PROMPTS FOR CHECK INS *  assorted dialogue for checking with someone to see if they're okay, find out what's going on, etc etc., adjust as necessary

do you have everything you need for your trip?

how have you been since i last saw you?

pretty sure you never told me what happened.

while you're doing that, why don't you fill me in?

you're the only person that cares to ask how i am.

when's the last time you slept?

i won't tell a soul if you tell me what happened.

i just want to make sure you're okay.

i haven't spoken to you in quite some time.

could you give me a rundown of what happened?

i'd like to know what's going on.

what am i walking into?

it's not as bad as it looks.

you can trust me with the truth.

let me take a look at your injury.

you haven't slept in days. i can tell.

thank you for checking on me.

are you feeling better than you were the last time i saw you?

i'm just checking on you.

not trying to bug you. just wanted to know what's going on.

at least fill me in before you go.

walk me through what we're dealing with.

i hear you've got a plan?

do you need anything?

you can tell me anything.

i'll live.

let me grab you something to drink.

thank you for asking how i am.

when's the last time you ate?

that wound doesn't look too good.

would you relax for a second? i'm just checking on you.

that was a lie. try again and tell me the truth this time.

you're forgetting how well i know you.

you can't lie to me. i know all your tells.

stop bullshitting me and tell me what's really going on.

what are you hiding from me?

keep talking. i want to hear everything.

to tell you the truth, i'm struggling a bit here.

i think i deserve some honesty here.

i just want to check on you.

i'll come by in an hour and see how you're doing.

while i'm gone, [name] will be by to check on you.

can you let me care about you for two seconds?

you're terrible at keeping secrets from me.

you seem upset. what happened?

how long have you been dealing with this?

thanks for stopping by.

this sounds a lot worse than i expected.

you've been dealing with this alone, haven't you?

i've told you everything i know.

let me cook for you at least.

you look half-starved.

are you cold? why are you shaking?

there's more to the story that you're not saying.

why do you keep evading my questions?

that's not all there is, right?

so that's what they've been hiding.

thank you for being honest with me.

PROMPTS FOR DRAMATIC REUNIONS *  a collection of dialogue for reuniting with the ones you love

i waited so long.

hey! it's me! remember me?

i never gave up hope that i'd see you again.

i can't stand the distance between us.

you came back.

quickly! get inside!

i'm sorry. i've moved on.

next time, take me with you.

this was a mistake, coming back here.

sorry for that. i'm just so excited to see you.

i kept asking around, but no one knew where you went.

after all this time... here you are.

don't ever do that again.

i never forgave you for leaving.

i must be dreaming.

just wait until we're alone...

things are different now.

you shouldn't have come back here.

i won't leave again. i promise.

when i saw this, it made me think of you. consider it a gift.

you're as beautiful as the day i last saw you.

i can barely live without you.

it's been way too long.

is that a ring on your finger? when did that happen?

i can't believe you're alive.

i saved every letter you sent me.

well what are you waiting for? get over here!

where have you been? i've been looking for you.

i never thought i'd see you again.

how are you here? aren't you supposed to be somewhere else?

is this real? is it really you?

and the others? what happened to them?

can i hug you?

can i kiss you?

you've been gone for so long.

you're still wearing it? after all this time?

i... i saw you die.

don't you recognize me?

when they said you came back, i didn't believe them.

how long have you been here?

why are you limping?

i waited for you all this time, and you never showed.

nobody knew where you ran off to.

your hair was shorter when i last saw you.

you've changed.

i saw you in my dreams every night.

you're back. i can finally breathe again.

do i look the same as you remember me?

sorry, but you look... familiar.

i almost didn't recognize you!

let me get a good look at you.

i missed this place.

what's happened since i left? did i miss anything?

i missed you. i missed you so much.

have you been looking for me?

they told me you died.

i remember our last night as if it were yesterday.

just look at me for a second.

hurry inside. i'll tend to your wounds.

why did you leave?

you never should have left.

i trusted you to come back.

we should talk. things have changed since you left.

let me take in the moment.

you're here! right in front of me!

i thought you were a ghost.

you have no idea how hard it was to watch you go.

i needed some time away.

it wasn't easy, but i made it back.

we lost some friends along the way.

did you ever get my letters?

i don't think we're welcome here any longer.

that's no way to treat your best friend!

i woke up, and you were gone.

why didn't you take me with you?

is that a new scar?

come back to me.

don't leave my arms again.

