THE MOST CLICHÉ LINES OF DIALOGUE *  assorted overused dialogue for your muses to say to each other because why the hell not, adjust as necessary

in english, please?

are you thinking what i'm thinking?

whatever you do, don't look down.

so... where were we?

are you trying to get us killed?

i eat guys like you for breakfast.

we'll never make it in time!

how hard can it be?

did i just say that outloud?

no way, i'm coming with you.

don't die on me!

did i miss anything?

yeah, you better run!

you look like you've seen a ghost.

i have a bad feeling about this.

if i wanted to kill you, i would have done it already.

you're gonna wanna see this.

i was about to ask you the same thing.

i gotta get me one of these!

i can explain!

let's get outta here!

i could do this all day!

it's not you, it's me.

this is not happening.

is that all you got?

she's gonna blow!

it's not what it looks like.

i wouldn't do that if i were you.

i was born ready.

what seems to be the problem?

shut up and kiss me.

you have to go on without me.

we're not so different, you and i.

you just don't get it, do you?

you talking to me?

we've got company.

he's right behind me, isn't he.

we can do this the easy way... or the hard way.

you look like shit.

there's a storm coming.

i'd tell you, but then i'd have to kill you.

i'm getting too old for this shit.

sit down and shut up.

don't do anything stupid.

it's just a scratch.

you say that like it's a bad thing.

what is the meaning of this?

cover me. i'm going in.

it's quiet. too quiet.

that's what i'm talking about!

ready when you are.

danger is my middle name.

i've always wanted to do that.

PROMPTS FOR THE RELUCTANT HERO *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

i'm sorry. you must be mistaken.

no one ever stopped and asked me if this was what i wanted.

i don't know what else to tell you. i'm not a hero. i can't do this.

go find someone else to do it.

i can't be what you need me to be.

if you care so much, why don't you do it?

there's been some sort of mix up. i'm no hero.

how can you believe in me when i don't even believe in myself?

there's no way i can fix this.

you picked the wrong person.

i was never cut out for a job like this.

i'm the least violent person you will ever meet.

you're setting an expectation for me that i just can't fulfill.

what, you think i'm the only one who can solve this?

stop treating me like some chosen one.

find someone else to solve this, because i can't!

you can't run from your destiny!

without you, all hope is lost.

i was never going to be what you wanted.

it's been you all along.

i never wanted this.

i'm not fighting anybody!

how many lives were lost because of me?

tell them to figure it out for themselves!

you have no idea how i'm feeling right now.

i'm not cut out for this!

i'm not who you think i am.

you're asking a lot from me.

i can't have them all relying on me like that.

there's too much pressure. i'm not ready for that.

too many lives are at stake.

i'm not a leader! i can't be trusted to lead anyone!

why can't you solve it? why does it have to be me?

i told you, i'm not a hero.

this is your destiny.

i'm quite content living my very normal life, thank you very much.

no one told me i was meant to do that.

you've got the wrong guy.

there must be some mistake. that's not me.

you want me to do what now?

whoa whoa whoa. i never said i would do that.

that wasn't part of the plan!

you're the only one who can fix this.

you can't turn me into someone i'm not.

what they said back there about me... was it true?

have you been keeping this from me all this time?

and you think i'm the one who can fix this. is that it?

i've never done anything like that before. what makes you think i can suddenly do it now?

they sent for you by name.

this has been written in the stars for longer than you've been born.

i feel the pressure on my shoulders, the weight of the world on my back.

you're the one we've been waiting for.

i don't know what you expect me to do.

that's not what we agreed on.

stop looking at me like that.

i don't want anyone to put me on a pedestal.

sorry to disappoint you, but that's not me.

i'm not sticking around to find out.

without you, we will fail. what part of that do you not understand?

you can't just give up now.

you are the chosen one.

without your help, people will die.

do you understand what you mean to these people?

they need a symbol of hope. you can be that symbol.

