dialogue prompts from the first season of marvel's jessica jones.
what are you doing in here with all the lights off?
the lights are off to suggest no one is here. but you couldn't take a hint.
i was just leaving. you didn't kick me out. i left.
do you know what shame feels like? real shame?
what you need are electrolytes. something solid in your stomach.
i don't want you in this. i can't protect you anymore.
i only have until 8 to tie up loose ends.
i got a bullshit meter the size of west texas.
glad the demons didn't get the better of you.
you're better than that. i can always tell.

you need a better tagline.
you can't freak out. promise.
i hate goodbyes. i've always just disappeared.
no one else will die because of me.
i'm taking myself out of the equation.
i'm still not the hero that you wanted me to be.
you are exactly the hero i wanted you to be.
your judgment is severely impaired.
don't you know it's rude to stare at people?
how do i know this is not like last time?
i'm tired of missing you.
so what exactly are you hoping is going to happen here?
not a monster. the word i'd use is 'bastard'.
you were a bastard to everyone else, but you were kind to me.
everyone wants to be the hero, right?
there's us and there's them, and that's okay.
stay out of it. stay safe.
do your actions ever haunt you?
you never talk to me about _____. why is that?
not a day goes by that i don't regret not warning you.
you can stay here or you can be a chickenshit.

i will kill you if you die in my car.
you are in no position to ask me to do anything.
i don't like what i see when you're around.
i didn't expect to hear from you again, but i can see why you called.
all that power, and you're too afraid to use it.
all you ever gave me was shame. and remorse. and pain.
what if you and i walked out of here right now?
no one gets under a person's skin like their parents.
the real world is not about happy endings. it's about taking what you have, and fighting like hell to keep it.
i crossed a big line to save you from yourself.
help those people. that's your superpower.
i wish i had a 'mother of the year' award so i could bludgeon you with it.
how do you avenge death by a thousand cuts?
your optimism is getting in the way.
it's not optimism, it's survival.
if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
now that i understand your bullshit, it's all that i see when i look at you.
i feel your sadness, but where is your rage?
it won't happen again because you're leaving.
you can't grow a conscience. there's no pill for that.
after 24 hours without sleep, your short-term memory goes to hell.
assholes are a nuisance. i deal with them every day. you were violent and scary.
nothing says thank you like a rare steak and some cheesecake.
you're strong, but even you can break.
humanity sucks and they don't deserve saving.
still looking out for me, huh?
i appreciate the concern, but i'm not coming back.
well, what doesn't kill us makes us stranger.
you promised not to save me.
just had to be a hero, didn't you?
stop group-texting your location to a bunch of strangers.
it's just every man for himself, then, huh?
it's not the kind of thing people think to ask.
i don't need your approval.
people still look up to you.
you can help yourself to... well, there's nothing.
i think you're someone who's trying to survive.
you keep hidden what you need to hide. i don't need to know what that is.
don't talk about me in the third person. i'm standing right in front of you.
they say that talking about a trauma, that it helps. that and jogging: two things that make me feel like crap.
i'll say it every day for as long as you need to hear it.
it's not home for me anymore.
when this is over, i hope you finally allow yourself some happiness.
if there's a severed body part of any kind in that box, i'm going to be very upset.
i hope they have free express shipping in heaven.
breaking and entering. my specialty.
guilt makes people do stupid shit.
i want everything to be my fault, good or bad. means i have some control.
i usually like a little more romancing.
you're the first person i ever pictured a future with.
you make the rest of us look like selfish pricks.
it's like you have this iron will. hold onto it for me, will you?
doing something good helps with the self-loathing. trust me.