PROMPTS FROM HERCULES *  assorted dialogue from the 1997 film, adjust as necessary

what... are... those?

a true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the size of his heart.

i thought they looked kinda dashing.

you know how men are. they think no means yes and get lost means take me, i'm yours.

aren't you a damsel in distress?

i need your help.

i can handle this. have a nice day.

all i know is, you're the most amazing person with weak ankles i've ever met.

when i'm with you, i don't feel so... alone.

sometimes it's better to be alone. nobody can hurt you.

he's not gonna be happy when he gets outta there.

you know, when i was a kid, i would have given anything to be exactly like everybody else.

you're not like that.

if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.

how do you know what i'm like?

fine work, my boy!

you've done it! you're a true hero.

you were willing to give your life to rescue this young woman.

look, it wasn't my fault.

why does that name ring a bell?

you finally made it.

you know, a little dark, a little gloomy. and, as always, hey, full of dead people. what are you gonna do?

my friends call me [name]. at least, they would if i had any friends.

[name], why did you... you didn't have to...

people do crazy things when they're in love.

will you forget the head-slicing thing?

don't be such a stiff.

join the celebration!

can't. love to, but can't.

i'm a big tough girl. i tie my own sandals and everything.

i'm sorry. you mind running that by me again?

read my lips. forget it.

of course he's real.

i'm afraid being famous isn't the same as being a true hero.

look inside your heart.

looks like your game's over.

don't even go there.

i've done my part.

i need somebody who can handle him as a man.

look, i learned my lesson, okay?

is there a downside to this?

thanks for everything. it's been a real slice.

lighten up, dude.

we'll take it from here, darling.

you can't do this to me, you can't...

dreams are for rookies.

a guy can only take so much disappointment.

are you always this articulate?

you ought to slow down.

how sentimental.

pardon me. it seems to me that what you folks need is a hero.

how do you kill a god?

i don't care. i'm not going to help you hurt him.

this one is different.

the point is, i love her.

we were so close.

it was tragic. we lost everything in the fire.

you might feel just a little queasy. it's kinda natural.

it looks better that way.

he won't listen to me.

i know what i did was wrong, but this isn't about me. it's about him. if you don't help him now, he'll die.

use your head!

you  can  stay  here,  as  long  as  you  need.

today  feels  like  a  quiet  kind  of  day.

let  me  pull  the  cookies  out  of  the  oven.

your  hands  are  freezing.

you  fell  asleep  on  the  couch  again.

i'll  be  here  when  you  wake  up.

you  can  tell  me,  or  we  can  just  sit  here.

i  have  no  idea  what's  in  this  but  it  tastes  good.

i  needed  this.

it's  chilly  out  there.  stay  a  little  longer.

i  didn't  make  any  plans  today.  just  this.

PROMPTS FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN'T USED TO KINDNESS *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

what are you doing?

i can handle that myself, you know.

you didn't have to go out of your way to take care of me.

i'm not used to this. this caring thing.

thank you. don't ever do that again.

i thought you hated me, to be honest.

i didn't ask you to love me!

no one's ever actually just... sat down and listened to me.

i didn't think people like you existed.

is this normal for you? going out of your way like this?

i told you i had it handled. you didn't have to bother.

i... should probably thank you for that.

i don't know what to say. this has never happened before.

wait, that's mine. you fixed it?

you did all of this... for me?

that was the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me.

i'm kinda at a loss for words.

i wasn't expecting this from you.

you did all this for me?

i had it under control.

when did this happen?

how long were you planning this?

i'm not sure what to say. i'm not used to this.

i owe you one.

that was... very kind of you. thank you.

i'm just not used to people going out of their way to help me.

usually people just look the other way, but you actually care.

this is weird. is this what caring about someone feels like?

i could have handled it.

this must have taken you forever to arrange. and you did it all for me?

it would be easier in the long run if we went our separate ways.

i hate being in other peoples' debts.

i didn't want this to happen.

people around me don't last very long.

i feel like i'm screaming and screaming and no one hears me.

i'm in your debt.

how did you find that? i lost that ages ago.

you actually... listened to me?

no one's ever paid attention.

no one's ever put that much time in effort into something for me.

when did i say that?

i didn't ask you to care about me!

i'm easily missed. people don't pay attention to me.

i'm invisible most of the time.

it's easier for people to look the other way.

do you do this often? help people?

i'm surprised you're still here.

if you're expecting something in return, forget about it.

you came back?

why do you care about me so much?

i'm a lost cause. you should just forget about me.

what's the use? there's no point.

i don't even celebrate my birthday. no one cares.

you can't just make someone care about you.

i thought you left.

what is it about me that has you so worked up?

you're making a big deal out of nothing.

thanks for patching me up.

you... brought this here for me?

but i didn't ask for this! i didn't ask for any of this!

stop smiling at me like that.

