baldur's gate 3 starters (part 2)
part 2 / ? .
❝ i’m also worried about me, but i somehow seem to be worried about you more. ❞
❝ you put the stars to shame. let’s sit here a little while - i want to drink you in. ❞
❝ i’d tell you not to get in trouble, but i suspect it will find you whether you like it or not. ❞
❝ well, this seems as good a time as any for me to stop babbling on. ❞
❝ i just….need some air…clear my head. ❞
❝ it’s been a long time since i shed a tear. i don’t even know how long. ❞
❝ i had a feeling you’d show up. it’s sort of our thing. like it’s fate or something. ❞
❝ i do appreciate your enthusiasm, but let's try to restrain ourselves a little. ❞
❝ if that was an attempt at flirting, i should let you know i prefer the strong, silent type. ❞
❝ no matter how far you come, you’re still on the road to ruin. ❞
❝ i thought you a hunter. wrong. you’re prey - small. snivelling. pathetic. ❞
❝ and what am i owed? what about the injustices i’ve suffered - am i not entitled to anything? ❞
❝ i can’t help but feel the strangest twinge of disgust as i look upon you. ❞
❝ i trust that you will continue to remember who is really on your side. ❞
❝ better a short life built on truth than immortality woven of lies. ❞
❝ i won’t make excuses. i can’t make amends. but i want to help, if you’ll let me. ❞
❝ gods, it’s horrifying…and a touch fascinating. ❞
❝ there are many names for you --- and all of them inspire dread. ❞
❝ destiny is at your door; won’t you at least twitch the curtain? ❞
❝ the gravest crimes committed in this world are committed for love. a hunger crueller than bloodlust. ❞
❝ you’ve got a backbone, and the makings of a leader. ❞
❝ revenge sounds so sweet until you’ve taken it. then all you have is…no one left to blame. ❞
❝ some mistakes can’t be resolved with an apology. some mistakes, you have to carry with you, forever. ❞
❝ you’re plotting something, aren’t you? come on then - out with it. ❞
❝ this is not good, if i may state the obvious. ❞
❝ think of all we’ve been through just to get to this moment. that wasn’t luck. that was us. ❞
❝ feel like i should laugh but i’m just too godsdamned tired. ❞
❝ there is something i lost…no, had taken from me. i want it all back. ❞
❝ careful - you’re in very real danger of hurting my feelings. ❞
❝ one thing i’ve learned - real saviours never label themselves as such. ❞
❝ less thinking of bad thoughts, and more breaking of bad bones. ❞
❝ i rather like interfering. it’s kind of my thing. ❞
❝ evil is evil, even if it once was innocent. ❞
❝ you know, i've been catching myself smiling more lately. i think that's your fault.. ❞
❝ oh, i’m no innocent. but evil? you tell me. ❞
❝ i still want to believe you’re better than that. but even i am having my doubts. ❞
❝ i can’t afford to lose my nerve. safer to just not think, and keep forging ahead. ❞
❝ when all this is over, will you stay with me? for good? ❞
❝ this is not good, if i may state the obvious. ❞
❝ is there a reason you're always such an utter drip? do you have some sort of condition? honestly, it's like you hate good news. ❞
❝ all of nature’s beauty pales in comparison to you. ❞
❝ i can’t save you from yourself. it hurts terribly, but i can’t. ❞
❝ if i seem suddenly flush with hope and soft feeling, you have only yourself to blame. ❞
❝ is there good and evil within us all? ❞
❝ i’ve been watching you fight. your skills are improving. ❞
❝ you know, for all the sense of dread and horror seeping through this place, i really feel quite at home here. ❞
❝ and you? you’re wholly without vice or sin or the occasional lapse in judgement? ❞
❝ i wager you don’t even know how extraordinary you truly are. but i do. ❞
❝ one might say you’re paragon of luck. i’ll be there when it runs out. ❞
❝ i've always had a soft spot for the confident ones…they always disappoint though. ❞
❝ i concealed nothing from you. i simply left out the details that were not pertinent. ❞
❝ you’re an odd friend. but, i suppose, a friend still. ❞
❝ i won’t let you do this. i won’t let you win. ❞
❝ you are my puppet. make no mistake. without me, you have no value. ❞
❝ well, this seems like a lovely little spot. the sense of impending doom aside. ❞
❝ whoever your enemies are, they have good reason to fear you. ❞
❝ this place is astonishing, a bard’s tale made real. ❞
❝ i may not regret my actions, but i do regret that they were necessary. ❞
❝ experience has taught me that no matter how bleak things look, there’s always hope. ❞
❝ if this adventure has taught me anything, it’s that there are things in this world more valuable than power. ❞
❝ a wise man learns from his mistakes, and strives not to repeat them. ❞
❝ no more hiding things from me. agreed? ❞
❝ my friend. my companion. i adore you. ❞
❝ your face is sour. by all means leave, if i am so distasteful. ❞
❝ careful, it’s dark around here. would be a terrible shame to lose you forever. ❞
❝ you startled me. i…i was miles away. ❞
❝ you have to know who i was. you have to know who i really am. ❞
❝ nothing special, of course. you’re only the first person who i truly care for. ❞
❝ you’ve got a backbone, and the makings of a leader. ❞
❝ anything you ask, i’ll answer as honestly as i can. ❞

PROMPTS FROM SHREK
* assorted dialogue from the 2001 film, adjust as necessary
two things, okay? shut... up.
