the blacklist : season 1 … sentence starters
“A man’s life is at stake!“
“You killed three people.“
“Aren’t you presumptuous?“
“I never tire of being correct.“
“I only do what’s good for me.“
“Why involve me? I’m nobody.“
“If I do nothing, he dies anyway.”
“I was asked to make you suffer.“
“Is that meant to be directed at me?“
“I prefer to play with myself in private.“
“We are not going to live through this…“
“We never really know anyone, do we?“
“You’re a pain in my neck, but I like you.”
“What other secrets have you just given away?“
“If you had come to me, I could have helped you.“
“I wish I could help you, but you know how it goes.“
“If you really want her to talk, I should meet with her.“
“I have no interest in cases that I have no interest in.“
“Shut up and hand me that Snickers bar, would you?“
“We could have avoided all of this. But now we can’t.“
“They replace trust with fear and the threat of violence.“
“That may be, but killing him isn’t gonna solve anything.“
“And, little pig, little pig, you are going to let me come in.“
“Your cure is experimental. It could just as easily kill him.“
“And it will end with your screams, as God is my witness.“
“I can only lead you to the truth; I can’t make you believe it.“
“Just out of curiosity, what number am I on your speed dial?“
“We could’ve killed you. I don’t mean today. I mean any day.“
“Everything changes. Everything evolves. This is my evolution.“
“Let me put your mind at ease. I’m never telling you everything.“
“A man’s life is always at stake. And tragically low stakes at that.“
“Why are you doing this? You don’t take life. You clean up death.“
“'Cause I don’t like you. And that hat makes your head look funny.“
“If you’re looking for sympathy, you might want to start with honesty.“
“You all seem to be doing a perfectly mediocre job of that on your own.“
“You’re here because somebody screwed up. The deal went sideways.“
“Do you have any idea what this man has done? This man is a monster!”
“We let you live. And in exchange, we we trust that our secret remains secret.“
“As soon as you hang up that phone, he’s gonna kill you, then he’s gonna kill me.”
“Now you see? You make it sound like treason, so black and white. It’s not, it’s green.”
“Of course not! I’m a criminal. Criminals are notorious liars. Everything about me is a lie.“
“You’re not one of the good guys, and as of today, you’re utterly worthless to the bad guys.“
“That’s why I won’t allow that punk out there to get the best of me, let alone the last of me.“
“What if I were to tell you that all the things you’ve come to believe about yourself are a lie?“
“But, if anyone will give me a second chance it’s you. The two of us have overcome so much.“
“It’s hard to… not say goodbye. I have lost so many people. Never seems to get any easier.“
“I walked through the door. And there was just blood. All I saw was blood. All there was was blood.“
“Did you really think there was a distance you could cover? Or a hole deep enough that you could hide in?”
“Before we do this, let me be clear. I’m not here to socialize, I have no interest in having dinner with you, nor do we have the time.“
“Have you ever wondered how criminals who know they can’t trust one another are still able to conduct business with each other?“
“Five years thinking about the pain I was going to inflict on you while slowly breaking your will, your body, and finally your mind. That day is here, my friend.“
“I think you’re trying to dissolve something else. Your past, maybe? Whatever the horrible thing was that twisted you up inside and made you into the freak that you are!“
“I’ve been moving comfortably through the world for the past twenty years without a trace, and now some two-bit spy killer is going to put my life and business in jeopardy?”
“There is nothing that can take the pain away. But eventually, you will find a way to… live with it. There will be nightmares. And everyday when you wake up, it will be the first thing you think about. Until one day, it will be the second thing.”
