the americans: season 1.
dialogue prompts from season one of fx's the americans.
is your mom a good cook?
nobody really wears cowboy boots anymore.
do you play at all?
don't you worry about god?
weed burns my throat.
you don't have a family, do you?
do you want to talk about it?
i don't lie to you. i never have.
that's all you want to say?
i take it you're the guy i'm supposed to talk to.
how dare you? was it just to get back at me?
i was just trying to do right by you.
no point in going to bed.
it never really happened that way for us, did it?
i've heard so much about you.
i think we'll do great things together.
we manage fine on our own.
i try not to think about it too much, but today was hard.
you don't look like a burglar.
are you trying to get me killed? is that what you want?
what if you were followed?
one mistake. that's all it takes.
you think you understand everything so much better than i do. why?
i fit in just fine, but i remember where i came from.
history repeats itself, so you do have to worry about it.
how worried do we need to be?
you have to rely on yourself in this world, do you hear me? only yourself.
you never talk to me. why is it so hard?
it just doesn't feel like it did before.
i won't tell if you won't.
i feel like i'm standing on a diving board over a pool with no water in it.
i think we're both a little lonely.
i hope we'll be able to meet again.
i don't need you to fight my battles for me.
you are not my daddy.
you can't wait for the law to give you your rights. you have to take them. you have to claim them every second of every day.
you know what i wish before i fall asleep every night? that i'll wake up and not be worried.
everything that happens is my fault.
coincidence is god's way of winking at you.
i know where you are. i've lived it.
you already did it. there's no undoing it.
you think i owe you an apology.
i'm sorry i didn't kill you.
i don't make vows i can't keep.
i'll keep you safe.
you know, i envy you.
we'll disappear together, and they will never find us.
i was afraid you wouldn't come.
run. disappear. go where they'll never find you.
i missed you. i didn't want to.
i want us to be able to say what's true.
i don't think i should have gotten you into this.
i'm here because this is where i want to be.
i was thinking about when we first met. do you remember that?
we can get past this. it doesn't have to be like this.
we didn't take a vow to be unhappy.
you're kidding, right? i mean, this is a joke, isn't it?
i've waited my whole life for you.
i'd do anything for you. anything. all you have to do is ask.
just tell me one thing: is this real?
it's alright. it's over. the hard part's over.
i didn't want this to happen, but it happened.
things just got a little crazy, you know?
you got anything salty? pretzels or nuts or something?
you can't be married and not have secrets.
i don't see a lot of future in my sleep tonight.
you do not get to speak to me like that.
i may look dumb, but i'm not.
the world is a lot darker and a lot uglier than i think you know.
find somebody that'll love you for being so strong.
we all die alone. before that, we make choices.
to being free and easy.
what's a four letter slang word that finishes the sentence, "do you wanna ____?"
do you care about anything? do you love anyone?
not everyone is your enemy.
i admire your predictability. it's comforting.
there's nothing more satisfying than finding another loner to be alone with.
believing in people isn't easy for you, is it?
you really believe all that, don't you?
we see what we need to see in people. things that aren't really there.
i made a pro and con list.
i know you better than you know yourself.
you always did insist on the truth.
come home.

don't touch me. i am not to be touched. - Elva to Johnnie (maybe a a bit of electricity worried about hurting robot???) @lightning-arias
@lightning-arias <3
Johnnie yanks his hand away at Elva's warning. He's trying to learn boundaries, understand them. Either way, he isn't hurt physically or emotionally, thankfully.
"Oh, sorry!" He blurts out, "I just liked your neat-o jacket. It's real cool. Where'd you get it?"

