send one for my muse's reaction!
“I know you think you got a handle on what this is gonna be.” “Do you remember our last conversation, [name]?” “Have I done something wrong?“ “There’s something different about you. About the way you think.“ “The hosts are suppose to stick to their scripts. This isn’t a minor improvisation.” “Good morning, [name]. Bring yourself back online.” “I brought you a gift. I used to read… This story to my son at night. I thought you might enjoy it.” “Dear, dear, How queer everything is today. And yesterday, things went on just as usual. I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night.” “I guess people like to read about the things that they want the most and experience the least.” “Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is… Who in the world am I?” “Morning, cowboy.“ “You really ought to talk to someone about your poster, [name]. That likeness is a crime in itself.” “Sure I can't tempt you inside? Just to express my gratitude.” “I thought you said we couldn’t get shot.” “Yeah, well, we can’t get killed. Wouldn’t be much of a game if they can’t shoot back.” “Then stay here. I want a little adventure.“ “I got a late start this morning. Didn’t get much sleep last night.” “Forgive me if I’m not sympathetic.” “I specifically asked you about whether [name] was going to be a problem, and you assured me he wasn’t.” “Don’t you talk to me that way.” “Do you see that? He’s talking to someone.“ “Go. Handle the stray. Do something that’s actually in your job description.” “I’ll do a little more digging and get our friend here back upstairs.” “You know, if you wanted to play cowboy, you could’ve just used your employee discount.” “Proposing to engage me in a gun battle?” “Well, I’d challenge you to a fistfight, but the way I heard it, you only like to tussle with working women.” “Why are we going to handcuff a dead man?” “Oh, you’re new. Not much of a rind on you. I’ll give you a discount.“ “Don’t mind me. Just trying to look chivalrous.” “You gonna tell me where you been?” “You know if I could stay right here with you, I would.” “What if I don’t want to stay here? It’s just sometimes I feel like. The world out there is calling me… Whispering, ‘there’s something more.’“ “You’ve traveled all over these parts. Isn’t there anywhere we could go?” “Well, there is a place I heard about down south… Where the mountains meet the sea. They say the water's so pure there, It’ll wash the past clean off you and you can start again.” “’Someday’ sounds a lot like the thing people say. When they actually mean ‘never.’ Let’s not go someday, [name]. Let’s go now.” “Before I met you, [name], I was a different man. And I got some reckoning to do before I can deserve someone like you. But I’m close. I’m close to making things right. And someday soon, we will have the life we’ve both been dreaming of.” “The coward dies a thousand deaths. The valiant taste of death but once.” “You look upon the face of true evil, you ain’t liable to forget.“ “Some hands weren’t meant to pull a trigger. Perhaps it’s for the best.” “You have to leave again, don’t you?” “You know if I could stay right here with you, I would.” “Promise me you’ll come back.” “I didn’t sign up for this crazy shit. I told you we should’ve done the riverboat thing, man.” “What, are you gali-fucking-leo?” “With due respect, sir, I’m not sure you’ve told me the entire truth about this situation.” “I suppose I’m glad for you. At least you have a way of forgetting.” “This pain… It’s all I have left of him.” “See? This is why I hide behind sarcasm.” “Imagine there are two versions of yourself… One that feels these things and asks these questions, and one that’s safe. Which would you rather be?“ “I’m sorry. I’m trying, but I still don’t understand. There aren't two versions of me. There’s only one. And I think when I discover who I am, I’ll be free.“ “You should be getting back, [name], before someone misses you.”
