Gargoyles Season 2 Roleplay Sentence Starters

The following quotes are all taken from the animated television show, Gargoyles. Change the pronouns, names, punctuation as it suits you. Feel free to shift the spelling to convey your character’s accent and dialect. 

LEADER OF THE PACK

I like a man who brings me weapons. You want me to take out ____, and I know how to do it. So how do we find them? They’re not in the Yellow Pages. Revenge, as they say, is a sucker’s game. When’s the last time you ripped an iron gate off its hinges? I’ll settle for tearing this jerk IN HALF! When I get through with you they’re gonna call you “ROAD KILL!” That’s no way to treat a lady! Go on then. We’re none of us getting any younger. Thanks for saving my bacon before it got fried.

METAMORPHOSIS

Look, just promise you’ll call if there’s trouble. Cross your heart. Go ahead, try something! I’d love to do that again! Fool! That wasn’t a tranquilizer dart. It was loaded with a mutagenic formula!  You don’t know anything about her! Rushing off without a plan won’t help her. Why are you stomping on my friend here? Look, I want to help you. Now it’s war, ____! You’re going down for this. I promise you! No matter what it takes! I was particularly proud of my death scene. Frankly, _____, I thought you overplayed the part.

LEGION

I just hope you handle that vacuum cleaner better than you handle a squad car. The important thing is, you’re alive. Are you sure this is a good idea? He hasn’t always been your friend. To invite him to our home, our clan… You would betray my trust, brother? Somehow he’s being tortured … from within. This isn’t a good idea. I’m best qualified to go. My memories are clouded. Why should I trust you? If you can’t trust me, then trust your heart. Why do you fight me, my love? We are destined to be together for all eternity. I will choose who I love! We’re right on top of it. Now we’ll see what this creature looks like up close.

A LIGHTHOUSE IN THE SEA OF TIME Well I can’t read and I don’t think I’m missing anything. Uh-huh. ‘Ignorance is bliss’. Right, _____? When your life’s this exciting, who needs books? This beach isn’t safe after dark.  Do you need a doctor? Come on in. I’ve got a fire going. There’s little I can offer in return, except my thanks. You understand, I don’t get any real pleasure from this. Well you’ve got courage, beastie. I’ll give you that. What you don’t have … is a prayer. Funny, something about your voice made me think you were a soldier, once. But it’s not shameful to be illiterate, _____. It’s only shameful to stay that way. I’m old, but I’m not that old. Obviously, I read about it. The name sounded phony.  The written word is all that stands between memory and oblivion. Without books as our anchors, we are cast adrift, neither teaching nor learning. They are windows on the past, mirrors on the present, and prisms reflecting all possible futures. Books are lighthouses erected in the dark sea of time.

THE MIRROR

Is this how you welcome all your guests? Yeah, I know, you’re as relieved I am that everything’s back to normal. That’s not what I was going to say– Wouldn’t it be great to be a shapeshifter? Be careful what you wish for, lad. Well, let’s just get this over with, shall we? How can I be of service, hmm? Out with it. I haven’t got all night. What is it you really want? How quaint. After all these centuries, you’re still carrying a torch. Piece of cake, given your charming personality. This just might be fun after all. My strength has never depended on brute force, _____, but on true friends. Shapeshifters, elves, fairies … you mean they’re real? You mean, you thought I was ugly? Does this look like Aladdin’s lamp? I have limits, after all. I’ll never get the hang of jumping off rooftops. I’ll always be there to catch you. You’re free.

THE SILVER FALCON

You made one mistake, _____. You messed with my partner! When someone messes with your partner. You’re supposed to do something about it. Case closed!

EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

So. Now you know my weakness. Only you would regard love as a weakness. You’ve never looked more heroic. A momentary lapse, I assure you. Come on. I’ve wanted to stroll down a city street with you for a long time. We’re genetically compatible, highly intelligent, and have the same goals. You could’ve been hurt. I should’ve been with you. Everyone’s vulnerable, _____. But it helps knowing someone cares. Oh-well, spilt milk. Let’s move on to plan B. Sorry, business. You understand. Don’t listen to him. It’s a trick! Can’t you see this is his plan D? If it fails, he’ll move on to E or F. A noble effort, _____. But another failure. Not a good night for you. You can’t believe anything he says. If _____ speaks the truth, if someone like him can love, perhaps there is some hope for this world. I trust you as far as I can throw you. I don’t have time to argue.

