scarecrow from the 1973 film. alter as needed.

how you doing? you okay?

up yours, you two-bit son of a bitch!

you heading east, buddy?

some corn flakes with a little milk. and some scrambled eggs. bacon. toast.

i got the money to get us rolling.

this your first day?

hey, fella, you got nothing better to do than listen in on other people's conversations?

i'm like the meanest son of a bitch alive.

i don't trust anybody. i don't love anybody.

we're gonna be partners.

otherwise, i'll break your back.

can i have a bottle of beer and a chocolate doughnut?

man, i didn't start it.

you get in a lot of fights, don't you?

you think crows are really scared of a scarecrow?

that's the most harebrained idea i've ever heard.

i guess the fish are reciting poetry.

it was just bullshit.

you're not playing with a full deck, man. you got one foot in the great beyond.

you didn't pick me. i picked you.

that's as far as we can take you.

shut the door, you big dope.

these two guys go into a bar, right. and one guy says to the bartender, "two mugs." bartender says, "i know that. what'll you have?"

i'm the tallest man in this bar.

people can't stay mad at you if you make them laugh.

i'll put you into the goddamn wall.

gotta wash your hands first.

ever see dawn from a ship?

always made me feel like a kid.

getting laid is sure good for my regularity.

you should be more careful where you drop your drawers.

it's like i've been asleep for nine years.

the world goes on changing. there's nothing you can do about it.

[name] has told me nothing about you.

you cute little motor scooter, you.

how come you wear all these clothes?

ask me if i like you.

what did you miss most when you were in prison?

making pie. it's chocolate.

there ain't no better sound on earth.

you have your own place.

it started back when i was in high school.

screw the world.

take it easy. you have a whole half a life to go.

gee, i thought you'd never ask me.

come on, then, my little darling. you get your little self right there.

i'm headed for something. and it's gonna be big. i can feel it.

she did things i didn't think you could do unless you were a snake.

i was so drunk, i kept falling off the bed.

this round's on the house.

don't get upset. you gotta watch out for your digestion.

are you ever coming back?

that's real good, hon.

what the hell are you laughing about?

just drop it, will you? because i know what you're doing.

want to dance?

working, my ass.

i want to tell you something. i don't want to see you, i don't want to hear you for a whole month.

you were the guy who punched him, not me.

come on. it ain't so bad. it was all just a joke.

i don't want to talk. i want to be left alone.

friend, i don't think you understand.

with that attitude, you could end up on the hog farm up to your ass in pig shit.

why don't you finish your dinner.

you look tired, you know that, buddy? they working you hard?

i think you'd make a good assistant director for my talent show.

don't make fun of me.

you used to look scary and ridiculous. now you just look ridiculous.

you're also an asshole.

that's because you're learning, you know? you're learning how to laugh.

will you fuck off? jesus christ.

you're going places.

i'm glad you wore your sweater, because it's cold.

just remember, all right, that you're a person.

thanks for a big fat nothing.

you stinking shit. you coward.

you're my best friend.

going to read your fortunes. hands out.

put a peanut up your nose.

what the hell's the matter with you?

keep your voice down. this is a hospital.

what have they done to you?

look, you skinny little bastard, will you wake up?

you and me, we think alike, don't we?

i just can't make it alone anymore.

i'm going to take care of you.

the old guard: tales through time from the 2021 comic. alter as needed.

oh my god, my shoulders are killing me. and my abs.

it doesn't look heavy.

so how many of those things you gone through over the years?

i'm old, i'm not that old.

half the time, i don't know if i'm remembering or if i'm just making shit up.

there's a lot of conflicting emotions there.

look hard enough, you'll find what you need.

we live in hell, my darlings.

you'll miss the show if you keep trying to burn that man alive with your eyes.

can we have one romantic night without starting an incident?

i don't know what you're referring to.

in every harbor, the same venomous bastards.

on the house.

we are a tough weed to destroy. you understand, yes?

oh, my darling, i can imagine many things.

i have seen angels in my time.

you are not local. where is home?

how mysterious and exhausting!

we should get out of here. i want to commit a crime.

i dare say this is the loveliest crime we have ever committed.

every moment we scrape together feels precious.

you damned maniac!

you know what police do when they find bodies of vermin like you? nothing. they do nothing at all.

everywhere we go, there is the same violence. the same cruelty.

always hate at the edge of the light.

you have not changed in half a century. is there a grisly portrait in an attic somewhere?

no matter where you go, you have a home. you have a family.

now we will never know.

i was a young man when i became a weapon.

i was not a thoughtful young man. nor a brave one.

mercy is not reserved for those who deserve it.

if it is not, may the gods strike us down.

you needn't hide.

who are you to make this choice?

something gnaws at me. like a string that has been plucked.

two days and you ain't said maybe five words the whole time.

all things considered, you're terrible company.

there's silver in these mountains.

friend, you don't seem the type to take it, but here's a bit of free advice... don't stay here too long.

easy with that talk, brother.

this strange life we lead must have a purpose.

my sympathies have their limits. as does my patience.

i have a feeling you'll be needing a doc, you keep running your mouth.

i am trying my very, very best not to kill you.

fuck me running.

am i already dead?

what i must do here feels necessary.

forever is quite a long time.

it would be a hell of a story to tell my grandchildren.

are you alone? are you being chased?

have you eaten?

i see the papers and i wonder if it's you.

i miss you so much.

this does hurt. to see you like this.

picking your little ass up is still the highlight.

your not talking is freaking me out.

you sound like a hipster.

we come back and take care of it tonight.

longer you put it off, worse it will be.

i need to go look at beautiful things for a while.

in a small town like this, it would all end with pitchforks and torches.

nothing worse sometimes than being right.

it would be a fine place to die.

i am lost without you.

the world makes no sense. up is down. day is night.

i trust that you are safe.

without your love as my compass, the path before me is uncertain.

you must have been touched by the hand of god.

tell me, my love, when you look at the sky, what do you see?

i am the shelter just as surely as i am the storm.

don't worry, friend. we'll get you fixed up.

no need to fret, you're with friends.

but what the hell.

two dollar vodka brought me here.

you are a foul little man, aren't you?

that's the first true thing you've said.

i've had years of practice.

i was afraid it was you.

how the fuck did you get yourself captured by these wackos?

oh, you're fucking kidding me.

do you have any idea what i've been through to track you here?

you're getting rescued whether you like it or not!

do you believe in god?

maturing does have its advantages.

this never gets old.

i don't delight in violence, not anymore.

i may have smashed a window here and there, that's all.

you're a little big to be acting so juvenile.

this bill is highway robbery.

that was uncalled for.

you are a selfish child.

there are more important things than incivility.

join me for a drink.

help an old man up.

believe me, it gets old quick.

it's easier with my boy to carry me.

there is always something else to learn.

this was your idea, kid.

you've been a busy little bee.

what can i say, i have a trustworthy face.

you need to stop watching heist movies.

rich people don't know how to act.

now go, eat and get in a nap.

i swear to god i can't tell when you're joking!

you did good, kid.

coming from you, that's high praise.

careful, all this being nice and you might sprain something.

woke up a couple days ago and i could feel the freeze coming.

what do i owe you?

fine, come on. i could do with the company.

