FORREST GREENE FANS DO YOU SEE THE VISION

[forrestgreenes]

you called me your best friend. ( skunk in the early years ... picture he's got the biggest goofy grin on his face and his eyes are shining )

@will3nd

i can see the bright smile on skunk's face. it is the kind of thing that could make flowers bloom. but then, as always, my brain twists it. warps into this terrifying idea that this is the beginning of a joke, or that skunk is putting on an act and i have said something terribly wrong. it's like there is a whole war going on in my head in the two seconds that it takes for me to actually say something.

"oh! is... sorry. wa-was i. uhm. did i need to. ask?"

the term just kind of came so naturally, casually in a way that wasn't typical for me. words are things to overthink, especially ones relating to relationships. friendships are supposed to feel like this, i think, but they usually don't. the minefield that typically exists isn't there with skunk. so best felt fitting.

"it's uh. i'm not. i don't have a lot of. them. friends, not. well, i guess. e-even less. best friends. so it's not. i'm not. uh. i'm sorry."

[forrestgreenes]

you look as if you'd seen a ghost or found a gold mine. i don't know which.

@strangeattract

i have always hated that saying, but i really hope that chaz can't tell by my expression. it's not her fault, it's not anyone's fault. but this time, i haven't seen a ghost. no, i had made face in a microscope all morning.

"oh. it's no-not..." i'm not sure why my excitement falters here, as if there is something to be embarrassed about. there is no discovery i have made, nothing great. no, i was messing around with an old experiment i had done in college. grabbed a bit of pond water, got a sample, and looked at what was crawling around.

"j-just uh. just saw, some uh. some guys. in the..." i point. my mouth has decided it is not speaking anymore, apparently.

[forrestgreenes]

sorry if my writing here is weird im just kinda messing around with some styles and ideas

[forrestgreenes]

"anything i can do to help?" from gus!

@nearestend

it feels like there are sirens going off in my head, a sort of fog that i have to move through to actually think. people don't bring up ghosts very often. when they do, it's in reference to a television show that they saw, or something their cousin went through caused by a drafty window. and even then, i avoided those conversations.

but he is being serious, and he is looking at me like he knows. my eyes are about as wide as they can get, and i'm sure i look like a deer standing in the middle of a highway. i certainly feel like something is about to hit me.

"...excuse me?" not offended, but it is the only thing i can think of. not his fault my brain has stopped working.

[forrestgreenes]

i just want to go home !

@redheid

i can't drive a car. which is funny, considering the fact that i live so far from everything. and technically, i can drive a car. i even have one, that sits in a spot in the grass. it's old, and i use it just enough to keep the thing from falling apart. but the car is not here, and even if it was, i wouldn't know where he even lives, so that means i can't drive there.

(i can, but the idea of navigating a new area in a metal death machine sounds awful. enough to make my stomach churn from just that. an idea.)

"uh." i feel put on the spot. not sure if that's what he's trying to do, or just the result of being me. i stare and i stare and i stare, and then, finally, open my mouth. "i have a bike." finally. i barely answer.

[forrestgreenes]

is anyone else scared or is it just me and every deer

hannibal: season 1.

dialogue prompts from season one of nbc's hannibal.

fear is the price of imagination.

my thoughts are often not tasty.

not fond of eye contact, are you?

perception's a tool that's pointed on both ends.

i don't find you that interesting.

you and i are just alike.

how do you see me?

therapy doesn't work on me. i know all the tricks.

therapy is an acquired taste which i have yet to acquire.

i don't think we've ever been alone in a room together.

killing must feel good to god. he does it all the time.

last time i went to a dark place, i brought something back.

dogs keep a promise a person can't.

i remember. i just didn't want to talk about it.

i want the truth. which sometimes requires a little deception.

sounds like something a liar would say.

perception is the most important thing in your life right now.

i don't care what anyone thinks.

i'm gonna be messed up, aren't i?