VOWS Take this as token of my love. Cherish it always, as I cherish my half. Upon this I pledge my heart to you forever. Why do you need all this?. I wanted it, so I took it. It’s so unlike you to attack first. I simply invited you here to talk. Our past encounters have not inspired me to trust you. I’m only attending this farce because _____ insisted. And I need to keep him as an ally. I neither know nor care why you’re here. I’m not interested in reminiscing! I’m not a creature of sorcery. I’m a visitor from the future. And I suppose you glided back in time on the wind. Believe me, I know exactly how you feel. But you cannot trust him. He’s weak. The greatest favor you can do him, would be to put him out of our misery, forever! You must know I’m right. Can’t you see I’m right? I am what you will become! I will never be like you! I do not wish to hurt you. And I do not wish to be you! Do not worry. Do not wait, or look for this catastrophe. Live in the moment. Attend the petty angers and jealousies that fill your heart. Fortify yourself with love and trust. And you need not fear this future. But most of all fulfill the vows of love you make, for they can surely save you. You have my oath. If I didn’t fear the damage you would do to the time stream, I’d gladly leave you here. But you won’t. Because you didn’t. Time travel’s funny that way. Get away from me, you sentimental fool. You may have prevented me from altering the past, but you failed too. You see, I have clear memories of your little inspirational about keeping my vows of love. I never forgot it. Obviously history is immutable.

CITY OF STONE

Relax folks, you’re safe. Don’t gush all over us, it’s embarrassing. _____, what’s going on? You know more than you’re letting on. Look closely, creature. T'was your handiwork. Done when I was but a boy. Remember? There will always be a hunter, my son. And there will always be the hunted… Take care not to become what you fight against. Vengeance begets only a further cycle of more vengeance. You fool! I should make you pay for all the lives she destroyed. Do you want vengeance or a solution? This is bigger than either of us has ever faced. We’ll have to work together to stop her. Truce? Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble. You speak treason, you old crone! You fight like a demon. You brought this on yourself, _____, I was loyal. You are are the cause of all this. You-you monster! I would rather they fear me. That’s one way to settle an argument. You’re too late. You can’t save them. No one can! I’m not here for them. I’m here for you. I want it over between us! I wear this as a reminder of your treachery. Let’s not start that again. You blame me, I blame you. Aren’t you tired of talking about it? I’m not here to talk. After this long a lifetime, I have no fear of that, and no desire to live in the kind of world you’re creating. Revenge is a dish best eaten cold, _____. And I have waited nine hundred years for this meal. No! Killing her won’t solve anything! Death never does. Death is never the answer. Life is. I’m just so tired… I will have vengeance for the betrayal of my clan, vengeance for my pain. Your thirst for vengeance has only created more sorrow. _____, your father was an evil man who deserved his fate. But you were just a boy then, so I offer you one last opportunity for forgiveness and mercy. First desertion, and now betrayal! WHY? I merely offer a sample of what you planned for me. I planned for you to govern by my side. And now because of you, my kingdom is in flames! When one dies, both die. But when one lives, both live. And thus you both shall live. Eternally linked. Sharing each other’s pain and anguish with no release until one destroys the other. Only then shall both finally perish. Together. You have learned nothing. I will still have my revenge! We have written their stories. They are our responsibility.  You know all this time, I’ve wondered why I let you creatures live. Now I know. You come in handy now and then. You’ll forgive me if I just shake your hand.

HIGH NOON

I’m no hero, I just do my job, and my job for tonight is over. All I want to do is hit the sack. Even shadows must be true to their shade. Maybe misery loves company. There are forces at war within me.