RANDOM LINES OF DIALOGUE PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

oh, great. more of your very eloquent bullshit.

i don't fear death. in fact, i yearn for it.

if it holds wine, it's a wine glass.

so... no guns. do you have an axe?

i'm not usually this direct, but... what is wrong with you?

this would have been much better with a gun.

i might be a bit too ambitious.

i think you'll see that the time was not wasted.

i can do it as well. i can do it for ages.

it doesn't hurt... well. it hurts a little bit now.

i'm fascinated by what happened in your fourteen minutes of absence.

no hard feelings. please look after yourself.

i am fundamentally incapable of showing off.

i'm just having a bit of a laugh with everyone.

that was so cringey and so uncomfortable.

i have no stitches. none!

momma didn't raise no fool.

i can borrow a dog whenever i want.

honestly? i don't know where to start.

i gave you culture... literature... water.

sometimes absence is more powerful than presence.

by the end of it, we were singing swedish drinking songs.

i think you were really reluctant to take accountability for that.

i just think you formed a bad relationship.

do you think it's fair?

what do you have for me now?

yours is... impressive.

we're all different.

don't you dare look away.

i didn't mind it, actually.

i'm just proud of myself.

i think it went in. it did go in.

i feel ashamed, mainly.

that's what i was going for.

i just want to acknowledge your technique.

it did escalate severely after five minutes.

none of us ever want to see this again.

we've reached the ten minute mark.

i don't think i know who i am.

there's a degree of style in the cowboy hat.

there are no fucking shoes!

you look like you've been kicked through a charity shop.

your phone's ringing.

haven't you ever seen one of those before?

they were sick and dangerous.

what does that say about whoever killed them?

this isn't half bad for college kids.

what the hell is this?

you might want to wear these.

have a safe night.

would you believe i'm single?

why do you always trail off like that?

ASPIRATIONAL "I WANT" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue for yearning, hoping, and dreaming, adjust as necessary

i want more than this.

i shouldn't be ashamed of wanting more for myself.

you don't understand. this is what i've wanted all along.

have you ever dreamed of more than this?

what is it you want?

your passion is inspiring.

what if you can't get what you want all the time?

i want to be more than what i am.

i want to be free.

i'm proud to say i've finally achieved my dreams.

don't you want me to be happy?

"want" and "need are two very different things.

i was hoping there'd be more than this.

this isn't what i wanted for my life.

could you ever want me?

this is the life i've been fighting to have for all these years.

if this is what you want, go and fight for it.

what do you yearn for?

i feel so burdened by the life i have.

i wanted to make a life for myself.

i've wanted you since the day i met you.

is this what you want?

i want for nothing.

what do you want from me?

i can't help you achieve your dreams. you need to do that by yourself.

this is never what i envisioned my life would look like.

you can't want what you don't have.

tell me you've dreamed of bigger things than this.

that's not what i wanted at all.

i never said i wanted to be with you.

your dreams are within reach.

i can't just sit here and wait for my life to change.

there's so much i want to see, so much i want to do.

did you mean it when you said you wanted me?

i dream of a better life for my family and i.

whatever you do, don't give up on your dreams.

hopefully there's something waiting for us.

do you think the universe has plans for us?

do you want to see what i can do?

i was never allowed to ask for things.

wait, stop. is that what you really want?

i'm not asking for their opinion. i'm asking for yours. what do you want?

how long have you been dreaming of a day like this?

do you dream of me?

i can be better than this.

do you want me to come with you?

if you want it, just say the word. it's yours.

you've never asked for anything in your life.

you never told me what it is you wanted.

there's got to be more out there for me than this.

i want adventure. i want passion. i want excitement.

you can't possibly want that.

i've been dreaming about it my whole life.

i'm sick and tired of living a life for someone else.

it's time i live my life for me.

do you ever get what you ask for?

where do you hope to be in ten years?

there's something more for me out there. i can feel it.