there's no such thing as 'getting used to' what you experienced.

you do this a lot?

no wonder you have nightmares.

can you catch somebody's crazy?

everybody thinks you did it, you know.

why did you come back here?

i can help you, if you ask me to.

how did you know it was me?

i don't want to go to sleep.

i'll keep your secret.

whose family values?

when misery rains, it pours.

i'm not normal. not anymore.

what was done to you wasn't normal.

support groups are sucking the life out of me.

the family you're born with isn't really family.

tell me about your bad dreams.

i'll just have to get used to lying.

it's important to know when to turn the page.

you want me to do drugs?

more secrets for us.

it's okay. you're home now.

i'm a little taken aback, slash a lot taken aback.

i'm not even sure if i'm awake now.

i've got just the thing to wake you up.

this is not who you are.

who prays over us when we sleep?

do you wait until you think i'm asleep to come to bed?

can we have a conversation, or do you want to pretend everything's alright?

is there anything i can offer you romantically or spiritually or physically to help you out?

you can ask me anything you want.

why don't you come up with your own answers, if you don't like mine?

it's really a very dull story, though, isn't it?

do you want to be alone? don't answer that. just think about your answer.

i don't want you to be alone, not now and not ever.

it's your fight. but i'm in your corner.

i can't give you what you need.

i thought if i kept it to myself, our lives wouldn't change.

i didn't count on changing as much as i did.

i'm gonna sit here until you're ready to talk. you don't have to say a word until you're ready, but i'm not going anywhere until you do.

you looked like you were dreaming.

you're wearing a very well-tailored person suit.

i see enough of you to see the truth of you.

words are living things. they have personality, point of view, agenda.

did you think it was a date?

i googled 'psychopath'. went down the checklist.

i wouldn't be good for you.

it's nice when someone sees us, or has the ability to see us. it requires trust.

i was worried you were dead.

i feel like i've dragged you into my world.

not feeling like yourself is kind of what you do, isn't it?

clearly there's something you don't want to tell me.

i think you need to tell your own story.

no one knows more about ___ than i do.

i won't lie if you don't.

whatever you're feeling now, it won't last.

if you open this door, you won't control what comes through. are you ready for that?

where do you go when you sneak out?

everyone decides their own version of the truth.

i won't tell anything you don't want me to.

i wondered when you would tell me.

you're grieving for the life that was taken from you.

i am officially concerned about you.

i'm not entirely sure what i saw was real.

you're not alone. we are here together.

you made me think i was somebody else.

it's hard to shake off something that's already under your skin.

it's a terrible thing to have your identity taken from you.

it's hard to be with another person when you can't get out of your own head.

we all want things we can't have.

sometimes all we can do is watch.

do i look alive?

i hope you have good insurance.

i know what i did, but i don't remember it.

you made me chicken soup?

this wasn't supposed to be my life.

some places are stained now. some people, too.

i didn't feel safe. so i left.

if i run, they'll catch me, won't they?

you can't protect me anymore.

why did you really call?

i'm sorry i couldn't protect you in this life.

i can't do the silent treatment.

i thought i would get better.

i don't feel like i dodged a bullet.

are you confused about who i am?

i am who i've always been.

the scales have just fallen from my eyes. i can see you now.

you seemed like you needed to talk.

"you can go back to bed if you want."

"if talking hurts, don't talk!"

"here's a bag full of chocolate."

"this is really messing with your sensory issues, huh?"

"i feel really bad."

"my head hurts."

"yes, i've taken painkillers. i've also had water and sat outside for five minutes."

"stop fussing."

