PROMPTS FROM LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER * assorted dialogue from the 2001 film, adjust as necessary
i woke up this morning and i just hated everything.
oh... very funny.
to see your world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower. hold infinity in the palm of your hand, an eternity in an hour.
i'm only trying to turn you into a lady.
a lady should be modest.
what's that smell?
you might try to kill me.
i'm not going to kill you.
so... time to save the universe again, then, is it?
it's a clock. it's ticking.
tell me, is there a good reason why i just kept you alive?
i think you're trying to cheat me out of my little ray of sunshine.
why would i try to cheat you out of anything?
i need you to get the piece so i can steal it from you later.
you're bluffing.
was it programmed to stop before it took my head off?
ah, well... that would be a no.
we have 83 rooms.
why can't you just live in the house?
i'm a free spirit.
i don't believe it.
i think it's really cool that you can still keep a day job.
it's obviously just for show.
still pretending to be an archaeologist?
it's not like you ever really owned them or anything.
i think your clients need you.
it's all just a business.
so... go do business.
i suppose you think i'm a greedy, unscrupulous sell-out who'll do just about anything for money?
if you cross me, we may not be able to remain friends.
always a pleasure.
now... for a cold shower.
pretty much touch anything, and you get your head chopped off.
it's my system! so i know where they all came from!
this is where i start to have fun.
into the belly of the beast.
it's wrong.
time was stolen from us, and it's not fair.
really? that's fascinating.
i don't know about you, but i'm not planning to give that much time to this enterprise.
my ignorance amuses me.
i've always found your ignorance quite amusing.
i'll be calling in a favor.
that's a secret.
if i told you, i'd have to kill you.
ah, [name]. how predictable.
what are you doing here?
she taught my men a thing or two about home invasion.
we may even need to hire her.
hello. if you don't mind, i'd like to have a word alone. please.
so, what are you? good guy or bad guy?
your problem is that you can't be trusted.
i'm just trying to get by. have a little fun.
i know what you are.
you should wear this. allow me.
[name] must mean a lot to you.
i had hoped it wasn't necessary. a betrayal...
you know, you worry me.
i can feel your conflict over this.
do you mind if i smoke?
i'm not gonna kill you.
who sits here?

disney’s robin hood … sentence starters
“You thieving scoundrel!”
“Ooh, you put that back!“
“I only wish I could do more.”
“That’s all of them. Get going!“
“Oh, how gracious and generous.”
“Move it, Creepy, get lost. Begone!”
“Well, for one thing, you can’t cook.“
“Kill him. Don’t stand there, kill him!”
“That’s what I’m afraid of. You go first.“
“Besides, what have I got to offer her?“
“This will be my greatest performance.“
“You’re never around when I need you.“
“Now, take it easy, I’m just doing my duty.”
“Oh, darling, I thought you’d never ask me!“
“My darling, I love you more than life, itself.“
“With you around, who needs a court jester?”
“My job is to tell it like it is, or was, or whatever.“
“That’s a gas, we ain’t even been arrested, yet!“
“I’ve thought it all out, and… it just wouldn’t work.“
“Snakes don’t walk, they slither. Hmph. So there.“
“You’re under arrest for high treason to the crown!”
“But you could have chosen a more romantic setting.“
“I was just wondering, are we good guys or bad guys?”
“What? And miss this chance to perform before royalty?“
“You know something? You’re taking too many chances.“
“He stands alone on a giant throne, pretending he’s the king.”
“Cool it, loverboy! You’re heart’s running away with your head!“
“The sheriff and his whole posse couldn’t lift you off the ground.“
“Aw, how about that for luck? It’s only a circus! A peanut operation!“
“Climb the castle walls. Sweep her off her feet. Carry her off in style.“
“No, but there’s somebody who will be very disappointed if you don’t come.“
“Looks most becoming. You look regal, dignified, sincere, masterful, noble…”
“Here. And keep your chin up. Soon, there’ll be happiness, again, you’ll see.”
“Oh, you have made his birthday a wonderful one. How can I ever thank you?“
“That’s no life for a lovely lady. Always on the run. What kind of a future is that?“
“They’re getting better, you know. You’ve got to admit it! They are getting better.“
“The prince? Wait a minute, there’s a law against robbing royalty. I’ll catch you later.”
“Oh, for heaven’s sake, son! You’re no outlaw! Why, some day you’ll be called a great hero!”
“My dear ladies, you have my permission to kiss the royal hands, whichever you like… first.“
“You’re mighty preachy… and you’re gonna preach your neck right into a hangman’s noose.“
“Rob? Tsk tsk tsk. That’s a naughty word. We never rob. We just sort of borrow a bit from those who can afford it.“
“Marry her? You don’t just walk up to a girl, hand her a bouquet and say, ‘hey, remember me? We were kids together. Will you marry me?’.”