[memestockpile]

conclave from the 2024 film. alter as needed.

do you think that anybody would mind if i took that, as a keepsake?

i know this is hard for you.

you know how rumor spreads.

it seems the responsibility falls upon you.

seal the room.

is this really necessary?

they say eavesdroppers can use lasers to read the vibrations of the glass.

i'm sorry to fuss.

i'd say this is a pretty fair vision of hell.

don't be blasphemous.

that'd be too much to hope for.

let's stay out here and get some fresh air.

have you seen the papers?

you are more worthy than any of us.

i could never live with myself.

sorry, my train was delayed.

we've missed you.

no one is ever well at our age.

apparently pope john the 23rd was too fat to fit into the biggest cassock, so they had to split the seam at the back for him to get in.

you look tired.

this is a duty i thought i'd never have to perform.

i haven't got time to hear your confession.

have you been drinking?

what's troubling you? tell me.

i should have come to you before, but i promised not to say anything.

oh, and you see it as your duty to prevent that, do you?

i don't think we have any choice.

bless us, oh lord, and these, your gifts, which we are about to receive from your bounty.

you look anxious.

the abyss calls out.

why do i feel like a cow being priced by the farmer?

it is tomorrow night that the real work begins.

listen, you don't have to do anything. just leave it to us.

i stand for never returning to the days of families of ten children because mama and papa didn't know any better.

i have no intention of concealing my views or pretending to be anything other than i am.

the men who are dangerous are the ones who do want it.

i'm enjoying all this mystery.

what? that's absurd.

do you want a coffee?

i don't know. i'm just trying to make sense of this.

you're a manager. manage.

let me speak from the heart for a moment.

certainty is the great enemy of unity, and the deadly enemy of tolerance.

our faith is a living thing precisely because it walks hand-in-hand with doubt.

please make sure your handwriting is legible.

it's the kind of thing the press like to get hold of.

my spanish is quite poor.

i love turtles. they're so clever.

may i call you [first name]?

i only mention it to illustrate my point.

i had no idea you were so ambitious.

that's a ridiculous thing to say.

i thought we had your support.

it is a war! and you have to commit to a side.

save your previous doubts for your prayers.

you can't seriously believe that i have the slightest desire.

deny it if you like, but search your heart and then tell me it isn't so.

well, i take it something happened.

there's been an explosion.

it's too late for all that.

please sit, my child. how are you feeling?

i want you to understand that, first of all, you are not in any kind of trouble.

it's important you tell me anything that is in your heart or that is troubling you. can you do that for me? it will go no further than this room.

that sounds ominous.

i am the victim of a disgraceful plot to ruin my reputation.

it was a lapse.

i sensed the presence of the holy spirit this morning, i swear it.

do not use this to ruin me. please, i beg you.

there is no hope.

i know you to be a good man.

will you pray with me?

whatever it was, it can't have been serious.

it's not my job to go hunting for secrets.

let god's will be done.

i feel as if i'm at some american political convention.

it isn't over yet.

shh! we take the point.

we're mortal men. we serve an ideal.

this is sad. i shall pray for you.

i deny that accusation.

it isn't libel, it's the truth!

you should be careful. your own ambition has not gone unnoticed.

this might be seen as a tactic to blacken the name of a rival.

i shall pretend this conversation never took place.

put them back, or burn them.

stay clear of this, leave it to me.

i'm willing to handle the consequences.

oh, don't be naive!

you lack courage.

although i am supposed to be invisible, i was nevertheless given eyes and ears.

judas. traitor.

that firm hand of yours has its admirers.

i've come to ask for your forgiveness.

it's shameful to be this age and still not know yourself.

no one was seriously hurt. some cuts, that's all.

you should be ashamed.

do not touch me!

with respect, what do you know about war?

the thing you're fighting is here, inside each and every one of us.

these last few days we have shown ourselves to be small petty men.

the church is not tradition. the church is not the past. the church is what we do next.

i wonder if i could have a word in private.

it was a very dark time for me.

i am what god made me.

perhaps it is my difference that will make me more useful.

i know what it is to exist between the world's certainties.

[memestockpile]

small things like these from the 2024 film. alter as needed.

hands like a shovel.

i'm sure you'll be needing the energy.

don't be shy, come on.

give us a shout if you need anything.

you have to break the boy to make the man.

start accepting it.

you're not listening to me!

just once, you brat. come on.

don't make me go in there.

you're miles from home.

dog's a right dope. three years old and he still doesn't know his name.

say "happy christmas" to your family for me.

what exactly am i supposed to do here?

you dirty liar.

you're a genius.

don't crease it!

show me, love.

little miss perfect.

i saw a school friend of yours.

what? don't be daft.

he's never not drunk, that man.

we don't know that, love.

have you more homework to do?

we have to say goodbye to you.

what happened to your coat?

don't be listening to them. they're only brats.

i can help you if you get stuck on it.

hey, don't look now, but they're following us.

free country. come on.

you smell lovely.

have you nothing better to do?

wow, what'd i miss?

check out my perfect circle.

you say that every single year.

it's such an important part of the cake.

ah, be a good girl.

come on, now, finish up your toast before it gets cold.

all right, you can have an extra half hour.

the house is full. what's one more?

never got around to reading that one.

you all right, love? you haven't been yourself in a while.

is it that you're just tired, love? is that it?

stop getting up in the middle of the night. it's not good for anyone.

you'll be nice and cozy with that.

you swear to god?

it's not up to me, love.

please. please don't leave me here.

i'll work for you.

we can't have people walking in and out whenever they want.

don't look. look away, darling.

stay where you are.

don't you ever question it?

do you want to get on in this life? there are things you have to ignore.

you've always been soft-hearted.

sorry. i shouldn't have said that.

i'll get you some aspirin.

let's stay on the right side of people.

i've had a room made up for you.

take me to the river.

it'll be light soon.

come on, child. come on. it's all right.

you gave us an awful fright, child.

thank god you came when you did.

sit down and warm yourself.

it must be a little disappointing, all the same.

they're forecasting snow for us. you can smell it.

the whole world looks pretty under snow.

do you want some tea, child? and a slice of cake?

now, don't be thinking you're in any trouble.

are you not a bit old to be playing hide and seek?

girl, what's wrong with you?

it's just a big nothing.

what you need is your breakfast and a good long sleep.

here's a little gift for you.

if you ever need anything, anything at all, you call. just come down and send for me, understand?

someone needs more lessons.

it's in my coat pocket.

were you not gonna tell me?

it's just bad manners.

you haven't said a word all day.

i'm coming down on a cold or something.

maybe it was just a shadow playing tricks or something.

i never told anyone but a priest at confession once.

you both raised me.

no use digging up old stories. there's enough living in the present to be getting on with.

jesus! could have blistered the roof of my mouth!

you're a good man.

it's no affair of mine, but you'd want to watch what you say about what's there.

keep the bad dog with you and the good dog won't bite.

they have a finger in every pie.

people can make things difficult for you.

we'll see you at mass tomorrow.

i mean you no harm.

will you not be cold yourself?

are you taking me away?

come on, love. it's okay. we're nearly there. almost home.

[memestockpile]

it's a wonderful life from the 1946 film. alter as needed.

he's got the iq of a rabbit.

then i've only got an hour to dress.

i've been waiting for over two hundred years.

people are beginning to talk.

what's that book you've got there?

keep your eyes open.

something happens here you'll have to remember later on.

i'm not scared.

wish i had a million dollars.

you like every boy.

made up your mind yet?

[name], i'll love you til the day i die.

i'm going out exploring some day, you watch.

just a minute, son.

what makes you such a hardskulled character?

don't let them say that about you.

what kind of tricks are you playing, anyway?

don't hurt my ear again.

i won't ever tell anyone. i know what you're feeling. i won't ever tell a soul. hope to die, i won't.

i want you to take a good look.

it's a good face. i like it.

it's just exactly what i wanted.

hey, send us some of them picture postcards, will you?

your suitcase is leaking.

sure, your highness.

that's some dress you got on there.

i only wear it when i don't care how i look.

come down to dinner this minute. everything's getting cold and you know we've been waiting for you.

aren't you going to finish dressing?

if you lay a hand on me, i'll hit you with this broom.

i'm in love with you.

what's the matter? you look tired.

couldn't want a better death.

no gin tonight.

maybe you were born older.

of course, it's just a hope.

why don't you draw up a chair? then you'd be more comfortable and you could hear everything that's going on.

i couldn't face being cooped up for the rest of my life in a shabby little office.

i want to do something big and important.

i just feel like if i don't get away, i'd bust.

you've got talent, son.

i think you're a great guy.

about time one of you lunkheads said it.

looks like you're going to make it after all.

have a lot of fun. there's lots of stuff to eat and drink. lots of pretty girls around.

aw, come on. be a sport.

and the next thing i knew, some guy came up and tripped me. that's the reason why i came in fourth.

oh, why don't you stop annoying people?

you look at me as if you didn't know me.

i'm not very good at this.

do i look as funny as you do?

you look a little older without your clothes on.

