“You’re pretty goddamn sure you know what’s going on all the time.”
“And that everything can again be like it was… though I know that can never be.”
“You do not belong here, even less than I.”
“I wonder what lips yours have kissed and where. Too many, I’m sure.”
“So have the courage to face your own sin before you cite mine so easily.”
“When the moment comes, look into my eyes and pull the trigger.”
“Can I help you in any way?”
“And what do you seek to escape?”
“I believe in everything but god.”
“I thought you liked games.”
“I hate him, that fucker, God, you see.”
“You should’ve kissed me. Will you kiss me now?”
“Her passing was a thing of grace, I promise you.”
“What a simple thing it is to snap your neck. You are so fragile, you…”
“Don’t let me hurt anyone.”
“There was a time I would gladly have killed you, and there may come a time when I gladly shall.”
“Your hands want to touch, but your head wants to appraise. Your heart is torn between the two.”
“Do not be amazed at anything you see… and don’t hesitate.”
“To save her, I would murder the world.”
“Whatever interest, whatever need you think you have, you must forget you ever saw it.”
“You can do better. Give me words.”
“What happened to your lip?”
“As you grow up, you’ll learn we all do things which cause us shame. Sins we have committed…”
“No, no, I don’t want to sleep!”
“I love you for your weakness.”
“There’s something wrong here. What haven’t you told me?”
“Perhaps it has always been there – this thing, this demon inside me – or behind my back, waiting for me to turn around.”
“There are things you can’t control.”
“You really shouldn’t come in here…”
“Your daddy says come home, so home you come.”
“I could never love you.”
“Because the truth is unendurable.”
“Right behind you. Don’t you feel him in the dark? On the back of your neck, his breath… Now one finger reaching out… Do you not feel it?”
“If your goal is to have me surrender to you, that day will never come.”
“There’s always a way to make a living when you’ve a bit of flesh, isn’t there?”
“Nothing I would say would come as a surprise, so you simply want the satisfaction of hearing me say it. Very well.”
“Hell, you sought it out and fucked it.”
“And what will you do with this little bit of my soul?”
“That’s why you’re a virgin.”
“Do what you have promised me!”
“Who can tell about such things, such hidden things? Such secrets we all have, don’t we?”
“I’ll not bore myself with explanations you cannot possibly understand.”
“We shall live with our guilt, you and I.”
“We’ve all sinned. No one knows that better than me.”
“But I love you in a different way.”
“If you let all this happen so that you could manipulate her… I’ll rip your throat out.”
“Don’t be naïve; it doesn’t suit you.”
“You can’t resist me forever, darlin’.”
“Don’t be frightened. Here it is. Everything.”
“Would you like to see something interesting?”
“Answer me, you rude thing.”
“It’s not an easy thing, this you ask of me.”
“Don’t ask permission. If you want to do a thing, do it because it is your desire, not my allowance. You must risk rejection.”
“You won’t be able to deny it.”
“Say it like that and you can get me to do anything.”
“I’m so sorry about last night.”
“God, how I envied you. Perhaps I even hated you.”
“This is a long, grueling, dangerous thing you ask.”
“I’ve not been good. What waits for me on the other side of the door?”
“Something whispered… I listened.”
“You play your role well, but this is not who you are.”
“I… I see things sometimes.”
“Now kindly stop wasting my time, and get out!”
“You have no idea how I fight this thing. This thing inside me.”
“I think you’re bloodthirsty.”
“I believe in a place between heaven and hell, between the living and the dead, a glorious place of everlasting rebirth. I believe in salvation. Do you believe in such a place?”
“This is obscene! You mustn’t!”
“I should warn you; this is not completely legal.”
“I would choose her over you. I might even hope I get the chance.”
“After all this time… she came to me.”
“No wonder you fled from me.”
“What’ve you done to yourself?”
“I’ve never fucked a dying creature before. Do you feel things more deeply I wonder… Do you feel pain?”
“My, my! That temper of yours!”
“In that case, would you like to have an adventure?”
“I like to be looked at.”
“This is a bit beyond my usual practice.”
“Just know that you have made my visit here truly memorable. I shall never forget you.”
“Between us, there’s a rare connection. I won’t deny it, but that very intimacy released something unhealthy in me, something I cannot allow.”
“I suppose we take the happiness we can. Do you?”
“Little girls shouldn’t play with toys like that.”
“There is no going back from this moment.”
“I’m so glad to see you recovered.”
“There are times when we are compelled…”
“She’s been possessed by the devil.”
“Do you believe in fate?”
“There’s no goddamn future in it for either of us! Who’re we trying to fool?”
“Best you didn’t kiss me anymore. Keep a safe distance.”
“You know my name. Aren’t we family here?”
“I have a complicated history with the Almighty.”
“We’ve all done things to survive. There are such sins at my back, it would kill me to turn around.”
“Do you feel I owe you an explanation?”
“I can’t seem to get it out of my head.”