the vampire diaries: season 1 [2/2].
dialogue prompts from season one of the cw's the vampire diaries.
i think we need a fresh start.
if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself.
who knew, you and me?
who knew you could be fun?
that's the hard part, not knowing.
i was perfectly polite.
remember that, because it's never gonna happen again.
you know me. i say stupid things without thinking.
i fought back tonight. it felt good.
what are you doing out here in the middle of the night? it's not safe.
are you sure you're ready for this?
if i see something i haven't seen before, i'll throw a dollar at it.
you were sad. you lacked purpose. you needed me.
if you're here for revenge, this is going to end badly for you.
trust breeds trust. you have to give it to get it.
you just couldn't live without me, huh?
i was wondering how long it would take you to find me.
i don't say much, which means i hear everything.
you know you're not staying the night, right?
i have a speech. it is fully scripted and well-rehearsed. are you ready for it?
you don't need to coddle me. i'll be fine.
i know how this looks. i'm sorry.
i had your address. i'm sorry for barging in.
you're like mulder, except hotter and a girl.
you don't strike me as someone who gets depressed.
you're all i have left.
it's hard for me to show kindness to people who hate me. i'm not that evolved.
what's with the glasses inside?
i'm all responsible now, haven't you heard?
take a night off. it's good for the soul.
we cannot live our lives about revenge.
i can't just sit here and do nothing.
you only like me because of what you want from me.
you're gonna want to let go of me.
mystery casserole. yum.
what you say and what you do are typically two very different things.
the truth is the only thing that's gonna help people move on.
you're nice to talk to me. i don't have anyone to talk to.
i don't want you to see me like this.
i can't just pretend like everything is okay.
i'm not going to put you in a situation where you have to choose sides.
this isn't me. i'm not this person anymore.
don't do that. don't pretend like you don't care.
our actions are what set things in motion, but we have to live with that.
everything on this planet is not your fault.
i don't have any reasons that are going to comfort you. i don't have any explanations that are going to satisfy you.
you were supposed to mourn me and move on.
i can't fix it if i don't know what's wrong.
you really have to stop being such a hater.
forever doesn't last very long when you're human.
no one else here likes me.
you caused quite a stir when you blew into town.
i do believe in killing the messenger. you know why? it sends a message.
if you need me, i'm here for you. i'm sorry i couldn't show you that.
are you that far gone?
i don't trust you. i tried to kill you.
don't look for redeeming qualities in me. i don't have any.
you hate me. good.
i know i'm not supposed to be here, but i don't have anywhere else to go.
you might qualify as my only friend.
i have enough problems with the family i actually care about.
you're gonna have to do a little bit better than 'sorry'.
i like you better like this.
good cop, bad cop. i like it.
they think i'm with them, but i'm not.
i try so hard to hate _____. i guess it's just pointless.
i hope you know that things have to change.
i'm not a hero. i don't do good. it's not in me.
somewhere along the way, you decided i was worth saving.
it's late. you should probably come inside.