the americans: season 2.
dialogue prompts from season two of fx's the americans.
it's good to have the same enemy.
why would you open a closed door?
i've never been very good at waiting.
here, i'll read your palm.
where the hell have you been all these years?
the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
what does a person do for fun in this town?
congratulations. you're the first person i've met who wasn't exactly as they seemed.
i understand why ____ trusted you.
i'm not really supposed to talk about it.
i need help. did you come to help me?
i wish i could stay with you, but i have to go. you're gonna be okay.
we're here to help you. call any time.
how are we gonna live like this?
we'll get used to it. like we got used to everything else.
you didn't have a choice.
how long have you been watching?
i want to help you. let me help you.
i'm glad you're safe.
lying will not be tolerated.
none of this is your fault. do you understand that?
you're still alive. that's a good sign.
maybe you're never really solid.
i wanted to see the world, but i wound up here.
how can you be so nice?
is it okay if we just take things kind of slow?
i don't know why i told you. i'm so sorry.
don't 'honey' me.
i see something you're not able to see. you're afraid.
you're back, but you're not back.
i don't want to lose anyone else.
do i seem like i need sympathy?
would you stop being so reasonable?
i'm not interested in your best. i need results.
i can't tell if you're being kind or naïve.
you're easy to talk to. i'm really surprised.
i'd forgotten the heart-stopping thrills.
i know the look. i've used it myself.
let me put on my 'surprised' face.
i don't have anything to give you. i wish that i did.
i've never seen you scared before.
how can you read right now?
you never know what people are into.
i'm not allowed to change?
do you do that with ____? is that how it is?
you ever had anything you would die for?
i don't want to lie to you. i'm not a liar.
this business can be lonely.
you look like a spy in an old movie.
keep a tiger as a pet, it's still a tiger.
can't be too careful, nowadays.
it's hard to feel safe anywhere.
close your eyes. what do you see?
i see how you can develop a jones for that sort of thing.
you were my secret power.
don't you enjoy any of this? sometimes?
it's nicer here, yes. it's easier. it's not better.
i won't make promises i can't keep.
i need to be done with you people.
get that _____ out of my house.
it's not like i haven't been thinking about it nonstop.
once i did it, it seemed so easy to keep doing it.
i'm a good person, you know that. i'm good.
pick a card. any card. put it anywhere.
it's not cheating. it's called magic.
you think it's easy for me, what i do?
being a grown-up means doing things you don't want to do, all the time.
i thought we were through the hard times, you know?
i can't always be as honest as i would like.
i'm not afraid of the different sides of you. i love all of you.
you know you're everything to me.
either you didn't want to see it, or you just didn't care enough to pay attention.
i'm not here to be saved.
i see that you're in pain.
i wasn't really sleeping.
there are some things in life you can only handle yourself.
you're going to be eaten alive out there.
i'm glad to see you're adjusting to reality.
how much longer are you not gonna talk to me?
please don't ask me anything you don't want to know.
_____. you can say the word.
what's it like to be a hero?
i think the three things a person should focus on every day are health, growth, and community. don't you?
i made a promise to look out for you.
i said i'd be honest with you, and i will be.
i just want to be sure you're being careful.
i love the way you love me.
you don't get to take anything with you.
i'm glad your parents let you come.
being a parent is hard, but so is having parents.
i don't really understand computer stuff.
this is a long road to travel.
maybe you just don't know me as well as you think.
that must have been hard.
there's something wrong with you.
this is what i really look like.
these backwoods roads can be pretty confusing.
people like us don't have a lot of people to talk to.

pursued taken from the 1947 film.
honey, there’s no one out there.
if you ride with that arm, you’ll lose it.
you say somebody took a shot at you?
i was scared the way only a kid can get.
you were sure dreaming something.
my head hurts. it gets all blurred.
you covered up your trail pretty well.
grow up strong in the love that’s here for you.
is that package for me?
don’t upset yourself. the fever’s gone. and the nightmares with it, wherever they came from.
what’s all the shouting and drum beating about?
sometimes the lord protects us by letting us know only what’s needful.
the words will be like stitches that sew and pull on our life together.
i’m all tuckered out.
all of a sudden, killing wasn’t enough. i had to have more, much more, to use up all the hate i have in me.
i knew it as soon as you came in. by the look on your face and the way you walked.
maybe you’ve played into a cold deck.
isn’t that enough for you? doesn’t that show you that you’re loved?
i brought you some things.
just like any ordinary people. it’s worse than fighting or yelling in the street.
there was a black dog riding my back and yours too.
i’ve heard a lot of fever chatter in my time.
you’ve always been like that. able to think with my thoughts and feel with my feelings.
thank you, sir, for the treat.
i guess it sort of slipped out of your hand. right through the window, too.
(name), sweetheart, is something wrong?
i was saving this for thanksgiving. i guess we’re having a kind of thanksgiving, anyway.
it’s an old-fashioned tune. some people don’t care for it.
if that house was me, what part of me was buried in those graves?
you’re talking like a back-fence gossip.
i hope you’ll be comfortable here.
couldn’t stand that. if anything happened to you.
this is where it started, this is where it’s going to end.
i always have a feeling something’s after me.
the heck you say.
you may have cleared yourself in there, but not with me.
luck’s sure riding on your shoulder.
i was sort of worried myself. i got halfway lost.
why don’t you sit in the comfortable chair? company always uses that one.
you got no more sense than a duck.
i know there’s one big answer i’ve always looked for: why i was alone. why everything went wrong. why i had hate in me instead of love.
i told you not to look backward. look ahead.
you’re very gallant.
all the love i had for you is dead.
i was too scared to yell, so i just stayed there.
you’ve given me back my life.
i won’t stay here and see this thing happen.
you’re doing this for me because you’re afraid i’ll be hurt.

i was described as 'reserved and basically harmless'. (for dora or sketch)
"Do you find this to be true?"
Dora's inquiry is born of curiosity, wanting to understand Stu and his psyche better. Sure, people could describe you one way, but did they always know you the best when they applied those labels to you?
"I mean that as in... do you feel this is accurate to how you view yourself? I think, and pardon my opinion, you can come off as reserved, but there's still a bit of animation about you. You can be emotive."
