like life: stories.

dialogue prompts from like life: stories by lorrie moore.

where have you been?

happy? more than happy. we’re talking delirious.

everyone wants to sit next to you on the bus.

do you really love me?

i’m not going to hurt you.

when tenderness ends, there’s a lull before hatred.

are you waiting for someone?

are you coming with me?

i can wait for you only so long.

tell me something wonderful.

is this an awkward time?

i don’t know how to tell you these things.

can i ask you yes or no questions?

have a bad dream?

what a family you have!

do you feel alright?

i think i liked myself better before i knew that.

you seem so happy.

what’s in the box?

to our little lives on the prairie.

i think i’m too old for fun.

i didn’t know how to tell you.

what’s your favorite joke?

i’m not friendly, by nature.

you’re a stack of apologies.

you are my only friend.

i want to kiss you now.

have you ever been married?

marriage is the death you want to die.

i try not to ask too many things.

how will anyone ever get close to you?

let’s talk about music or death. why do we always have to talk about love?

you know, it’s okay to not be a nice person.

“For three hours. For three hours you got me standing here.”

“I told you, I’m not mad. I’m indifferent, okay?”

“You don’t respect yourself, so I know you don’t respect me. I respect you. I’m just your babysitter. So, when you need your diaper changed, let me know and I’ll get you a bottle, okay?”

“Is it better to be feared or respected? I say, is it too much to ask for both?”

“I couldn’t sleep ‘til I found out how it went. How’d it go?”

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”

“What the hell did you do to me?”

“Do you understand me? Do as I do.”

“Is this the last act of defiance of the great [first & last name]? Or are you going to do something about it?”

“I don’t have anyone but you.”

“[Name], I’ve been called many things. ‘Nostalgic’ is not one of them.”

“Are you talking about the night that we danced and went up on the roof, and then you went downstairs to get me a drink, and you left me there, by myself? Is that the night you’re talking about?”

“Just stick to the cards, [man].”