somadina.
dialogue prompts from somadina by akwaeke emezi.
some people don't want to hear true things. you have to be careful which ear you speak it into.
you look like you're expecting trouble.
i have never loved you any less. never spent a morning without you on my mind.
will i ever sleep at night?
you don't think, and you don't see anything.
i just want to be close to you.
it's as if i know you already.
if i don't know myself, who is it that will know me?
you don't ever notice the things i don't say. everyone has secrets.
let's not worry too much about things we can't control.
i am here. i will always be here.
did you ever love me?
we are always family, no matter where we scatter to.
i'm not very popular right now, you know.
you belong to yourself first. just remember that.
people don't need to see everything.
people like us cannot be afraid of our gifts.
lie to me again. i dare you.
i wish i had been content with my boredom.
knowledge is worth everything.
i forget how to talk to people.
i hate seeing you in pain.
i don't think i can go back home.
i should have been there for you. i shouldn't have run.
you don't deserve what? care? touch? affection?
i'm not the one you left behind anymore.
i can't give up on you and let you hate yourself like this.
can i hold you, or will you bite my hand off?
we were always going to change, but the love doesn't change, you hear?
take it easy. you can handle this.
don't offer to pay me again.
you haven't lost me. not yet.
knowing what i want wouldn't help you stop me.
you don't look well. i think you need to sleep some more.
how are you managing?
you didn't lose me. you threw me away.
don't worry. you will always have a family.
your face is doing that thing where you're in pain but you're pushing it away.
sometimes doing nothing is the wicked thing.
i don't feel so strange with you.
sometimes i feel like i don't really exist.
if you won't fight for your own life, what will you fight for?
i don't like that tone. avoid it.
are you making a joke right now?
i always told you the truth.
you are not a victim here. which part of this is hard for you?
there's something very wrong with you.
the magic has to go somewhere.
do you want to go home?
looking away doesn't make things disappear.
it's going to be alright. everything is going to be alright.

@niratias 〢 cont from here .
“I’m not moralizing,” Gerry says. “You’d know if I was, and this has nothing to do with morality.” The Fears hunt indiscriminately because people across all spectrums are scared of something. But telling people when they are being stupid and reckless? Now, that, he will do.
Gerry doesn’t really want to touch what is slipping out of Cid’s veins, not until he can be sure that it is safe. But he won’t leave the guy to fend for himself, either. “All right, tell me how I can help you.”

▸ @niratias ⟶ ❛ i have a feeling we're close to the end. (from Cayne) ❜ ╱ ( even in arcadia , accepting . )
Gerry has spent the better part of his life trying to stop the apocalypse, mostly out of spite, partially out of love. When he was dead, he didn’t care what happened to this planet, but now that he is alive again, he is back at it, doing what he can to make sure others get to live in a world not entirely saturated with horror.
“It’s been close to the end before,” he says, glaring icily at the thing before him. “That doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. There are ways to disrupt it.” And he reaches for the comfort of his lighter in his coat pocket, swiping a thumb over its smooth casing, despite knowing it won’t serve him here.
“There’s too much competition here—among yourselves, against us. It’s not as hard to destabilize you as you’d like it to be.”
#listen to me‚ save yourself. 『 ic 』#piss off‚ i told them i'm not talking. 『 answered 』#niratias#//my gerry is Rusty lol

Hercules {Sentence Starters}
“So, can’t. Love to, but can’t.”
“Look, I learned my lesson, okay?”
“No man is worth the aggravation.”
“Aren’t you… a damsel in distress?”
“He hurt you real bad, didn’t he? Huh?”
“WHAT? Okay, fine, fine. I’m cool. I’m fine.”
“Memo to me: maim you after my meeting.”
“Thanks for everything. It’s been a real slice.”
“People do crazy things when they’re in love.”
“People are… are gonna get hurt, aren’t they?”
“You’re really choked up about this, aren’t ya?”
“He’s not gonna be happy when he gets outta there.”
“Um, I don’t know. I thought they looked kinda dashing.”

“If there’s a prize for rotten judgment, I guess I’ve already won that.”

“He’s gotta have a weakness, because everybody’s got a weakness.”
“So, did they give you a name along with all those rippling pectorals?”
“I can’t believe this guy. I throw everything I’ve got at him, and it doesn’t even…?”
“Ah, but dreams are for rookies, kid. A guy can only take so much disappointment.”
“You know, I haven’t seen this much love in a room since Narcissus discovered himself.”
“Aren’t we forgetting one teensy-weensy, but ever so crucial little, tiny detail? I OWN YOU!”
“You know, when I was a kid, I would have given anything to be exactly like everybody else.”
“Well, you know, that’s good because that’s what got you into this jam in the first place, isn’t it?”
“We dance, we kiss, we schmooze, we carry on, we go home happy. What do you say? Come on.”
“Well, you know how men are. They think ‘No’ means ‘Yes’, and ‘Get lost’ means ‘Take me, I’m yours’.”
“Well, they’re just fine. You know, a little dark, a little gloomy. And, as always, hey, full of dead people. What are you gonna do?”