a pox upon me for a clumsy lout.

you make a wish then try and break some glass.

it's full of romance, that old place. i'd like to live in it.

i'm shaking the dust of this crummy little town off my feet and i'm going to see the world.

you want the moon? just say the word and i'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. i'll give you the moon.

am i talking too much?

youth is wasted on the wrong people.

a man doesn't get in a situation like this every day.

shame on you. i'm going to tell your mother.

do you know how long it takes a working man to save five thousand dollars?

what happened? we heard a lot of yelling.

you know what the three most exciting sounds in the world are? anchor chains, plane motors, and train whistles.

nobody ever changes around here. you know that.

i won't let you down.

we're going to give the biggest party this town ever saw.

i can see right through you.

i think i'll go out and find a girl and do a little passionate necking.

we'll wait for you, baby.

don't you ever get tired of just reading about things?

let's go out in the fields and take off our shoes and walk through the grass.

it's beautiful up there in the moonlight.

are you coming in or aren't you?

i don't know. i guess i was homesick.

you know i didn't tell anybody i was coming here.

you're supposed to be the one that has all the answers. you tell me.

i don't know why i came here in the first place.

it's good to hear your voice again.

i don't want to get married, ever, to anyone.

i feel like a bootlegger's wife.

after that, who cares?

just make yourself at home.

this is a pickle.

better to get half than nothing.

can't you understand what's happening here?

we can get through this thing. we've got to stick together, though. we've got to have faith in each other.

bless your heart. of course you can have it.

look, i've got a train to catch.

darling, you're wonderful.

heehaw!

bread, that this house may never know hunger. salt, that life may always have flavor. and wine, that joy and prosperity may reign forever.

it's no skin off my nose.

don't rub it in.

so long. see you in the funny papers.

now that's just what i like about you.

most people hate me. but i don't like them either, so that makes it all even.

you sit around here and you spin your little webs and you think the whole world revolves around you.

why in the world did you ever marry a guy like me?

i want my baby to look like you.

gonna snow again.

oh, you seven kinds of a son of a gun.

yeah, very funny.

just step right in here. we'll fix you up.

come on, look sharp.

i should have my head examined.

it takes a lot of character to leave your home town and start all over again.

i'm glad i know you.

i'm no good to you.

i can't think any more. it hurts.

where's that money, you stupid, silly old fool!

one of us is going to jail! well, it's not going to be me!

come on out in the kitchen with me while i finish dinner.

have a hectic day?

might as well be living in a refrigerator.

wait now. where do you think you're going?

now, will you do something for me? will you try and get some sleep?

will you get out and let me handle this?

what do you think i am, a dictionary?

you misplaced eight thousand dollars?

you're the only one in town who can help me.

what are you but a warped, frustrated young man?

you're worth more dead than alive.

you can't hide in a little town like this.

i'm at the end of my rope.

that's what i get for praying.

i didn't have time to get some stylish underwear.

i didn't fall in. i jumped in.

it's against the law to commit suicide around here.

i know if i were drowning you'd try and save me.

i'm the answer to your prayer.

i've watched you grow up from a little boy.

ridiculous of you to think of killing yourself for money.

i'm your guardian angel.

if it hadn't been for me, everybody'd be a lot better off.

look, little fella, go off and haunt somebody else, will you?

hmm, this isn't going to be so easy.

i suppose it would have been better if i'd never been born at all.

you mustn't say things like that.

you don't have to make all that fuss about it.

we serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast.

you'll see a lot of strange things from now on.

little fella, you worry me.

no wonder you jumped in the river.

that's another reason for me not to like you.

you're nobody. you have no identity.

this is some sort of funny dream i'm having here.

you're screwy, and you're driving me crazy, too!

i've got some bad liquor or something.

i ain't never seen you before in my life.

look, now why don't you be a good kid and we'll take you in to a doctor. everything's going to be all right.

something terrible's happened to me. i don't know what it is.

strange, isn't it? each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

you really had a wonderful life. don't you see what a mistake it would be to throw it away?

i'm not supposed to tell. you're not going to like it.

there must be some easier way.

i want to live again.

i've been looking all over town trying to find you.

hey, your mouth's bleeding. are you sure you're all right?

oh, look at this wonderful drafty old house!

i could eat you up.

my little gingersnap, how do you feel?

darling, where have you been?

let me touch you! oh, you're real!

you have no idea what's happened to me.

come on downstairs quick. they're on their way.

told a few people you were in trouble and they scattered all over town collecting money.

i'm not going to go. i changed my mind.

i wouldn't have a roof over my head if it wasn't for you.

remember no man is a failure who has friends.

every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.

nothing is harder than to have no place.

joy to the world, the food has come!

you don't know much, do you?

don't gobble your food. eat it with love for the people who made and brought it here.

i hate that bible-thumping.

don't call your mother that.

eat shit, you old fart.

you peep pretty loud for a chick that can't even find its own worms.

should a burden on society like you be talking?

you mouthy brat!

can't you at least get along at christmas?

even a homeless pipsqueak runaway needs a christmas present.

six months on the street means you don't have a home.

speak for yourself, you old geezer.

show more respect, kid.

there, there, now. we'll take you somewhere warm.

i'm just doing god's will.

how tacky!

this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

you're not going anywhere, are you?

boil some water.

hey! whose side are you on?

i was married once.

a child's the only thing you hold dearer than life itself.

that's how you get to be a man like me.

i didn't want to hear that. i hate sad stories!

dreams do come true.

even if my husband was no good, i would accept dire poverty as long as i had my child.

you're so pretty.

i never knew my real mother. i'll bet if she saw me now, she'd flip.

you'll catch cold in those.

a hostess club won't be open at this hour.

have you bathed lately?

go ahead, blame it all on me.

that's going to make you even hungrier.

we'll get by.

listen to me. i'm serious.

i speak from experience.

i wouldn't abandon a kid.

you're so lucky. god must really love you.

call me if you're ever in trouble.

if you know it's rude, then don't ask.

make yourself at home.

sorry, sorry. i almost got killed.

what have you gotten us into?

just shut up and eat!

we're homeless bums, not action movie heroes.

i thought i could depend on you!

there's nothing we can do.

you really are the lowest of the low. the best thing you'll ever do is die in the gutter.

all you ever do is cause people trouble.

you'll be dead and no one'll care.

okay, so i'm trash. but you're ugly.

who cares how you die? you're dead all the same.

you remind me of myself when i was younger.

looking at you now, may i make a last request?

no one will ever know.

take care of yourself, okay?

big breasts. cool!

i'm not kidding around, either!

i can never go back.

how could you do this to me?

it's your own fault! you never listen to anything i say!

use the scarf i made you to mop up the blood.

what are you doing in my house?

oh, i've missed you, my little angel.

i'm so glad you're safe.

the kind of man i like is slender, middle-aged, tanned, with a divine square-back haircut and an accent who says "ah, what the hell," when i don't quite have cab fare.

i wanted to see you before i died.

i never thought i'd be here again.

i know i have no right to come strolling in now, but there's no one else i can call on.

some kids beat me up.

i'm like a canary that's forgotten its song.

death is always a hair's breadth away.

we certainly had fun, didn't we?

people call me notorious. good for nothing.

what a terrible thing to say.

i'm just glad you're okay.

a little bit of money took care of that.

stop it. you scare me when you start crying.

them's the breaks, i guess.

all i ever wanted was love.

an empty building's always nice.

i'd just love to fill up on some meat.

that's poverty for you.

doesn't it ever get tired of snowing?

i wonder how we look to them.

a child never forgets its parents.

what are you, homeless or something?

all anyone can do is their best.

the man you owed money to was shot and wounded the other day, you know.

you must hate me.

i thought you'd say that.

with a father like that, you have my sympathy.

always running away, never doing anything right!

being able to speak freely is the lifeblood of love.

you always have to sacrifice something.

i've done something that can't be taken back.

i'll throw myself in this river. i'll step neatly out of my shoes, stand on the handrail, and be at peace.

you're too young for this.

i'm damn near crazy from all this.

don't act like you're no part of this!

god must be busy this time of year.

i'm forever in your debt!

don't be afraid. i'll never leave you again.

a life is a life. it's only born once.

i want to go home.

lighten up. i'm a hero.

