- ย โLife isn't some cartoon musical where you sing a little song and all your insipid dreams magically come true. So let it go.โ
- โRight. And that's not wet cement.โ
- โIt's called a hustle, sweetheart.โ
- โThey're toxic flowers.โ
- โI wouldn't forgive me either. I was ignorant, and... irresponsible... and small-minded.โ
- โAnd... and after we're done, you can hate me, and that'll be fine, because I was a horrible friend, and I hurt you.โ
- โThere we go, deep breath... Are you... Are you just trying to steal the pen? Is that what this is?โ
- โHa ha! Yes, very funny, very funny. Can we please just focus on the task?โ
- โWe may be evolved, but, deep down, we are still animals.โ
- โTry. Try to make the world a better place.โ
- โLook inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you.โ
- โFelony tax evasion.โ
- โShe hustled you good!โ
- โClearly thereโs a biological component?โ
- โI just stated the facts of the case!โ
- โ I knew it. Just when I thought someone actually believed in me, huh?โ
- โTomorrow's another day.โ
- โNever let them see that they get to you.โ
- โNo kiss bye-bye for Daddy?โ
- โYou kiss me tomorrow, I bite your face off!โ
- โOh! You are naked!โ
- โWell, he was a key witness, and Iโฆโ
- โOh, sweet cheese and crackers.โ
- โWell, he was right about one thing. I don't know when to quit!โ
- โWe are in a REALLY big hurry!โ
- โThen they should've got a real cop to solve it.โ
- โYou strike out, you resign.โ
- โThink of it. 90% of the population united against a common enemy. We'll be unstoppable!โ
- โOf course, it is okay to have dreams.โ
- โOh, I'm more of a glorified secretary.โ
- โFear. Treachery. Bloodlust.โ

"I hope this hurts."
"The only thing that's worth than dyin' is not gettin' paid."
"Man. Pony Express bosses really aren't chill at all, huh?"
"C'mon. One look won't hurt."
"How exactly is this group therapy committee planning on getting in there?"
"I nearly corked a kid once!"
"You were goddamn born fully corked!"
"For better or worse I'm captain now. I'll figure it out."
"He doesn't want to keep still anymore."
"What about the pain killers?"
"...You did make it through nursing school right?"
"I'll take care of it."
"Why do you think he did it?"
"Does it matter? What answer would make you feel any better?
"I have to believe our worst moments don't make us monsters, [name]."
"He tried to take us all down with him, [name]."
"As I see it there's two reasons to keep him alive at this point. Guess the important bit is that we all agreed to it. For one reason or another."
"I'm workin'. Blue collar fools can't afford to stop working even when the machine does. Go figure."
"I ain't letting anyone else mess around in there."
"I warned her, but it was in one ear and out the other."
"Then there's that teeny bopper only thinkin' with his downstairs longnose just like my useless kids back home."
"Are we doing the right thing...?"
"...Are you listening?"
"Couldn't sleep again, but I passed the psych eval?"
"I do wish you'd open up a little more, [name]."
"He acts as if I do these things for fun."
"I've known him a long time. He won't try any bullshit with me."
"They can't expect me to work miracles!"
"I don't know what it means, but... it sounds like fun."
"Passed inspection, right? Shouldn't be an issue."
"I take it [name] diagnosed you with "being sane" then?"
"...How are things otherwise? Off the record."
"I like it. We're in control here."
"How come it always feels like you're standing on the edge of a bridge with your feet in cement?"
"Is this enough? Should I just stay here because I've been successful at it?"
"It's terrifying. I think, "Am I figured out? Is this all I'll ever be?" Or do I take the risk and try something new? Even if I'm bad at it."
"Hm. I guess I get it. You've reached the highest rung on this ladder and now you're thinkin' you might be on the wrong ladder altogether. Still a long way down from the top no matter how you look at it... While I'm still climbing and climbing."