PROMPTS FROM NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM *  assorted dialogue from the 2006 film, adjust as necessary

can you believe this weather?

you didn't get evicted again, did you?

i know that things have been kind of up and down for me lately, and that's been really hard for you.

i really feel like my moment's coming, and when it does... everything's just gonna come together.

that wasn't a compliment.

i felt a connection when i entered this office.

let me point you in the right direction.

i cannot tolerate this type of chaos.

nice firm handshake. i like that. tells a lot about a man.

where is he? i'll beat him with my fist!

don't try anything funny.

you really think he's the one?

it's pretty quiet in here these days.

it can get a little spooky around here at night.

i ought to punch you in the nose.

do them in order, do them all, and do them quick.

read the instructions! it explains everything.

do you know what's going on here?

i can't feel my lip.

i know what you're thinking. don't do it. not a good idea.

don't talk down to me!

a man must look inward to find his own answers.

how can i be of help?

actually, i gotta be honest. i don't think i'm coming back.

did you give up on that as well?

some men are born great. others have greatness thrust upon them.

i don't like to be manhandled!

the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

i thought you liked surprises.

i don't know if what happened last night was real.

brush up on your history.

there's a storm coming.

maybe when you have a break, could i buy you a cup of coffee?

i can't hear you through the glass.

you can't fight it and neither can i.

we're gonna have a little talk.

you don't have to be near each other.

what's that supposed to mean?

don't be a kiss-ass.

the thing is, not everyone is great.

no one comes here anymore.

i was on my way to go clean it up.

can i talk to you about this, please?

can you please give me one more night?

we just had a little misunderstanding.

come to work with me tonight.

i prefer hanging out with people who are dead for 200 years. it's the live ones that throw me.

you're really taking your job seriously.

i'm not making fun of you.

i don't wanna hurt you.

we'll take it from here.

someone call my name?

will you save the lectures, please?

i never did any of those things.

what are you made of?

that's all you got for me?

how come you speak english?

i am forever in your debt.

that didn't hurt. don't be a baby.

we can get this done, but we gotta do it together.

you think you can track the guys who took it?

you're worth saving, my dear.

don't you know your history?

don't ever talk to me like that.

great to see you in one piece.

i told you i wasn't making fun of you.

no hard feelings, all right?

with great victory comes great sacrifice.

it's gonna be tough to talk my way out of this one.

hey, it's getting late. are you ready to go home?

[calamitousobscurity]

MISCELLANEOUS SENTENCE PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

hey, what was that shot?

do you think i did it?

i was just thinking that i wouldn't be caught dead in those shorts.

please don't take it away from me.

sometimes it feels like having a ghost in the house.

i haven't had sex in six... no, seven months.

i'm wrong all the time. it's how i get to "right."

they said it was right around here somewhere.

i don't think they're going anywhere.

if something doesn't feel right to you, it usually isn't.

we need to get you to a hospital.

you said this was going to end badly.

i want to follow in your footsteps.

hey, look what i found. a dead guy.

i wasn't being rude. i was being curt.

what's up, [name]? did you find something?

people are pigs.

i... am a genius.

i've got something for you to see.

i can't discuss the case.

it's gotta be the murder weapon.

how are you holding up?

i think i'd just feel a lot better if i had a change of clothes.

stay strong.

you rolled out of bed and managed to dress yourself.

i just wanted to congratulate you in person.

you never give up.

give me some time. i'm not a miracle worker.

i noticed something strange.

you don't have a personal life?

can't get much deader than this.

i just figured i'd come by.

i hope you're not starting to admire those thugs.

you stay, or i'll smash you to pieces.

this one's actually dead.

i tend not to believe people. they lie.

do you stop when it's finished, or when you've had enough?

stop doing the thing i know you're doing!

i'm not an egg man.

you need to get a girlfriend.

not enough to sting. just enough to make you think.

how much does water weigh?

i can't be fucked to plug it in.

don't insult me.

i'm a sinner. i have sinned.

it's warm! why is it warm?

sometimes i can be a little thoughtless.

it's not supposed to be fun.

your timekeeping is abysmal!

i guess i should stop trying to impress you.

i'm looking for the greater comfort of long-term financial security.

it was a gift from me, so technically i own it.

i've been talking for nine minutes?

you're not a bad guy.

never doubt. never look back. that's how i live my life.

i had an absolutely lovely day.

knowledge demands its payment.

i'm not in the mood.

the clues were there!