[memestockpile]

vagabond from the 1985 film. alter as needed.

that's all i can tell you.

the water must be ice-cold.

i wouldn't do it. maybe for a grand.

summer is better.

look at the prize i found.

got any matches?

i'd like to be free.

are you looking at me, or my sandwich?

you've got a dirty mind.

let's drink to that!

i know that one by heart.

going away for a while?

we'll have it easy for a few days.

stay out of sight.

usually, i'm all alone.

you slept all morning.

i'm sick of being cooped up here.

old folks pay well.

you're a pain. and you're tactless.

why aren't you nice to me?

i'm not going to rot here.

be careful with that. i'm very fond of it.

if they're dead, it's ugly. if they're asleep, it's cute.

you smoked my month's stash in four days.

pass the bread.

just the wind.

shut off the radio.

travel safely, my child. our door will always be open.

i didn't choose the weather.

a guy said you'd put me up.

you laugh at your own puns.

i know what it's like to be on the road.

we've all got to do our thing, don't we? that's how it is.

it's good to be alone. i've spent christmas alone.

hitching rides all depends how nice the man is who picks you up or doesn't.

you chose total freedom but you got total loneliness.

the time comes when if you go on, you destroy yourself. you head for destruction.

my friends who stayed on the road are dead now, or else they fell apart. the loneliness ate them up, in the end.

that's what i'd like to do, have a piece of land of my own, grow potatoes.

you'll get used to it.

don't get so pissed off.

your head's empty.

you're no dropout, you're just out. you don't exist.

fuck your philosophy.

i quit those bosses. but not to find another boss on the road in you!

you've read too much trash.

you really need a bath.

marry the wrong man and you're stuck for life.

so you sleep alone outside? for the fun of it, or because you have to?

no family to go to?

all drivers talk to their riders, so i make things up.

loud music kills my taste.

that sucks.

i took everything that looked good.

you realize i can't take you in.

i hate crowds.

champagne on the road's better.

you'll suffocate in here.

do i scare you or something?

we're wasting our best years because we lack money and space.

stop talking about that pig.

the chow's not bad. but the music stinks.

my wife said the same thing.

it's true what they say. i saw moments of my life flash by.

i should've done something.

i've been watching you a while.

it's not wandering, it's withering.

you can work with me if you want.

you hurt yourself bad.

i'll take good care of you.

bundle up.

what you need on those feet is hot camphor, good wool socks, and bigger shoes.

they don't want you to stay. i don't know why.

being alone is rough, but being a lonely couple is no better.

i'm the romantic type.

make sure you wash those nasty hands before you sit down to my table.

take your things and wait for me in the hall.

no one sets a foot in here.

i've often thought of you two asleep together.

poor kid. i'll spoil you, for a change.

he's cute. i'd do him.

behave, okay?

when you're that old, cats are better than nothing.

one more shot. just a tiny one.

you're so funny.

give me back my apron. now!

you're a lead.

i'll be harsh, since you don't understand.

you picked the wrong heartthrob.

you must have stolen it.

bug off, old man.

since i got no papers they'll lock me up.

i'm tired of moving.

you don't understand passion.

it's easy to criticize if you've got money.

we're just hanging out here, we're fucked, we got nothing.

i grew up in an orphanage.

i've got big plans for you.

i could use a cup of coffee. let's go get some coffee.

rise and shine!

that's enough, go horse around outside.

i could even take you to [place]. i have connections there.

this whole city can burn. i don't give a shit.

that radical shit turns me off. pain in the ass.

it's freezing. i can't sleep.

fuck off and die.

take the trail, cut through the vineyard, under the bridge, and you'll be in town.

[memestockpile]

saratoga trunk from the 1941 edna ferber novel. alter as needed.

looking so damned beautiful and queenly.

i'll bet there's gold in them thar hills.

you haven't murdered anybody.

you should live so long, not me.

is it always like this?

it refreshes me just to look at you.

i can face a battery of cameras without flinching.

this time i can give you a real story.

say anything you like.

i've got nothing to lose now. i'm coming clean.

here you are, smart as they make them.

you were a bad hombre all right.

people call it romantic now.

what can death do to you that life hasn't done to you already!

you ought to write a book about it.

there, there, let's not talk.

we'll be dead, too, first thing you know. so let's enjoy life while we can.

if it makes you feel better to believe that, then go on believing it.

drink your red wine, little one. it will make you strong.

go on, tell me again, from the beginning.

we've always loved the theater, our family.

a little scrawny thing like you!

your eyes, they're not bad, but your mouth's too big.

my life will be different.

you have dignity enough for all of us.

though i honestly can't say i regret a thing i've done.

that wasn't why i was laughing, really. anyway, it's better than crying.

i suppose nothing in life is what we dreamed it would be.

curiously cynical for one so young.

it's very chic to be haunted.

let's go wherever there's money and fun.

i only came here to show them they can't frighten me.

blood in there on the carpet by the bed.

by the end of the week everything will be shining and in order.

what do you think i am, a magician?

we'll buy everything delicious.

take shame on yourself, denying your own family.

do you want to stay with me?

life is something you must take by the tail or it runs away from you.

i don't want to hear any more of this telling me who i am and what i am to do.

nothing will ruin my breakfast. i have the appetite of a dock-hand.

it's better than anything i've ever eaten.

i'm tired. it's hot. i'm hungry.

i wish i could die now.

there'll be money for you if you do as i say.

i'm going to enjoy myself, and laugh, and wear pretty clothes and do as i like.

it will bring you strength and make your eyes bright and your cheeks pink.

you are like me. perhaps even enough to startle anyone who knew me when i was your age.

i'll find a rich man and i'll marry him.

that's why you are watching the door like a spaniel.

don't think you're fooling me.

i've a mind to slap you right here.

you'll do as i say.

i had you wrong.

i sure never met anybody like you. i think about you all day and all night.

you are the most beautiful little lady i ever met.

we must leave. it is no good for us here.

you're not bad. you're only mad at the world.

you are like someone in a story.

i don't like pistols. they make me nervous.

this is different, honey.

aim to make a gentleman out of me, don't you?

very, very rich and very respectable men are so rarely handsome.

a house isn't really a house unless it has about it the scent of a good cigar after breakfast.

sometimes you talk like a schoolgirl.

i had been taught to think that emotion was a weakness.

men often marry their mothers.

when i can get it honestly, i do it. when i can't, i get it the best way i can.

i've had a rough life.

i'll make them pay for what they did.

in a way, we are two of a kind.

that's called hush money where i come from.

there isn't anyone like me.

i wouldn't be here this long if it wasn't for you.

it's too soft and pretty down here for me.

i am so happy.

say that again.

your voice, it puts me in mind of the sky at night, kind of soft and purple.

i shall make a scandal. not a great scandal. just a little one.

i keep forgetting you're nothing but a little child dressed up like someone grown.

you look downright wicked.

whiskey is not a drink, it's a medicine.

i love you the way you are. i wouldn't change a hair on your head.

hold on, you're not fixing to try blackmail!

sometimes i'm scared of you, especially when you look the way you do now.

i like to hear your voice.

don't put words in my mouth i never said.

you wouldn't be as coldblooded as that, now, would you?

they'll run you out of town.

that's a fine speech, honey.

i've got so i'm not more than one jump behind that steel-trap mind of yours.

one must be practical.

you little hell-cat!

the idea was mine. the risk is mine.

i thought we would be partners.

you know i'm crazy about you. but i ain't that crazy.

you take things too hard.

don't be absurd, darling.

you make things come alive, the way you see them and talk about them.

i love to see new sights and visit strange cities.

you and me.

that is fate. you can do nothing about it.

you're a marvelous shot.

i have a sentimental feeling about them.

i never would just open a door and walk though, i had to bust it down for the hell of it.

it’s too late and too hot.

i sing quite nicely.

i am really a very good, shrewd woman of business.

you are younger than i thought.

one of my unpleasant habits is to be impatient of long discussions.

go to the kitchen and stay there.

i am not a nun. i like to go about to the shops and the theaters and the races and the restaurants.