...best american short stories.

dialogue prompts from 100 years of the best american short stories, edited by lorrie moore and heidi pitlor.

death-bed promises should be broken as lightly as they are seriously made.

the dead have no right to lay their clammy fingers upon the living.

if you're going to snore, go to bed!

you look as if you'd seen a ghost or found a gold mine. i don't know which.

i don't expect to marry anybody.

don't ever bet on anything.

i didn’t realize it, but the days came along one after another, and then two years were gone, and everything was gone, and i was gone.

we've suffered like everybody, but on the whole it's a good deal pleasanter.

we were a sort of royalty, almost infallible, with a sort of magic around us.

i should think you'd have had enough of bars.

don't you want a cocktail before dinner?

i want to get to know you.

i don't really need much taking care of anymore.

i don't want you to forget.

have you got a picture of ___?

family quarrels are bitter things. they don't go according to rules.

i was caught in a trap. it wasn't set for me, but it got me all the same.

you wanted a story, so i gave you a good one.

write me a letter. don't forget. i'll be waiting.

my dreams never renege on me. they're all i have to go by.

i don't put the respect on dreams i once did.

are you sure nobody knows where i am?

i don't see why you should ever be afraid of anything.

you know i'd take care of you if anything ever happened, don't you?

don't go away. stay and talk.

you don't have to worry, you know. i wouldn't ever let anything happen to you.

i wish you wouldn't look so unhappy.

i didn't think you saw me. not at first.

how can you get away from anything here?

we're all human on earth.

we couldn't get away from each other if we tried.

i don't want to do a thing from now on till evermore.

sometimes there are about fifteen or twenty minutes in the week when i feel like myself.

i thought it might make you happy. i wanted to make you happy.

and what if they can hear us? who cares?

i thought you were too smart to get hung.

i swear if i'd known what i was doing i would have never hurt you so.

maybe it does some good if you believe it.

i hope you'll remember the things i tried to teach you.

honey, there's a lot that you don't know. but you are going to find it out.

don't you forget what i told you, you hear?

i think people ought to do what they want to do. what else are they alive for?

i can't forget where i've been, and what i've been.

i can't really talk about it. not to you, not to anybody.

don't be a martyr.

with the world in the mess it's in, it's a wonder we can enjoy anything.

if you know who you are, you can go anywhere.

buck up. it won't kill you.

i wish you'd talk to me.

don't you ever want to rest?

i think death is a wonderful thing. i look forward to it.

what tone? i didn't take any tone.

you give everyone too much. that's your trouble.

mad at me, huh?

i don't know why i did it. i'm sorry for it, isn't that enough?

god listened and didn't say yes or no.

you should have gone after them with an ax.

you've been lucky. you always have been.

i bet you're afraid of me.

why aren't you married? you're not ugly. are you gay or something?

how nice. you always try to say the right thing.

you can't seem to keep your mind on one thing for more than a minute at a time.

it's not exactly the kind of thing you can bring up over lunch.

can you keep a secret about what i did today?

i thought when i left, it would just go away.

i want more days like that.

you don't have a heart. there's nothing to love in you.

would you tell me something if i asked you? would you tell me the truth?

other people's dreams are boring.

two salaries and no kids, that's the way to go.

i always seem to miss you.

i don't think i'll ever be dead enough --- or dead long enough --- to get the taste of this life off my teeth.

your optimism always surprises me.

pick on someone your own size.

promise you won't get mad?

i could yell at you, but why waste my breath?

better late than never. i was sure i'd see you someday.

you're a regular whirling dervish.

i don't watch tv. i don't own one.

how do you connect with the rest of the world?

did you like growing up there?

i don't usually say stuff like that.

i've been getting these mixed signals from you. i can't tell if you're attracted to me or not.

you don't have to love me. i love you enough for both of us.

group sex is for teenagers.

i think our hopes are made when we are young, and we can never adjust them to the real world.

how long can you use your parents as an excuse?

a life is like a house. one has to plan carefully where all the furniture will go.

mr. grief and i went a few rounds.

if you think about fear, then you'll be afraid.

i want to be a hero, you know?

you can always trust unhappiness.

i will keep coming until you speak to me.

what brings you here after all these years?

can i hug you? i'd really like to give you a hug.

i worried about you the whole time.

i wanted to be with you all the time.

the moment you fall in love with someone, you are lost.

i had to let you make your own mistakes.

