AS SAID BY GALE DEKARIOS
* assorted dialogue from baldur's gate 3
is that... is that truly you? i thought i might never see you again.
i love you, more than i've ever loved anyone. and you've proven your love for me in more ways than even the greatest mathematicians would dare to count.
you licked a dead spider. dead spider. you licked it. that is something that happened.
i think we need to get you some air and perhaps have a long talk about unresolved childhood issues.
stop licking the damn thing!
i see the art of eloquence is alive and well.
i'm awed, impressed, and a little bit scared of you right now.
nothing like a brisk stroll through the forest to invigorate the spirit.
i've never wanted to kiss you more than i do now.
right now, i need nothing more than a kiss.
tell me you feel the same way. tell me you want what i want. please.
you really would prefer me as i am?
you put the stars to shame.
let's sit here another while - i want to drink you in.
you led me down this path.
i don't know myself anymore.
all this... it's not who i am. around you, i'm not who i want to be.
you really are absolutely heartless, aren't you?
i was hoping you'd spare me a moment.
this seems as good a time as any for me to stop babbling on.
i think you're rather wonderful. and that's not a word i waste on anyone unworthy of it.
i like that about you. it's one of your rarer qualities.
i promise we'll make it work, if you'll have me.
what are you doing? stand back! now!
i thought i meant more to you than a sacrificial lamb. clearly i was mistaken.
you've brought me right where i need to be. i have no right to ask more of you.
you're plotting something, aren't you?
i'm telling you, this is a mistake.
don't worry too much. a handful of powerful spells go a long way.
hold on! it's not too late to settle this without bloodshed.
mercy is not your strong suit, is it?
well... so much for my previous sentiment.
the choice is yours. there's really no good decision to be made here.
i'll be delighted to see you try... from a safe distance.
there has to be a way to stop this thing!
i have no desire to end your life. you know that.
i see the glint in your eyes. you've a strategy in mind. the same one as me, i'd wager.
well, now that we know what it is, i suggest we leave it well alone.
better be careful around here.
i'll miss you, friend. your companionship has been quite the education.
i won't lie. i miss our group.
don't worry, i'll handle matters from here.
we must discuss it privately.
have you lost your wits? you must not do this!
we can't afford to let that happen.
they say madness and genius are separated by but a hair's breadth. perhaps the same is true of madness and stupidity.
you make me sound like some preening peacock.
i'm taking notes. making observations.
you're adorable even when you're teasing me.
you know what, i think i've clearly had far too much wine. and you've had nowhere near enough.
don't worry about me. i'm quite content to enjoy the party from here.
don't let me drag you away.
that, my friend, must remain a secret.
i do hope you know what you're doing.
might be the wine talking.
i'm sorry it had to come to this.
i'm going to bed. perhaps this was all a mistake.
careful. you don't know what i'm about to ask.
kill me, and i'll destroy the city anyway.
stay with me a while, will you?
i'm many things, but coy's not one of them.
listen, i need to speak to you.
i might need you to be more specific.
i regret many things in life.
we all have our burdens, one way or the other.
i am as honored as i am enamored.
i am not the only one who longs for you... yet you chose me.
my time is yours. what do you need?
tell me, what can i do for you?