i can make things very uncomfortable for you indeed.

you are too intelligent.

i am not offended. i am amused.

you know a great deal for one so young.

i know things without learning them, like a witch.

here you are: a melodrama come to life.

write me. write me everything.

i'll mosey back here in two shakes.

you sure cry pretty.

no regular killing. i'll tromp you to death like a crazy horse.

i thought i was used to being alone.

it doesn't mean anything. just tears.

this is bigger than i thought.

people do not play jokes on me.

i don't know what i should have done if you hadn't appeared.

i feel, really, that we actually are friends.

you have enough money to last you the summer.

if you had called me ma'am once more down there i'd have screamed.

get out of my room.

i've got a temper, strong as horseradish.

you ever let go at me like that again, i will punish you.

likely you're lightheaded on account of having no sleep and no decent food.

easy come, easy go, that's my motto.

looks like we're neighbors.

stop scowling like a cross little boy.

don't talk foolish.

there is so much i want to know.

you're what they call punch-drunk.

they'll tear you to pieces if you step in their way.

railroads bore me.

it'd be wonderful to have some champagne now.

don't you know you aren't allowed to slide down the banisters?

put on one of your prettiest dresses.

i feel so well and happy. happier than i've ever been.

don't make ugly noises.

you sound as if you were speaking to me far away.

to hell with all your planning and contriving.

it's like something out a story.

it is bad to be long without sleep.

you stay in these parts you're going to get into a heap of trouble.

be quiet. and above all, polite.

i'm going to bathe you.

make me a cup of your coffee, hot and strong.

i admire strong-minded women.

no one could come within a mile of you in looks and style.

poor little man.

just to know you've had my name on your lips gives me pleasure.

take your hand off my arm.

i'm boss of this outfit.

with you i'm never afraid.

i feel like cinderella.

if i wanted to i could lift you and carry you.

i just like to hear you talk, honey. i don't care what you say.

let's be young again, just for now.

you look to me like somebody who'd be lucky.

bad luck? bad judgment. good luck? good judgment.

you are suspicious of everyone.

it's a great strain, this pretending.

you don't have to be like them. you only have to be cleverer than they are.

americans live on buffalo meat and flapjacks.

a cigarette is sometimes cozy when one is lonely.

you should never have to worry about money. you ought to have everything that's beautiful.

maybe it'll teach you a lesson.

don't ever show your ugly little face here.

you're up to something.

you make me sick.

you are a good, good man.

it's very bad for me to be forbidden things i want to do.

pretty sure of yourself, aren't you?

you've got to work quick and get out.

come on away from here with me.

don't be silly, child.

i've known what it was to be very rich. i know what it is to be very poor.

give me credit for being smarter than that.

i live by my wits. they can't take that away from me.

sit down, child, and stop fussing.

i've watched you like a hawk. you're a smart girl.

you used to tell me everything. what are you keeping from me?

you are afraid of me, you are afraid of life, you are afraid of everything.

i think i shall go to the mountains.

all of a sudden you're behaving like a ninny.

everybody can leave me. i don't need anyone.

the world is no laughing matter. neither is life.

you're an ungrateful brat!

i don't know what is the matter with me. suddenly i don't care.

look here, are you listening to what i'm saying?

get down or i'll haul you down.

i have a mind to tan your hide good, here and now, you little rat.

go on, act like you're alive!

you're going to get them nice clothes mussed up.

stop standing there mumbling.

the party seemed so dull and stuffy.

run along. you've made trouble enough for one evening.

i care for nothing.

i would sooner marry a snake that crawls on its belly.

don't talk now. rest. here, take another sip of this.

you would have been killed if it had not been for me.

i butted him in the stomach.

want to go, like we did in the old days?

midnight cowboy from the 1969 film. alter as needed.

if you ain't man enough to do it for yourself, i'd be happy to oblige.

what the hell you doing in that getup?

i thought i'd say goodbye to you.

what i got to stay around here for? i got places to go.

that's real nice, honey.

you look real nice, lover boy. real nice.

you'll be the best-looking one there.

i only get carsick on boats. but it seems to me that's more the fish smell than the bouncing.

do you love me?

you're better than the rest. you're better than any of them. you're better than all of them.

what's your ideal in a man?

that's my remedy for insomnia.

i'm new here in town.

you sure are a pretty lady.

why, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

come on, baby.

they got you all gussied up.

i was talking to the dog.

please, you're annoying me. don't start up again.

bow wow wow, baby.

just you and me, catch an early supper.

i can stay all night.

how about a kiss?

do you think god is dead?

i sure have enjoyed being here. this is as fine a time as i've ever had in my life.

the way you make me feel so at home, i almost hate to bring up business.

person's got to make a living.

sorry. my mind isn't all here.

listen, sweetie, run along.

we'll get in touch with each other real soon.

you know, that's a funny thing, you mentioning money. 'cause i was just about to ask you for some.

who the hell do you think you're dealing with?

i could kill you with my bare hands.

guy gets horny just looking at you.

that is one hell of a shirt. i'll bet you paid a pretty price for it.

oh, kiss it, ratso.

you really know the ropes. i wish i'd bumped into you before.

bartender, drinks all around. one for my friend here, too.

you don't want to be stupid.

hey! i'm walking here!

up yours, you son of a bitch.

you don't talk to me that way.

just name your cut. whatever you want, you got it right now.

come on in. let me take a look at you.

good strong back. you're going to need it.

i'll bet you're lonesome.

lonesomeness is something you take, and you go right on with your work.

there's your strength, son. you've got the way of putting things earthy so that anybody can understand them.

you're wonderful, boy. you and me, we're going to have fun together.

i've prayed on the streets. i've prayed in the saloons. i've prayed in the toilets. it don't matter where, so long as he gets that prayer.

just open your heart and let it flow, like the river.

don't be frightened, son.

there's a tv dinner in the fridge.

i think that's sick, dressing up a dog to look like a child.

you're special. give yourself special treatment.

what do you want more than anything in the world?

take it easy, but take it.

looks like you've been locked out of your room, buddy.

you know what you got to do, cowboy.

i'm awful damn sorry that you're sick.

you're going to have to give me that money like you said.

don't take my watch. please. don't take it.

i'm going to strangle you to death.

i swear on my mother's eyes.

come on. i want you to have it.

what did you do, slobber on it?

you just keep your damn mouth shut about that night.

what am i doing talking to you?

come near me, i'll snatch you bald-headed.

it keeps the punks and the creeps out.

you're the only one who knows about it.

i don't need any help from you.

why don't you take a nap?

the smart thing for me to do is haul my ass out of here.

you're after something. what are you after?

what's that supposed to mean?

you want me to stay here tonight.

hope you know what you're in for.

i'm a truly dangerous person, i am.

sometimes you make me want to puke.

didn't i tell you once before to keep away from here?

the two basic items necessary to sustain life are sunshine and coconut milk.

starting tomorrow, you'll cook your own goddamn dinner.

i got to get out of here.

behind your back, i seen them laughing.

that's a matter i only talk about at confession.

you're beginning to smell.

i ain't never seen you change your underwear the whole time i've been here. and that's pretty peculiar behavior.

i bet you ain't ever been laid.

i like the way i look. it makes me feel good.

only one thing i ever been good for is loving.

you're pretty damn good at that. you could make a living at it if you tried.

don't rush me, boy.

there you are, you handsome devil, you.

i'll give you five for it.

there you go, boy. there's money for you.

friend i once did a favor for give it to me.

you stole that damn thing, didn't you?

i stoled it for you.

i'll be goddamned if i'll wear it.

like, sometimes, uh, your spirit goes up. sometimes it goes, uh... goes other places.

now you're talking priest talk.

i hope i don't come back in your body.

i'm usually a very calm and collected person.

what, you want me to get lost so you can go to your facy-ass party?

you're sweating all over the damn place.

come here. you got a comb on you?

a few dozen cooties ain't gonna kill me.

i love everything in the theatre. i would like to die on the stage.

wackos. they'll all wackos.

like heroin. death's like heroin.

i got to sit down. i feel crummy.

i don't even know your name. i want to know your name.