OUTFOXED

Crush all of them together and you couldn’t squeeze one iota of personal integrity from the lot! Learn to take responsibility for your own actions! And stop whining! Oh, I am trembling in my chair. You believe I am not responsible. Yet I remain your prisoner? It doesn’t matter that you were tricked, you know now that your actions inflicted grievous damage. Do you take responsibility for them or not? Well, what are you going to do? You seem distracted, having second thoughts? We’ll celebrate over breakfast. What would be the honorable thing to do? I suppose I should just turn you over to the proper authorities. I’ll spend the rest of my life as a laboratory specimen. Was my crime against you so heinous to make that an equitable punishment? We’re making progress. You finally acknowledged you committed a crime. No more excuses. I accept full responsibility for my actions. I was wrong. Integrity is never easy. It’s a daily struggle, a costly struggle. I know I owe you a great debt for the mistake I made a year ago. You’ve given me much to consider. But one thing I’m certain of: your debt to me is paid in full, a ____ for a ____, we are even. I’d probably give it to you, if you’d just stand up and ask me for it honestly! Oh, _____, you and your integrity. Asking for it wouldn’t be any fun at all. And 'fun’ is still more important to you than honor. I can’t understand that.

DOUBLE JEOPARDY

Surely you know I am not in the habit of playing childish pranks or laughing maniacally in the dark. Do ye even know how to laugh maniacally? I think I’ve created a monster.

UPGRADE

What kind of scrapheap did you crawl out of? I’m sure tired of taking punishment, and I’d love to be able to give some back. What’s the catch? And, so the game begins. What’s the matter, never seen a cybernetic jackal before? We have defeated them before. Now that I’m in charge, I’m not taking any more of your cracks! Hit the road, Sparky. I’m in charge, here! You’re not siding with this glorified toaster oven!? I find him very attractive … Well, that’s sicker than usual. What a choice: A robot who thinks he’s human, or a human who’s gone to the dogs. So what’s our next move, Boss? What’s your problem? Never a silver bullet around when you need one.

PROTECTION

Hmm … I love jalepeños. THE CAGE

Yeah, I should get my own cable TV show. Oh, me and my big mouth. I don’t know if this will work. I’m not used to working in such primitive conditions. It is the cure! It has to be! Of course it’s the cure! You must trust me! You always overplay your hand, _____. I trusted you! You turned me into a monster and I defended you–! I’m sorry it had to turn out this way. We all would’ve been more comfortable if you’d remained in the dark, but I can’t let you damage _____. He’s a bit of a bother, but his mind contains infinite possibilities. He’s the scientist - you’re just the experiment.

THE PRICE

Tell me something: Why me? I thought you might even appreciate the opportunity. Growing old terrifies you, doesn’t it? Nothing terrifies me — because nothing is beyond my ability to change. A friendly word of advice: true immortality isn’t about living forever … it’s about what you do with the time you have. When all your scheming’s done, what will be your legacy, _____? You’re still alive! It’s a miracle! Boy, the city sure is different when it snows. Not a bad life, all things considered. _____, what if there is no cure? There is a cure. There must be! Let’s just focus on protecting _____. We can’t let anything happen to him. You can’t keep me in here forever! About time you came back. Why did you kidnap me? What do you want of me? The Cauldron of Life. The legend says whoever bathes in it will live as long as the mountain stones. Ah, you wish to be immortal. If the procedure is successful, I’ll release you. Service is its own reward. I would’ve thought you knew that. There is only one other hope. We need a sorceress. _____ you know I’d do anything to help. But honestly I wouldn’t even know where to start looking. We won’t give up! Open this cage, and I’ll show you how 'useless’ I am. Death and old age have their price as well. And it’s too expensive for me. Without your sword, you’re helpless. Swordless? Maybe. Helpless? Never! What you choose to do with your life is your own affair, as long as it’s got nothing to do with me. You’re just full of surprises. No, let him go. He’s earned it. He’s forgotten more things than we’ll ever know. I’m sorry, _____. I wish it hadn’t turned out this way. I was so close to finding out if the legend was true. Now there’s no one to test it on.

AVALON

You mean we went to all that trouble to get the _____, and now I can’t even take it with me?! What am I supposed to do? Eat it? What is time to an immortal?

KINGDOM

The weak are to be protected, not exploited. Who died and made you king? If you don’t know anything, why were you shooting at us? Do I really need an excuse to have a good time in my own home?

MONSTERS

They say a man’s home is his castle, and what fun would a castle be without a dungeon? Your idea of fun would give Frankenstein nightmares. If it gets any more saccharine in there, I’m going to put a finger down my throat.

