“Luck has nothing to do with it.”
“I only worked there because I wanted to make sure I could get out.”
“Drink this. It will help you sleep as it helped some of the others sleep. No dreams.”
“I heard you were shot. Do you need my help with your hair? Or your shoes?”
“I wouldn’t blame you for being curious.”
“How will we conduct ourselves in this time of conflict as people who pursue peace?”
“They don’t care about efficiency, they care about agreement.”
“It makes them care, it makes them kind. I think that’s beautiful.”
“I don’t trust anyone anymore.”
“I’m a naturally curious person. Don’t change the subject.”
“You’re nothing but an arrogant, lying piece of garbage.”
“We’re all right, you know. You and me. Okay?”
“Nothing else is alright. But we are.”
“Sleep, I’ll fight the bad dreams off if they come to get you.”
“It’s not like you’re particularly stable these days.”
“Give it to me, or so help me, I will kill you in your sleep.”
“Peace. Yes, I’m sure it will be very peaceful when we are all either dead or cowering in submission under the threat of mind control or stuck in an endless simulation.”
“Put the gun down. I have very good aim, and I’m betting that you don’t.”
“I helped you when no one else would, remember?”
“Choices can be made again.”
“I am not in the mood for guessing.”
“Don’t you dare try to apologize. This is not something you can bandage with a word or two and some hugging.”
“I am his family. I am permanent. You are only temporary.”
“I’m sorry, but we were instructed to arrest you upon your arrival.”
“Can you please calm down? You’re making me nervous.”
“Because I realized that one of us would have to kill the other, and I didn’t want to kill him.”
“I shot him, while he was under the simulation. I killed him. He was going to kill me, but I killed him. My friend.”
“So I figured, if I don’t look so much like a girl, maybe they won’t look at me that way.”
“I think you could have used being underestimated to your advantage.”
“You don’t always have to smack people in the face with how strong you are.”
“We can’t just kill everyone.”
“No people means no one left to create prosperous conditions.”
“It’s not your job to ask questions.”
“We’ll decide which ones to kill and which ones to bring back later.”
“There’s a staircase about three yards away. I’ll tell you when no one is watching, and then you have to run, understand?”
“I don’t understand how you could possibly be stupid enough to come up here with no gun.”
“What’s the matter? Afraid of a little girl?”
“I’m not stupid. That little-girl act may have worked on me before, but it wont work again.”
“You’re the best attack dog they’ve got. Which is why I’m sure you’ll be put down soon enough.”
“The rest of you are to be executed.”
“You can put the knife down now.”
“I might throw up if I have to answer that one more time.”
“I don’t have a bullet in my head, do I? So I’m good.”
“Your jaw is so swollen you look like you have a wad of food in your cheek.”
“I’m not allowed to ask if you’re okay?”
“What makes you think I didn’t have a gun?”
“It’s not brave, choosing the position you were in yesterday. It’s beyond stupid - it’s suicidal. Don’t you have any regard for your own life?”
“Killing you is not the worst thing they can do to you.”
“I don’t want to stop you, I want you to stop yourself.”
“Would you like me to tell you your crimes? Or would you like to list them yourself?”
“We have the right to execute you.”
“We don’t take requests from criminals.”
“So you can live with the guilt of knowing you usurped me and shot me in the head.”
“There wont be any guilt.”
“They promised safety to anyone who wants it.”
“This is not a negotiation. It is a warning.”
“Everyone two days until one of you delivers yourself to headquarters, this will happen again.”
“I’m not really in the mood to feel more guilt right now. So go away, please.”
“You told me you had to do it, or he would have shot you, and I didn’t believe you. I believe you now, and… I’m going to forgive you.”
“You’ll have to do better than that.”
“Get up. We have to run.”
“Spare me your blubbering, okay?”
“Sometimes, personality has nothing to do with a person’s choice.”
“I don’t mean to be insensitive.”
“You are to be a clean slate. But do not forget us.”
“There is much I am happy to forget.”