you can bet your bottom dollar on that.

things might work out better.

you're cheating. teasing me so i can't think.

you want some soup?

don't get sore or anything, ok?

take it easy. i'm going to lay you down.

you're sick, boy. you need a damn doctor.

you're really dumb.

just when things are going right for me, you got to pull a stunt like this.

we all have our off days.

i'd consider it a privilege if you'd have dinner with me.

you're a nice person.

oh, god, i loathe life.

take it. i want you to have it. you don't have to be a catholic.

saint christopher's the patron saint of all travelers.

it was just a stupid fight.

i hate doctors.

that's all mumbo jumbo.

i'll kick your ass if you're lying!

who's scared of typhus?

you're just drunk.

don't come back to me limping and crying anymore.

what do they see in that bag of bones?

don't fall for a guy like that. fall in love with someone like me.

you're not yourself today, like you're wasting away.

i don't like you this way.

you stink of whiskey.

don't even think about blackmailing me.

let's have a drink.

you've always got a line, huh?

you're pretty smooth, but keep your hands to yourself.

come on, man. tell me the truth.

why should i trust a quack like you?

i think you're being ridiculous.

you're far too blunt about the truth.

you made a terrible first impression on me.

you're always screaming at people.

this dog's too old to learn new tricks.

strays always have their reasons.

it makes me shake with anger.

there, there. it's nothing to worry about.

what is it? you're awful quiet tonight.

go like the tortoise, one step at a time.

don't treat me like a kindergartner.

you're an amazing person.

next time, i'll be much better.

you look like a ghost.

the rain's got me blue.

man, you're pathetic.

we all have fears. we're human. but you're too ashamed to admit it, and you confuse that with courage.

you're still scared of the dark.

i'm actually quite the dancer.

a lousy band can make the blues sound like a tango.

you're a drag.

you better be grateful or god will punish you.

sometimes i have to admit i'm some kind of angel.

let's quiet down and have a nice chat.

i got nothing to say to you.

stop acting like a stupid loser.

when i make a promise, i keep it.

i'm not scared of dying. i'll die any old time.

you have to do what i say.

been up to something bad?

it's been a long time since you stopped by.

i'll spank you.

you're lost a lot of weight. somebody been loving you too hard?

what's that look for?

hear you're the boss around here.

you're always showing up and disappearing.

i never want to see your damned face again.

it's better that you coughed up blood. you'll finally have to look after yourself.

sleep and dream about your childhood.

kiss me goodbye.

heartless bitch.

don't be mad at me, old man.

i couldn't stand being cooped up.

until you break free of that, there's no hope for you.

i've killed more people than you.

this is no place for a sick man.

go back to bed and stay there.

drop the feudalistic loyalty crap. makes me sick.

didn't i tell you to simmer down and get some rest?

listen, now. you stay right where you are.

human sacrifice has gone out of style.

don't you dare get out of bed.

i've always thought you're not cut out for this life.

i'm sick and tired of this place.

you've got to keep your temper.

you never did beat around the bush.

everything's so screwed up, it makes me want to throw up.

once a beast, always a beast.

you were blinded by love.

love made everything clear.

don't cry. i know exactly how you feel.

hey, no running.

you owe me a sweet.

don't you know anything?

a rational approach is the best medicine for life.

if you lock them together in a room with no food for a week, then you could see what it is: friends!

you're late. i was worried.

no one wants to hear such stories.

people always told me i looked like rudolph valentino.

let's get engaged.

looks aren't everything.

let me make you happy!

i'd like to show you off to my friends.

my parents would like you to come to dinner tomorrow night.

i think of you as part of my own family.

you see how i have to suffer?

my hand is sore from writing all this down.

finish at least what's on your plate.

you should know it's impossible to argue.

where do you think you're going?

show me your hands.

i'll write to you.

thank god you're safe!

you always tell me the same things. there's nothing i can do.

you make the worst coffee i've ever tasted.

it looks like a million dollars on you.

just come sit with me.

your stew is even tastier than i remembered.

cut the cards.

you have excellent taste in furniture.

if you want to stay alive, go back inside.

it still makes me cry.

stop with the smoking.

don't be so smart!

maybe you should lie down a while.

my nerves are completely shot.

now, now, boy.

it's good you got it outside your system.

it's bad luck to even speak of it!

i can bribe them.

we must all stay together. we've made it this far.

i can't stand all these worms crawling over me.

we'd better wait til things quiet down.

i'll do everything i can.

i'm going to blow your brains out.

no, darling! to die, it's easy, but you have to struggle for life! until the last moment we must struggle together.

you're now old enough.

easy. let's go home.

i feel like i'm in prison! i feel like i'm going to burst!

someday you'll be famous.

it's a miracle! how did you manage it?

i hardly recognized you.

you can come into my house for an hour or so til you warm up.

things can't be this bad everywhere.

you're crazy. it's too dangerous.

i've always taken care of you. trust me.

here, darling. i have a present for you.

goddamn you!

you should visit here more often. don't be such a stranger!

i'm trying to figure out what kind of animal you would be.

reminds me too much of my relatives to be erotic.

i guess i bit off more than i could chew.

light me a cigarette.

i made you a bed. you can be comfortable here.

um. have you seen my pants?

what a miser!

god. if it wasn't so pathetic, it'd be kinda funny.

damn it, you're driving me nuts!

remember my house is also your house.

of course, darling. you can ask me anything.

why are you crying, my son?

aren't you afraid you'll get caught?

lately, i've been feeling depressed.

sometimes i just don't feel like a functioning adult.

mostly i feel like crying.

keep yourself strong. for my sake.

just seeing you again gives me strength.

i think about you always.

it's good to know how to do everything.

i'll get you anything you want.

leaving? but you only just came!

i'm starting to feel human again!

want some chocolate?

never you mind, darling. it's always a pleasure when you visit.

stop! i feel guilty enough already.

it's so good to see the sun.

that's enough stories for now.

the passion from the 1987 jeanette winterson novel. alter as needed.

the others call me a dandy.

i'm telling you stories. trust me.

do it from the heart or not at all.

we're a lukewarm people for all our feast days.

will you kill people?

new to it, lad? don't be afraid.

what is luck but the ability to exploit accidents?

perhaps all romance is like that.

help me, you bitch.

what happened to your head?

you're like i was.

christ said he came not to bring peace but a sword. remember that.

i have a way with priests.

do you ever think of your childhood?

never talk happiness with a philosopher.

i like my anonymity.

time is a great deadener.

i don't care about the facts, i care about how i feel.

i take what there is and i've stopped asking questions about where it comes from.

walking in the dark is like swimming underwater, except you can’t come up for air.

aristocrats are not relevant.

then you'll come as my friend.

this year is slipping away and it will never return.

they say that every snowflake is different.

there is only the present and nothing to remember.

wherever love is, i want to be.

found it behind the altar. they always keep a good drop for themselves.

the body shuts down when it has too much to bear.

rumor has it that the inhabitants of this city walk on water.

with faith, all things are possible.

there's no knife can get through that.

i don't hate the french. i ignore them.

beware the dice and games of chance.

i come from a hairy family.

it suits you.

darkness and death are not the same. the one is temporary, the other is not.

you see, i am no stranger to love.

my heart is a reliable organ.

there are stranger things.

religion is somewhere between fear and sex.

bridges join but they also separate.

i never go to confession.

god doesn't want us to confess, he wants us to challenge him.

anything now to relieve the ache.

learn to look after yourself. don't rely on the good natures of others.

how intimate would you like to be with god?

lovers are not at their best when it matters.

i can't make love to you, but i can kiss you.

i'm surprised at myself talking in this way.

i never take off my boots away from home.

gambling is not a vice, it is an expression of our humanness.

in spite of what the monks say, you can meet god without getting up early.

you belonged. i envied you that.

i never tell a lie, but i don't tell the truth to everyone.

if you should leave me, my heart will turn to water and flood away.

there's no such thing as a limited victory.

not much touches us, but we long to be touched.

not all men are as fortunate as ulysses.

what you risk reveals what you value.

i was bored.

such games are better not played at all.

the world is surely wide enough to walk without fear.

what are you running away from?