GRIEF

I’d sure like to know how you got here, but I’m programmed to shoot first and ask questions later. I demand reparation! My _____ was cruelly and unfairly taken from me! On the contrary, death is the ultimate fairness. Rich and poor, young and old - all are equal in death.

EYE OF THE STORM

It seems I’m out of practice dealing directly with mortals. It seems I am unaccustomed to dealing with a god …. or being one.

SENTINEL

She guards us in daylight, and forgets to rest herself. How did I end up here? Do you often go wandering about at night? Are you saying you don’t remember your own name? I can’t seem to remember anything. I feel lucky I know how to talk. Yeah well, I guess I could use a ride… Yeah, I’m jumping for joy here. Get your claws off me! You might want to reconsider your request. Ohhh! We’re gonna die! I will not let anything harm you. You win. I’ll behave … at least while we’re this high up. I cannot believe you pulled the trigger on me. Just shut up and land. Stop it! Stop it! I just don’t remember! I’m not even sure I want to remember! Someone has done this to you. I swear they will pay! How many ways can I say it? We mean you no harm. On the contrary, I understand your words, I simply do not believe them.

CLOUD FATHERS

This trough is filled with acid. In about ten minutes it’s going to do a very nasty job on that soil carving, not to mention your rugged good looks. It’s my first real stab at clichéd villainy. How am I doing? I should sue you for trademark infringement.

FUTURE TENSE

Time is like a river, correcting its courses against any change. History cannot be changed. You will not win! What are you going to do? Bite my kneecaps off? THE GATHERING

The humans will awaken in the morning and this will seem naught but a midsummer night’s dream. The future is not written yet. THE RECKONING

He’s a fool, but he may be useful.

POSSESSION

Hey, I live for subterfuge! Do you know that Easter Island statues were modeled after space aliens? I do not want escape, I want vengeance! There’s no such thing as ‘a little’ vengeance.

Santa Clarita Diet Roleplay Sentence Starters: Season 2

The following starters are all taken from Season 2 of the Netflix television show Santa Clarita Diet. Change the pronouns, names, punctuation as it suits you. Feel free to shift the spelling to convey your character’s accent and dialect. Includes phrases good for plots involving zombies, murder, and other wholesome family content.

Content warning for: foul language, sex, murder, death, cannibalism, body horror, vomiting & other bodily functions. Definitely a NSFW meme.

Why should I help you when you don’t even treat me like a human being?

She has an intensity I love, but having to find human flesh for her to eat … that’s been hard.

We’re realtors so killing people and stuffing them into freezers doesn’t come naturally.

Are you sure it has to be Serbian bile to make the serum?

I feel like I’m blowing this!

And I know you’re worried I’m gonna go out there and kill somebody, but think about all the people I haven’t killed. Literally everyone in the world except three people.

There’s no way she can get out of those chains, right? Oh what am I doing? Nobody asks that and lives.

I got upset and trashed someone’s house.

Why do they tease us with such tiny amounts of juice? Who wins this game?!

We don’t fix anyone. We just put Band-aids on people and toss them back, alone, into a cold, cripplingly indifferent society.

God, what are you into?

Our kitchen looks like the inside of a shark.

Well, I admit it — it went on a little longer than necessary. And then ten minutes after that.

I took samples of her tar-blood-goo.

Huh, look at that. Not a drop of blood on my pepper mill.

If you saw it, you would not know how to process it.

Do you want the cookies?

I helped someone. Made me feel better about myself.

I wanted to make sure you weren’t overwhelmed.

Sometimes I do feel overwhelmed.

There’s just so much happening right now. And I don’t always know the right thing to do.

We all just do the best we can.

I know, I read your Yelp review.

Just … don’t give up on me.

I lost you once. That was enough.

Don’t eat me.

So, maybe we can hang out sometime.

Okay! You’re awake!

Anyway! I didn’t want you to wake up and find me gone and worry.

You were chasing rabbits?

You know what’s cool? I’m never surprised anymore.

I feel like channeling my bloodlust is key to preventing something like last night’s oopsie.

Look at me, I’m becoming a morning person.

I just think you should keep a low profile until we know what’s going on.

Don’t come at me with that weak tea.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

We get rid of one cop and now you bring another cop into our lives?

We can’t solve all our problems with murder.

Last night I saw you swallow a man’s tongue like an oyster.