"Hey I believe in you! Here. On Earth. Doesn't matter."
"...It's all mouthwash."
"I s'pose we'll smell good at least."
"Guess anyone could get seriously blasted off this stuff."
"Yeah and kill you in the process."
"...Hey. What's wrong?"
"That's all it said on the report from management. We will receive the paycheck for this delivery. I don't know anymore than that."
"...So I guess you got what you wanted. Without the guilt."
"...[name]. If I had known..."
"I can go back to my, how'd you put it? "Struggle of a life.""
"I'm just working on my life being a place I don't have to fucking escape!"
"We're the ones you're trying to escape! Leave the dirt behind now that your boots are clean."
"You just couldn't frame it to yourself in a way that still kept you as the hero."
"Let's have some fucking cake, hmm?"
"Come on. Stop with the noise."
"I know what everyone is thinking. The way they look at me. What can I even say?"
"I hope these make you feel fucking better."
"Take responsibility."
"Sometimes you can only get the subpar stuff. That' what makes the really good stuff, well, good, right?"
"Hey. We all tried to escape. It didn't work for any of us."
"I've thought many times, "Hey is this what peace feels like? And is this good enough?" If I'm being real it certainly isn't the best. So all I can try to do is make my life one I'm not trying to run from all the time."
"Mom found this internship for me. Such a slacker she said."
"I don't know. I just never know what I wanted to be. Never was good at anything."
"We're not done yet, [name]."
"Listen, listen! This is the best part. Aa-waay-oooo!"
"You're a mess, [name]."
"[name] pullin' the plug on the party before it's the last call!"
"you thinking about drinking that too?"
"Honestly, yeah. It'd probably just make me sick. Wouldn't fix anything, as much as I'd like it to."
"...You're not serious."
"Look I've entertained your sentimentality up until now, but I'm actually trying to fix things [name]!"
"...I'm sorry. I didn't mean toโ"
"...I don't think I understood the pressure you were under before. Fuck. And you tried to tell me."
"Our worst moments don't make us monsters, huh?"
"I'll get us both through this."
"You heard [name]. I wouldn't put it past them to do something extreme right now."
"What would you have done?"
"Anything. Anything. You, the crew, you're all my responsibility."
"I know you'd never give me the gun to protect myself, so the least I can do... is make sure he never gets it either."
"...The bleeding won't stop. Just try to sit still [name]."
"It's alright, [name]. Calm down."
"I though you were dumber than a can of paint, always chewing me ear off about something. Useless ray of goddamn sunshine. Not an ace student, career workhorse or force of ambition. Just a damn good kid trying his best. You coulda taught an old fool like me a lot."
"Why can't any of you give me some time to fucking think!?"
"How do you still not understand? It's over. End of the fuckin' line."
"Take care of it."
"All I ever hear is how great of a leader you are. God, it's so annoying."
"Or this can be remembered as a tragedy. Despite what must have been the best efforts of it's acclaimed captain. The crew never found. No one survived to tell the tale."
"You're standing at the top. Feet in cement. I get it now. Right?"
"[Name], t-tell me you didn't."
"I won't give up on you, even like this, I believe in you. We're going to make it through this."
"I have something to say. So shut the fuck up and listen."
"So I got a collar shirt, a mortgage. Everything that makes a good man."
"I wanted to believe I was never one set-back away from my worst self."
"I've got nothing to hide. I'll face the music. I can see myself for what I am. But you? A cowardly, selfish motherfucker and you can't even see it."
"[Name]. I'm going to fix everything. We're going to make it."
"Fuck you."
"I know what you think of this predicament of yours. Poor you. Caged and misunderstood."
"Shut up. [Name] tried his best. I did too, but he's the better man."
"You really mean all that, huh?"
"I fucked up, but I can make things right."
"You always had my back. I ended up I ended up hurting you even though I was trying to save us."
"It's like you said, together we can fix anything."