PROMPTS FOR THINGS FRIENDS SAY TO EACH OTHER *  assorted dialogue for a multitude of friendly and platonic conversations and situations ranging from soft to dramatic, adjust as necessary

of course i love you. you're my best friend.

i really couldn't do this without you.

did you just call me your best friend?

that's what friends are for.

if you know me so well, what's my favorite color?

remember when they mistook us for siblings?

you're the only person i've ever trusted.

i know i can count on you for anything.

do you approve of them?

there's nothing i wouldn't do for you.

if something was wrong, i would tell you.

i can tell when you're lying.

okay, now tell me the truth this time.

i'm not leaving you behind.

i don't know what i'd do if i lost you.

let's not fight like that again.

i always knew you would accomplish amazing things.

that wasn't fair of me to say to you.

i'm sorry i upset you.

i know everything about you.

maybe we should go someplace fun.

will you be in my wedding?

we've been friends for years. you think i didn't know?

i figured you'd tell me when you were ready.

you called me your best friend.

if it matters that much to you, we'll do it.

i just want you to be happy above all else.

you deserve a whole lot better, you know.

i wish you could see yourself the way i see you.

you've always been there for me, no matter what.

i'd risk my life to save you.

we need a girls trip.

i know you better than you know yourself.

you don't think i can tell when you're lying?

you can't get anything past me.

as your best friend, i have to step in.

that's wrong, and you know it.

i love you, but not in that way.

we need to get out of here. just us.

you mean the world to me.

you deserve better than the way they treat you.

i think i have a right to express my honest opinion when it comes to my best friend.

the only way we survive this is if we work together.

you trust me, don't you?

we could sit for hours in silence, and i'd still love the time we spent together because it was with you.

i can tell you anything, and you won't judge me.

maybe we should take a trip together, just us.

i'm so happy for you and the life you've created.

you know me so well.

one day we'll end up in rocking chairs on a porch together, complaining about everything.

you're like a sister to me.

you're like a brother to me.

you're practically family at this point.

if you asked me to help you hide a body, i would.

no one messes with my best friend.

excuse me, but i'm your best friend. i think i have a right to know.

i've known you all my life.

i hate it when we fight.

"AM I INTERRUPTING SOMETHING?" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue for slightly awkward moments and potentially some secrets accidentally revealed, adjust as necessary

i can come back later if i have to.

i wasn't supposed to hear that.

oh, get a room, you two.

am i interrupting something?

i didn't mean to show up unannounced.

they told me to just let myself in.

i heard everything.

this seems like a bad time.

did i just see you kiss [name]?

i saw you hide something behind your back.

did i just see what i think i saw?

who were you talking to?

that was awkward.

so... care to fill me in?

i knew you were keeping something from me.

was i supposed to hear that?

when were you going to tell me the truth?

so that's what you've been hiding.

i knew there had to be more to this.

was i meant to hear that conversation?

you knew i was listening in.

i overheard what you said about me.

i might have heard you talk about it.

a little bird told me.

i won't tell a soul.

what just happened?

are you hiding things from me?

so... are you going to tell me what that was all about?

i knew it.

why will you tell them but not me?

do you not trust me with your secrets?

i can keep a secret.

you're hiding something.

what did i just walk in on?

don't try to play dumb. i heard everything.

should i come back later?

you're being very sneaky.

let's pretend i didn't just hear that.

i didn't mean to hear that.

you two seem busy.

i'll... wait in the other room.

oops. wrong room.

don't mind me.

i didn't see anything!

let's just carry on like nothing happened.

there's nothing to see here!

if you need me, i'll be over here.

it's not nice to keep secrets.

so... tell me everything you know.