this is the price we agreed.

the women, they're always the clever ones.

love can survive.

death in battle seems glorious when you are not in battle.

beware of old enemies in new disguises.

you can stay with us.

men are violent. that’s all there is to it.

what's paris? just a few boulevards and some expensive shops.

don't tempt the spirits.

there are stories i could tell you that would make your hair stand on end.

i keep it for luck.

you can do that when you're dead.

i want to make my own mistakes. die in my own time.

greatness is hard to be sensible about.

saints love to be whipped.

i don't want anything to do with you.

it's none of your business.

it will be easier if you come with me now.

you must protect what you have won.

no sane man would live like that.

you must stay here until i am ready for you.

do you know what you're doing?

you've grown up.

will you stay?

i have heard that when a duckling opens its eyes, it will attach itself to whatever it first sees, duck or not.

i stay here by choice.

i find the air much the same in every country.

one battlefield is very like another.

you don't believe me? go and see for yourself.

tampopo from the 1985 film. alter as needed.

make that noise after the film starts and i might kill you.

they say that at the moment of death, you see a sort of short film, your whole life kaleidoscoped before your eyes. i'm really looking forward to that.

none of that, you hear?

first contemplate the ramen. the stars of the show: three slices of roast pork.

until we meet again.

we'll be there in two hours. we can chow down afterwards.

does that have some special meaning?

i've got a bad feeling about this.

hey, you'll catch cold over there.

got beat up again? who was it this time?

you're soaked. hurry up and change.

come with me to paris. i'll buy you jewelry and furs!

don't be so damn stubborn.

you're behind the times.

itching for a fight, pal? just ask.

i'll be okay. go on ahead.

you're tough.

there were five of them. it wasn't fair.

is the numerator on top or bottom?

i tried to learn by watching others, but i really have no idea what i'm doing.

it lacks pizzazz. basically it sucks.

thicker isn't better.

lukewarm ramen isn't ramen!

please teach me! i'm begging you.

we'll do this til you get it right.

this place is famous for its seafood.

the most important thing is not to make any noise.

i can tell by the look in your eyes.

come back late tonight with the money.

don't give me that shit!

i couldn't finish it because it's inedible.

we had an agreement.

come share our meal.

burning is always a risk with french cuisine.

ah, the good old days!

very light, yet full-bodied.

you're not eating much, sonny. can i make you something? what would you like?

you can eat it out of my hand.

i thought i'd die from the smell.

be a good boy.

please allow this old man to help.

can't hurt to try.

maybe the dough didn't sit long enough.

it's none of your business where i hang out.

you're good for being self-taught.

leave this to the young folks.

it's just... now you look hard to talk to.

why are you doing all this for me?

everyone has their own ladder. some do their best to climb to the top, while others don't even realize they have a ladder. you came along and helped me find my ladder.

i grew up in a miserable family, so i wanted to make my own home the warmest there was.

i don't know how to act in a happy home.

maybe i'm just a cold-hearted guy.

i couldn't be happier.

give me your other hand.

don't fall asleep or you'll die!

how can you be so heartless?

the flavor lacks depth, or maybe breadth.

don't look so sad.

you're scaring me.

darling, what is it?

you'll get better soon.

you're a superstar!

so long, partner.

the ministry of time from the 2024 kaliane bradley novel. alter as needed.

it's been quite weird to hear people say that.

we don't know what to expect. that's why you have this job.

that's far too large a number to be real.

open sesame.

maybe you can explain that to me tomorrow.

i want you to stop telling me things for a moment, please.

that's quite enough for today.

i fear i may have got carried away.

you don't have a choice!

careful. your germs are showing.

it appears i was spared a wretched death.

i see. actually, i don't see. what does all that mean?

i don't think it's very respectful.

i'm going to go for a walk.

no one's forcing you to watch.

you're slurring.

i'm afraid that it isn't good news.

this is the compromise we must make.

you will earn your place in the history books.

oh, it's going. we can certainly say it's going.

yeah, you can't do that in this era.

do you think the guy at that table is a spy?

now drink your beer and look suspicious.

you look like you're about to sell me dirty magazines.

my friends aren't smokers, and they don't know i've relasped.

have you ever eaten a coconut? i've never experienced a fruit that fought back so hard against being eaten.

what is a dilf?

there is no need to swear.

i'm a very good shot.

i think it would improve my quality of life if we got a dog.

this is like being inside a gun's barrel.

if you'd like to return home, i can make my own way back.

well, that looks very unhealthy.

i suppose it depends on what you mean by erotic.

why are you printing the wikipedia page for the cretaceous-paleogene extinction event?

am i sure about what?

i will mash you!

do you, er, like cooking?

it sends a sturdy message.

i could use this one to brain a badger.

it's a handsome moon tonight.

it looks like a torture device.

i'm too old for this.

you are a little annoying, aren't you?

now pull on the brakes. pull on the brakes! pull on the—

can you swim? if i push you in the river, will it be murder?

how are you finding our fair city?

put that machine away. we are lunching.

i wish you could have known them.

unusual use of the word 'fun,' but i'll allow it.

oh. you're early. how unlike you.

you're a stupid girl.

oh dear...what a revelatory day i'm having...

we think about it differently these days.

don't pull that face.

you need to tell me what's happening.

this line isn't secure. for god's sake. hang up.

i hope you will forgive me.

have you ever been in love?

i only jumped up and licked the man's face a little.

i don't think you would have much liked me at nineteen.

we have not rehearsed well, or much.

godspeed to you all.

you're not going to ask me to dance, are you?

you almost looked like you were about to start enjoying yourself.

there is no revolution without joy.

we've both got eldest-daughter disease.

will you bury me at sea?

believe me when i say you do not want me to take off my jacket.

uppity bastard.

i am going to have the coldest bath that modern technology can muster.

i am going to smoke half a pack of cigarettes, i think. one after the other.

i'm afraid i'm going to have to get you both very drunk.

ripping to see you.

this is a classy household.

one develops a great deal of patience at sea.

you can't be superior around other people's pain.

you just sort of... throw yourself around. and wiggle.

i want to learn the electrical slide.

i understood at least half of those words.

you are a terrible teacher.

it's too warm in here. let's sit outside.

no one will ever take me as a wife.

if i don't smoke a cigarette soon, i am going to bite through a wall.

sounds a bit mk-ultra.

i know that was a bizarre thing to bring up.

you haven't upset me, you're just boring me.

i bet you had a tumblr.

stop it. take things seriously for a moment.

your feet are swelling.

stop cackling, you horrid woman.

oh my god. [name], do not get instagram.

you've got your elbow in my crotch, by the way. i don't mind, but you really ought to buy me a drink first.

you are looking very guilty.

nice drip.

cheers for the fucking warning.

don't come near me.

not that i'm having any sex.

don't sass me.

i'm going to check your temperature.

i can wash my own hair, thank you.

you have been working with a traitor.

you need to break that habit. it's a dangerous tell.

i bet you say that to all the girls.

behave yourself. or i will put you in the stock.

you'll catch a cold in those wet clothes.

hello, dear girl.

i brought you a liquid apology.

give me your bag. you look tired as hell.

we are having a splendid, if somewhat pagan, time.

did i wake you?

what sort of people are they? your family?

you must have been a strange little girl.

i can hear in your voice that you are smiling.

my ears aren't quite as good as yours.

you know, when you are out of my sight, i fear i've imagined you.

tell me what it was like, growing up there.

you know i can't handle spice.

everyone is so cruel to me, even though i'm very handsome and brave and i have never done anything wrong.

where are the rest of your clothes?

don't try to speak out the corner of your mouth like that. too obvious.

my hero.

am i supposed to feel like i've thrown up, but on the inside of my skin?

you should dress now. it's three o'clock.

you will come down for meals. that was not a request.

i think it would be better if you did not embarrass us both by forcing me to drag you.

i am trying very hard to be happy.

to failure!

god can see us.

we're going to try and get up to some really original sin.

i'll be sure to keep a candle burning in the window for when you come home.

do you want to meet some of my friends?

i am sorry to approach you in this way. but you need to come with us.

where have you been?

i have been trying to court you.

