything that you did. ❜
❛ i need to know that i'm not crazy, okay? ❜
❛ and we can't start this with a lie. ❜
❛ but i'm not starting with a lie. ❜
❛ it wasn't me. i swear it. ❜
❛ why can't you just tell me the truth? ❜
❛ i need you to do this for me. more than that, do it for you, __. ❜
❛ i am telling you the truth. ❜
❛ i know that you feel like you're going insane sometimes. but i'm the only one who can help you. ❜
❛ what'd it sound like to you? ❜