Don’t you think it’s ridiculous for us to keep lying to each other?

Before you kill me, I do have one last request.

The only reason it’s spooky down here is because you’re down here. We could put you in a garden of lollipops and it would still be spooky.

I think at best, we’re in a moral grey area.

I would love nothing more than to have a date night with you.

I also haven’t written a restaurant review for Yelp in a long time, and my followers rely on me. Elite status is a privilege and a burden.

Let’s not make everyone’s problems our problems. People get ripped to pieces all the time.

We have a hummingbird feeder and we kill people. I’m just saying, you can’t always judge a person by their aviary accessories.

Wow, look at those bookshelves.

God, I respect a man who’s unafraid to embrace the past.

Are you okay? You seem a little hostile.

We talked about this, honey. We can’t keep murdering people impulsively.

Okay remember this isn’t a cure; it just arrests your symptoms.

We had some fun, but I’m kind of a loner.

I used to be high-strung and judgy like you. You need to relax.

We’ve got a lot on our plate. I don’t wanna be opening up a finishing school for the undead.

Is he a knight that fights the undead or is he an undead knight?

He’s little, so if he tries to run, I can catch him. Then I’ll do something small but memorable to his legs so he won’t try it again.

Gonna eat this bastard tits to teeth.

Killing people is hard. I used to think that was a good thing.

You’re not gonna pretend you’re a health inspector, are you?

We have to get everything incriminating out of the house.

It’s kind of ironic. The more care you put into a murder, the harsher society judges you.

‘I’m sorry, but —’ is not an apology.

Yeah, let’s get them out of here. Then go home and read up on moral relativism.

I’m an outstanding dancer.

I promise I’ll be the coward you want me to be.

I’m a vegan, not a monster.

Weird way of saying that, but okay.

I just wanna eat danish with you. Why can’t we eat danish together?

I love the hair, by the way. You look like an attainable Jessica Rabbit.

You’re stress-eating yourself!

I don’t want to stop living just because I’m undead!

No loose ends. I learned that from you. Mostly from your mistakes.

Yes, we’re not good at murder. I happen to think that’s a positive quality.

And what I find most upsetting is that you don’t seem to have any remorse.

As the great juggler Francisco Garibaldi once said, ‘when there’s fear in your heart and knives in the air, the wise juggler focuses on but a single blade.’

Whoa, buddy, there’s a lot to unpack there.

How would you like it if I put my foot so far up your perfect little ass that you won’t find it again until you shit it out on Christmas morning?

Well, we should check inside and see if I strung up anyone’s entrails like Christmas lights. I’ve been dreaming about that lately. I think I’m excited for the holidays.

So many people play it safe, but not you.

You know who else likes hiking and nature? Well-known monster, Bigfoot.

Just because one monster does those things doesn’t mean he gets to own them.

Yeah, well, spoiler alert: this does end with his torso in our freezer.

There’s always time to respect the differences that make us great.

We’ve been friends a long time. I know something’s been going on with you lately. Why don’t you tell me what it is?

Wow, you will never work in corporate PR.

It’s just that when it comes to being clandestine, spelling dirty words in alphabet soup is kind of the edge of my comfort zone.

So before this ends, I want to know that I was here, that I existed. I need to make a mark.

I really admire your commitment and steely resolve, but I just wish you didn’t have any of it.

He’s a homicide detective and we’re homicide enthusiasts — it’s not a good match.

I believe I serve God by bringing evildoers to justice.

I’m gonna throw up.

You’re not gonna shoot me.

I will shoot you.

Okay, you shot me. It’s your training. I’m not mad,

I died and then I came back to life.

So … you’ve risen from the dead? And you’re doing God’s work by ridding the world of evildoers? Is that what you’re saying?

This makes me a little uncomfortable.

Wes Craven’s Cursed (2005) Roleplay Sentence Starters

The following starters are all taken from the 2005 body horror comedy Cursed. Change the pronouns, names, punctuation as it suits you. Feel free to shift the spelling to convey your character’s accent and dialect. Good for plots involving monsters keen on literally tearing your life apart … and also werewolves.

Content warning for: foul language, gaslighting, sex, murder, death, body horror & other catastrophes. Definitely a NSFW meme.

I'm not obsessed, I'm just highly interested.

Come on, let's settle this.