you're occupied to an almost violent degree by your career.

you're worried you won't make me cum.

you make terrible noises. like an alley cat.

put your arms around me.

i'm not trying to keep secrets from you.

you know we don't use that word.

i want to touch you.

you are a very bad loser.

there's something special i want to show you.

do you know where the safe house is?

someone tried to kill me.

i love you very well.

i should have you flogged.

do you think we went too far?

moss is a sign that god has a sense of humor.

i am a stranger in a strange land.

come here, you.

you're in danger, do you understand?

stop crying. you won't be able to do it properly if you're crying.

i used to puke every time. you get used to it.

when you are my age, you were realize how green you were.

easy, little cat. you have some explaining to do.

i'm not shooting you unless you make a break for it.

you little freak.

we end here, you and me.

you all right, kiddo?

i think i might take a trip.

forgiveness and hope are miracles. they let you change your life.

close-up from the 1990 film. alter as needed.

things might get tricky.

i don't have time for movies. i'm too busy with life!

i took you for a cop.

i'm going to see it through to the end.

a story like this doesn't come along often.

if there's any trouble, we'll be in this together.

i haven't been back since.

son, come here a moment.

so luck has knocked at my door for the first and maybe last time.

you can't imagine how anxious i am.

everyone in tv and film will be talking about it.

that's fate.

as long as god grants you good health.

young man, if you tell me the truth, i can help you.

to you i'm just a thief and a con man.

there's no one home.

it's pointless if it's not taped.

i don't exactly remember. it's been a few weeks now.

people out to con others have a certain look.

i knew from the start exactly what was going on and always had the situation under control.

let's not lie to ourselves.

i'm sure you'll find work soon.

you could make a film about my suffering.

what i did looks like fraud from the outside.

let me know if you need anything.

where did you buy that book?

if you'd like, i'll autograph it.

why do you use public transport?

it's a film you have to see a few times.

they'll be thrilled to hear from you.

i saw lots of movies as a child.

i didn't have the means to pursue those things, and i developed kind of a complex about it.

that was not my intention.

you could say i'm a traveler.

i am just a poor man.

because i pretended to be this famous person, they would do whatever i said.

even if it was really hard for me, i still wanted to go back.

that's one of the things that aroused our suspicions.

when spite comes along, art dons a veil.

stop bringing it up.

okay, i'll go alone.

i don't like to be recognized.

soup is my favorite meal.

everything has unfolded just as i predicted from the start.

i want to go out into the mountains.

we thought we might never see you again.

any moment now.

speak of the devil.

i'm sorry your night in our home wasn't restful.

a sage feels at home anywhere.

appearences can deceive.

i'd love for us to all share a meal together.

all we can offer you today are eggs.

don't go to any trouble.

one must be in touch with the colors of nature to remove the rust covering one's heart.

why is your face hidden from me?

you don't look ready.

what about me seems unnatural to you?

you should rest a bit.

that's why i always make work my priority—because it increases one's opportunities.

don't put off what you can do today, for who knows what fate will bring tomorrow.

may i have a word with you in private?

are you sorry for what you did?

prison is good for the good and bad for the wicked. it teaches the good a lesson but only makes the wicked worse.

without all that, my spirits would have fallen.

i could sense it completely, but i went anyway.

you were much more handsome when you were younger.

i've been dyeing my hair for a long time.

he's a good boy.

speak allah's name, and your heart will be consoled.

whenever i feel depressed or overwhelmed, i feel the urge to shout to the world the anguish of my soul. but no one wants to hear about them.

it brings calm to my heart.

i don't want to be presumptuous.

i'm not acting. i'm speaking from the heart.

art is the experience of what you've felt inside.

let me look at you.

dry those tears.

two days, one night from the 2014 film. alter as needed.

i've made a tart.

tell me why.

you mustn't cry.

why don't you want to go?

no one gives a damn.

i'm crying like an idiot again.

don't give in. you have to fight.

i never said that!

i've nothing against you.

i don't know what that was. i couldn't speak.

it's really hot. i'll cut it for you.

going to bed already?

you're letting yourself go.

that's easy to say.

i don't exist. i'm nothing. nothing at all.

i'll look like a beggar.

it's sick forcing you to choose.

you don't need to apologize.

something to drink? orange juice or water?

it's been ages.

so i wanted to ask if you'd vote for me.

i'm not mad at you.

sorry, i really have to go. excuse me.

don't take it badly.

think they could change their minds?

i'm really glad you're here.

i'm so mad at myself.

i even forgot what you did for me.

you'll manage it, i'm sure.

thank you, sweetheart.

yes, everything's fine, yes.

too bad for me but i understand.

sorry i was so curt.

you don't really believe it can work.

i'm not up to it anymore.

it'd knock anyone out.

i wish that was me. that bird singing.

you don't love me anymore. you pity me but you don't love me.

doesn't it bother you we haven't made love for four months?

my bonus is a lot of money.

i didn't force this decision on you.

i saw some maniac tear off.

can you see my hand? how many fingers?

i feel like hitting them.

i saw you from the window.

i'm a bit nervous about tomorrow morning.

i've been thinking about it since friday.

stop protecting me.

are you a jehovah's witness?

let's get some food and eat here while we wait.

you can't ask this of me.

put yourself in my shoes.

can i be frank?

i don't want to see anyone else.

i can come with you if you want.

you enjoy pissing people off?

i just wanted to give you a kiss.

i just took the whole box of xanax.

i've never decided anything for myself before.

you can sleep at our place.

i'd love to help but i can't make ends meet.

you're right to fight to stay.

it's better this way.

you like rock music?

it's what god tells me to do. i have to help my neighbor.

you're like me. you're scared.

chin up.

call me as soon as you know.

be polite.

shut your mouth!

happy now you've stirred up the shit?

you're heartless.

thank you for your support. i'll never forget it.

if you want to stay with us tonight, you can.

that's my good news.

yes, it's going to be tough.

we put up a good fight.

don't get fresh!

how about coming home with me?

what are you going to name this noble animal?

is it my fault you stayed out all night?

a guy showed me how.

hurry up, before we both get caught.

some queer-looking types hanging around this neighborhood.

why do i have to have a nut for a friend?

i'm a bird watcher.

you might hurt your head.

come on, it'd be fun.

shut up, nuisance.

that's why i like to come home.

it's nice you learned a new word.

this whole thing is your idea, and if it stinks it's going to be your fault.

you sore or something?

you oughta be ashamed.

aw, you and your big mouth.

got in a fight.

it's rotten having nothing to do.

i'll be back before supper.

it must be pretty nice to have your mother.

disinfectant and burn ointment and bug dope and bandages.

just what i need for survival on the sidewalks of new york.

survival takes more than sixty-five-cents.

they're secondhand, i guess, but they look all right.

you can make echoes.

so long, kid. i'll send you a card.

the guy i work for is a creep.

wish you were here, but you're lucky you're not.

you're a crazy kid.

you'd think i was al capone.

one day you'll run into someone that's bigger and meaner than you.

eat it. it's good for you.

how come you get all the way in here by yourself?

i pretty nearly got disowned.

she always seems to think i'm about to kill myself.

i think maybe it'd be nice. i mean to have someone worrying about whether you're comfortable and all.

i don't know. i just really don’t know. it never happened before.

it was a pretty nice little house.

i don't know why you bother.

you're got nothing to worry about.

i'm pretty fair at any kind of handiwork.

you might have got killed!

come on. you're one of the family.

let's go on this vacation.

i think there's something fishy about this.

man, this is living!

hey, how much money you got?

it's only a few blocks. let's walk.

my goodness, why are you up so early?

you don't look to me as if you felt quite right.

what in the world are you going to do there in the middle of winter?

don't talk so sassy.

i was afraid you wouldn't come.

let's go home and make cocoa or something to warm up.

on a day like today, you know what'd be fun? to be out in a boat.

i'm buying.

come on, darling.

take it easy, lady, take it easy.

i just want to be left alone!

poor child.

the reason why you and [name] are always bickering is because you're so much alike.

you got to poke into everything.

see, you don't eve know what you're talking about!

stop it and behave yourself.

here's to you—a long, happy life!