WILL THEY, WON'T THEY RELATIONSHIP PROMPTS *  for the people that just won't admit they're in love!

i didn't want you to go alone.

i can't do anything without you.

could you ever imagine us together?

how long have you been sitting here?

sorry if i fall asleep on your shoulder.

you're not like everyone else.

is this a date?

you have no idea what i'd do to keep you safe.

i brought you a coffee, just the way you like it.

could you not see i was flirting?

i should get going.

you're the only one i can turn to.

they thought we were a couple.

they were playing that song the night we met.

let's cook something together.

you're special to me.

i think i'm falling in love.

when did you get here?

i missed you more than you know.

you take the umbrella. i'll be fine.

i'll come pick you up. stay right there.

you're my missing piece.

let me see the menu. we could just split something.

i deleted all my dating apps.

there's only one bed.

i won't let anything hurt you.

i'll walk you home.

you said you were hungry, so i brought you something.

there's something i've been meaning to tell you.

you smile when you're nervous.

i get it. you're not interested.

have you ever considered... us?

nothing will ever be the same.

you're the only person who understands me.

was that flirting?

it would mean a lot to me if you stayed.

do you need a hug?

it's all right. i was happy to do it.

do you remember how we met?

i'm here for you. whatever you need.

do you need a lift?

never leave me again. do you understand?

you're my best friend.

you take the bed, i'll take the couch.

maybe i'm already interested in someone.

i'm on my way over. be there in ten minutes.

i don't want to overstay my welcome.

that looks amazing on you.

i'm not going out with them anymore.

i'm just a phone call away.

yes, i was flirting with you.

keep it. you need it more than me.

it was just one kiss.

you changed everything.

you can lean on my shoulder if you want.

i hate it when you leave.

can you walk me home?

you mean so much to me.

stay right there! i'm coming! i'll help!

i'm in love with you! i've been in love with you this whole time!

maybe i could make us breakfast in the morning.

you could hold my hand if you'd like.

wish you didn't have to go.

call me when you get home? so i know you're safe?

i forgot to tell you. we broke up.

check your front door. there's something waiting for you.

you could spend the night.

we're alone now.

need a ride?

that meant a lot to me, you know.

i don't know what i'd do without you.

do you feel the same way?

you... love me?

do you want to come inside?

you deserve better than that.

here, take my jacket. it's freezing.

this song reminds me of you.

are you dating someone?

i didn't know who else to turn to.

do you really have to go?

i don't understand what you do to me.

i won't let anyone lay a hand on you.

were you flirting with me?

i hate saying goodbye.

what happened between you two, anyway?

they shouldn't talk to you like that.

all this time i've been in love with you.

i won't say anything if you don't.

i remembered your order, by the way.

they think we'd make a good couple.

guess we have to share.

i brought you soup.

did you just say i love you?

it's just us now.

i could use a hug.

you are the single most important thing in my life.

i don't know how i survived for so long without you.

we could go on a date.

i've never felt this way before.

"I'M SORRY, I JUST HAD TO FIND YOU" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue for those desperate times when you just have to see them, no matter what anyone else says, adjust as necessary

i couldn't wait another minute apart from you.

did you expect me to just wait around for you to show up?

i did everything i could to find you.

i thought i did a pretty good job covering my tracks.

they helped me track you down.

i needed to see you.

they can't hurt us anymore.

i come all this way to see you, and this is the greeting i get?

i thought you'd be glad to see me.

it took me forever to find you.

how long have you been looking for me?

it's safer for the both of us if we stop seeing each other.

i thought i told you not to find me.

this was for your own good, you know. i leave, and you stay there, unharmed.

can we find somewhere private to talk?

they said if i left, they wouldn't hurt you.

been searching for you for months, believe it or not.

you weren't supposed to expect me.

this was going to be a surprise.

they can't stop me from seeing you.

would you please let me inside?

tell me where you are, or i'll figure it out myself.

i'm not going to let them prevent us from being together.

you and i... we have to be together. no matter what.

you sure don't make it easy to follow you.

i've been tracking you for miles.

so you're real. the legends are true.

you're pretty good at covering your tracks.

i started asking around, and they pointed me in the right direction.

i got your letter and came as fast as i could.

i can reach your window if i climb this tree.

give me a clue. anything. tell me where you're hiding.

think you could come around back and unlock the door for me?

hey. it's me. would you please let me in?

you're the one they speak about, the one that can fix things.

i know i'm not what you expected.

i couldn't wait another minute.

it's starting to rain. why don't you come inside for a minute?

lecture me later. for now, let's appreciate this time we have together.

i know this looks bad, but... i just had to see you.

they think they can stop me from seeing you.

i don't want to leave your side, not for a minute.

the path was treacherous, but the reward was worth every second.

i'd do anything to find you.

i wanted to find you and thank you for what you did for me.

you're taking a big risk by finding me.

you told me to look for you, and so i did.

is there a key to this door?

we're not supposed to be seen together.

i'm going to get you out of there. just hang on.

when i came looking for you, i didn't expect to find you like this.

they told me you had all the answers. they said you could fix things if i tracked you down.

i've been on your trail for weeks now.

it's safer if we're not seen together.

who told you where i was? was it [name]?

i didn't want you to find me like this.

why do you want to hide from me?

we're stronger if we're together.