Well, anyways, whatever you see, just say 'Forget his ass'.

I see blood. So much blood.

It's not the guy. It's ... it's the beast you should fear.

Beware the moon.

It feeds in the moonlight.

You can't tell people this shit.

Where did you come from?

You're the dodgeball crotch target. You should really wear a cup.

What's with the Make-A-Wish charity case?

We're not even close to finished.

Kiss me again.

I haven't seen you in days. I wanted to make sure you were still alive.

It's a medieval torture device. Which could actually be fun later.

All I wanna do is crawl into bed and disappear for three days.

I just ... I need some time and some space.

I waited over an hour for you.

Find my cellphone. Call for help.

Help me, please!

I'm coming.

Please just get me out of here, I'm stuck.

Can you feel your legs?

All right, listen, there's been a wreck.

Just hold on a few more minutes.

Wait, can you be still for a second?

You try flipping your car down a mountain and then being fucking still.

I hope you guys have insurance.

Shit, look at your arm.

Let me get this straight. It took a bite out of your arm, but you didn't see it at all?

It was a wolf, but bigger. It was like a monster wolf.

What kind of an animal could do that?

That's enough with the biting.

Don't you wanna talk about what happened tonight?

Look, I know you're mad at me, but I didn't see what you saw.

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

I found the extra key under the mat.

I just, I feel so terrible about how we left things tonight.

I'm scared. I never expected to meet a woman like you.

You're the only good thing that's happened in my life in a long time.

I'm terrified, because all the good things keep going away.

I'm not going anywhere.

How are you doing? Did you sleep okay?

I woke up in the bushes.

Excuse me for trying to make conversation.

Okay, so what would a werewolf be doing in LA? Shouldn't it be off in the countryside

somewhere, terrorizing helpless maidens?

Maybe it's a hip werewolf; maidens come here with the perfectly implanted breasts.

Hey, I was bitten by a werewolf. If that's not good enough for a sick day...

You look different today, saucy. I like it.

I didn't recognize you with your hair down.

I'm only saying this because I care.

What a piece of work.

I just know he's not the only guy in town.

What smells so good?

The blood freaking you out?

Did you just attempt a confrontation?

What is this? Come as your favorite endangered species?

We've only been seeing each other a couple of months, you need your space. I get it, It's fine.

Please don't do that. Don't try to make everything okay when it's not.

That was my MO for a long time. When anything would get too close or too serious. I would just run away.

Be careful with this one. He's trouble.

I'm gonna take a cue from you and disappear for a few days.

I'm just reading up on how you kill a werewolf.

It might not be such a bad deal. Think about it: increased strength, heightened senses, an unnatural sexual allure.

Don't we have enough problems? Do you really wanna add this one to the list?

It's the mark of the beast.

It's a creepy coincidence.

This is some pretty freaky shit. Admit it.

I'm not complaining, I think you look hot.

You’re in danger. It will come for you.

Don't let this getup fool you, I'm not a joke.

Why are you talking to me?

You bear the markings of the beast.

Look, I'm not trying to freak you out, but you've been infected. You're cursed.

You've got to sever the line of the beast. It's the only way to break the curse.

The beast is human too. Don't forget that. (And it's closer to you than you think.)

Shouldn't you psychically know when you're annoying someone?

Oh, you are asking for it, Abercrombie.

I'm just having a really bad day.

I sure hope not or I'm in big trouble.

Yeah, l ... I kind of need someone to talk to. Is that okay?

Whatever it was bit me and now things have been happening to me. Things I can't explain.

I mean, I know enough to know that it's a who, not a what, so it could be pissed off. It may want to finish what it started.

I don't want to discuss this, I've been cursed, something bad is gonna happen.

This is hard for me. Don't be like this.

You don't have to pretend anymore. Not with me.

No, it's part of the curse. I'm appealing. I have an unnatural sexual allure.

You haven't been returning my calls.

You can feel the changes, can't you?

I believe you, okay? I'd believe anything at this point.

Do you have any idea who I had to blow to get you in here tonight?

Who do I have to blow to get out of here?

I know how to control it.

I've learned to live with something terrible. Just like you.

We're not that different.

We don't have time for this.

There's an animal on the loose. It could be anywhere.

Shit, we can't get out. We're fucked.