you didn't slay the dragon?
some of you may die... but it's a sacrifice i am willing to make.
they judge me before they even know me. that's why i'm better off alone.
how will you kiss me?
that wasn't in the job description!
what is so funny?
let's just say... i'm not your type.
pick me! pick me!
i've got a dragon and i'm not afraid to use it!
now really, it's rude enough being alive when no one wants you, but showing up uninvited to a wedding?
it's a compliment! better out than in, i always say.
you can't tell me you're afraid of heights.
let's do that again!
what's that? it's hideous.
only a true friend would be that cruelly honest!
well, technically, you're not a king.
the battle is won.
so where is this fire-breathing pain in the neck, anyway?
hey, don't look at me. i didn't invite them.
it's on my to-do list!
you're meant to charge in, sword drawn, banners flying!
that's not the point!
huh, celebrity marriages. they never last, do they?
that'll do, [name]. that'll do.
you're going the right way for a smacked bottom.
well, that's not very nice. it's just a donkey.
where are you going? the exit's over there!
i have to save my ass.
what kind of a knight are you?
i was talking about the dragon.
man, this would be so much easier if i wasn't color-blind.
we can stay up late, swapping manly stories, and in the morning... i'm making waffles!
whoa, look at that. who'd wanna live in a place like that?
that... would be my home.
i think i need a hug.
you're a monster!
we were forced to come here!
you know, you're really quite a decorator!
it's amazing what you've done with such a modest budget!
i like that boulder. that is a nice boulder.
you know, not everybody likes onions.
everybody loves cake!
i don't care what everyone likes!
have you ever met a person, you say, "let's get some parfait," they say, "hell no, i don't like parfait."
end of story! bye bye! see ya later!
parfaits may be the most delicious thing on the whole damn planet!
it talks?
i'm not the monster here, you are!
now tell me, where are the others!
eat me!
i've tried to be fair to you creatures, but now my patience has reached its end.
all right then! who's hiding them?
oh you're going to love it there.
men of his stature are in short supply.
it's getting him to shut up that's the trick!
hey, what's your problem [name], what you got against the whole world anyway, huh?
i'll find those stairs.
look, i'm not the one with the problem, okay? it's the world that seems to have a problem with me.
do you think he's maybe compensating for something?
hey, where're you going?
oh man, i can't feel my toes!
take a look at me. what am i?
doesn't that bother you?
man, i like you. what's your name?
you're so wrapped up in layers, onion boy, you're afraid of your own feelings.
there you are, doing it again!
oh... oh this is all my fault.
you can't do this to me! i'm too young for you to die!
you gotta warn somebody before you just crack one off, my mouth was open and everything.
believe me, if it was me... you'd be dead.
i steal from the rich and give to the needy.
man, that was annoying.
i was sent to rescue you.
i'm supposed to be rescued by my true love!
your job is not my problem.
you love this woman, don't you?
i don't want to rush into a physical relationship.
like that's ever gonna happen!
why are you following me?
stop singing!
it's no wonder you don't have any friends!
