the magicians sentence starters.
part i.
there are more important things.
it’s always something with you, isn’t it? it’s always an emergency.
your ability to think that we have the slightest molecule of control over anything never ceases to amaze me.
well, i’m sure you’re a hit at parties.
i am the angel protecting your future. tighten your shit.
you can’t run away hard enough, can you?
if you were hallucinating, how would asking me help?
thank god that you’re confused too!
don’t you want students who make actual inquiry instead of just accepting like sheep?
quit dicking around! do some goddamn magic!
playing with time is such difficult magic. you’ll just make it worse.
magic is real. but you’ve gathered that, haven’t you?
so… ‘be a magician’? is that illegal, or..?
are you guys trying to take over the world, or…?
if you want to take over the world, we don’t teach that, but… give it a go.
why do you have all that nerd-boy dragon porn shit anyway? are you twelve?
do not come by our house if you have anything important to do the next morning.
maybe he should be scared.
we all signed this waiver. i hope you read yours. it says 'spell work is not unlikely to murder you. and if so, oh well’.
so stay on the garden path, kid.
let’s go find something magic to smoke.
it’s good to be aware that the world is inherently unfair.
you go back out there to the great big boring world, and you’ll never find your way back without us.
i need you to tell them they were wrong about me.
god, were you always this smug?
you have no idea how long it took me to find a spell that was real.
you’re hurting yourself, and you’re not okay.
you thought the school was the only place to track the gift?
it’s going to kill you. do you understand?
i know you feel you finally belong, but that place isn’t the point.
you feel right because you’re starting toward your destiny. that’s all.
seek real answers that will help you fight!
i really don’t want to get kicked out.
i really don’t want to be the guy who dies in the first ten minutes of the movie because he’s like 'you know what? let’s take out the ouija board. what could possibly go wrong?’
i’m obviously coming with you.
great, well. that makes me feel a whole less nervous.
there’s no such thing as safe magic. you should know that.
might as well take a risk.
did you think that i came here because i just love magic so much?
i got that you guys need some extra hands or something.
let us know if shit gets exciting.
so what is this place exactly, besides a health hazard?
you ask a lot of questions.
i’m waiting for something interesting to happen.
now, it is so well stocked, it’s like the end of the rainbow.
i know we’re not supposed to fire off battle magic, but… i mean, come on.
we live in a world that is one world among many.
we do not know the exact nature of this entity, only that it is powerful and malevolent.
jesus, you didn’t tell me you were dangerous.
we’re stuck, and they’re trying to kill us, so–
these people are not murderers. trust me.
there’s a bad story every few years around here. i’m not sure that’s avoidable.
it’s amazing i survived as long as i did not knowing that i was a magician.
he died instantly and i ruined my favourite button-down.
funny little irony they don’t tell you – magic doesn’t come from talent. it comes from pain.
so, do you know what it was, the thing that attacked you?
i thought you might be familiar with some pretty crazy shit, since your family…
i just want to be your friend, i guess.
jesus christ, they’re gonna kill us. why did i sign up for this?
you have to find your way out.
look, if you can’t get through this, you definitely can’t deal with what it takes to do what we do.
we could not have screwed up that spell worse, and we can’t take it back, and –
you should hate me right now.
honestly, growing up, the last thing i wanted to do was read fantasy.
i mean, look, we called something from another world. i don’t know, can that really be a coincidence?
you don’t understand how mind-blowing that is!
i know i don’t know you that well, but i know you’re not the type to scare easy.
let’s just say life wasn’t exactly nonstop fun growing up.
why would you leave the only place with experts that might actually be able to help you with this?
if you’re guilty, i’m guilty.
this is serious for some of us.
okay, you know what? i’m not interested in your personal issues.
come on, let’s go before we freeze our tits off.
i found the most interesting thing buried in our woods.
i know they’re your friends.
i can do nothing in this moment to stop the comet from crashing into earth, is there?
word travels fast when your life’s over.
who would want to know that magic exists if there’s nothing you can do about it… you know, if there’s no one to teach you or help you?
you do not have to make me feel better, we – really, we basically just met each other.
i bond fast. time is an illusion.
how about i find you and seduce you and so lift your spirits and life retains its spark for decades?
i need you to remind me that magic is real.
let’s find a way out of this shit hole.
you piece of shit! you ratted me out!
who shot off that spell?!
scissors make a shitty screwdriver, by the way.
i’m done trying to prove myself to you.
you’re smart. you’re passionate. you question things.
how am i supposed to trust you?
why would you ever trust anyone?
i am willing to teach the right people everything i know… and i know a lot, because i have certain connections in certain places.
hey, have you ever heard of karma? well, sometimes, it’s instant.
you’re a heartless bitch.
get me everything on this list, this week.
i kind of screwed that up.
you’re a much better liar than i expected you to be.
you’re not very remarkable.
you’re so eager to belong, you even forget why you’re here.
i’ve looked into that beast’s eyes.
do you think you have a destiny?
i used to believe that crap too when i was young.
there is no destiny. no born heroes.
learn fast, by any means necessary.
relax, nobody’s taking your mind today.
we’ll make something of you yet.
don’t hop back on the garden path like some little lemming, or i’ll erase everything and start you over entirely, for your own good.
everything’s connected. don’t over-think it.
hope your bits are covered.
i knew he’d come, but i swear i didn’t know so soon.
no one is ready. we need more time.
this is your problem that you should solve!
join the party, sad sack.