There should be doors. Look for a door.

Just for the record, I didn't ask for this.

Men, They're all beasts.

The funny thing is, I never saw you as a threat. I find you rather depressing myself.

Why do men always go for the tortured ones? And you … You get one taste of blood and you freak out.

I guess there's no such thing as safe sex with a werewolf.

It doesn't have to be like this for you, There are ways for you to control it.

Nibbling on coyotes in the desert? No thanks.

I'm having too much fun eliminating the competition.

I am not gonna kill her, I promise. I'm just gonna rip her to shreds and let her choke on her own blood. Then … maybe I'll eat her.

You have to kill me first.

Her brain's on the floor. That should do it.

You have to help me stop it.

I can teach you how to live with this. And we have years to figure it out.

So that's your answer? We live happily ever after?

Tell me how to get rid of it. Tell me how!

The only way you can break the curse is for the one who started it all to die. And that’s me. I'm not ready to die just yet.

These heightened senses are a kick, huh? No hard feelings, buddy. I'll make it as quick as possible.

You're a monster.

I should've known you couldn't handle this. You're too weak to think you could survive it. It only makes you stronger. But you're too stupid, too timid.

It comes and goes at first. I probably should've told you that.

Unfortunately now you both have to die.

You were a little off on that whole 'how to break the curse' thing.

Grabbers (2012) Roleplay Sentence Starters

The following starters are all taken from the 2012 horror comedy Grabbers. Change the pronouns, names, punctuation as it suits you. Feel free to shift the spelling to convey your character’s accent and dialect.

Content warning for: alcohol, alcoholism, intoxication, foul language, sex, murder, death & other catastrophes. Definitely a NSFW meme.

You’re going to ride a horse while intoxicated?

The only people that know about this are us. It's gotta stay that way, or we'll have a panic on our hands.

The horse is sober.

He was mauled in some way by some ... animal or ... something. I dunno. A tiger?

A bird never flew on one wing.

I've never seen anything like it before. It's a completely foreign species. I can't even begin to originate or class it.

You're throwing a party?

The whole world is drowning, and we have don't have the gills for it.

If you were to know what I know, you'd want to know.

Right, so, between you and me, I caught meself a sea monster today. Swear to God, may he strike me down. You don't believe me?

If you want, I'll find her, and I'll sort her out for you.

I was hoping it'll show us some sort of pattern.

Help us barricade the door!

It is beyond mystifying.

Always chasing, always running.

We can't put that on our report.

A toast, from an alcoholic to a workaholic.

I’m good to no one when I drink.

'Tis no feckin' lobster!

Get away from him, you cuuuuuunt!

Your floor is broken.

Waste of whiskey.

What’s that in its mouth?

Now whatever it is, it's gonna have to wait till the morning, all right!

I’ve never even been drunk.

You're some character, you know that? A real character.

As flattering as it is to hear a beautiful drunk slurrin' her feelings for me, now's not the time.

It's always the quiet places where the mad shit happens.

All this thing needs to survive is blood and water.

There goes the scientific discovery of our time.

You’re not putting this on eBay.

Mother Nature's a mysterious woman, isn't she?

Oh, you get hunches now?

It's trying to fuck me face!

You believe in coincidences?

Now look, the tide's coming in.

Don’t climb on the table!

Could we not just spray some whiskey in its mouth.

Right, sir, I've had enough of your bollocks!

So, another hour and this place will be underwater.

You’re too hard on yourself.

I take pride in my work.

You’re looking in the wrong place, Columbo.

Would you move your ass!

Oh, relax. You'll give yourself angina.

So there's no need to panic, we're safe up here. And let's stay away from the windows.

You're something else, you know that?

Stop talking to yourself, it's very distracting.

It's just an animal. It doesn't want to hurt you.

You bring me someone with a head cold or a headache, then I could do something. But you bring me just a head, then you’re taking the piss.

What, am I going to run across stuff like this every day of the week?

You gave me that look.

Hm, it's extraordinary. Well done, you.

When this is over, we need to talk.

You unnatural idiot. You are what could kill us.

All right, weapons. What have we got?

I have dibs on the flare gun.

Guard eat exit and don’t let anyone out!

I have to go and wizz.

I feel like I’ve known you for years, you know?
