• “Put the knife down.”
• “You were right. As per usual.”
• “Sometimes it’s hard to see the lines you’ve drawn until you’ve crossed them.”

• “Please don’t look in this drawer. Please.”
• “I told you not to pick him up, he’s very sensitive.”

• “If we got married, would I have to take your last name? Or could we just make up a new one?”
• “I don’t think I can do this anymore.”
• “I heard you say his/her name in your sleep last night. Want to explain or should I just leave?”
• “I want to spend the night with you tonight. But I also want to sleep on your side. And without you on the bed. So technically I just want your bed.”
• “Please don’t be proposing to me in an empty parking lot.”
• “Stop saying you’re sorry, you stupid fucking broken record. It’s done.”
• “I’m not jealous, I’m curious. About the things you were doing. With him/her. Without me.”
• “Your mother’s looks could kill. Actually, are you sure they haven’t before?”
• “If you’re breaking up with me tonight, can I at least eat first?”
• “Stop sweating. It’s not attractive during sex, and it’s not attractive now.”
• “Are you – are you checking me out? In the line for the confessional?”

• “My dog licks better than you do.”
• “But through every stupid thing you do and say – and those are a lot, by the way – I love you.”

• “I don’t want you to think of me as your personal sex toy.”
• “Thanks and all, but that makes me feel like a low-class escort, so.”
• “A kiss in exchange for every nice thing you say about me. Deal?”
• “Promise me you’re not like him/her. I need to hear it from your mouth. Promise me.”
• “Look, I’ve had my heart broken before. I’m not ready to let you in just yet. Anywhere.”
• “Don’t leave me here. Anywhere else, okay, but not here.”
• “I wish I could say that was the worst sex I ever had, but I’ve had worse.”
• “I just blew you. Could you look a little happier about it?”
• “I’m attracted to shiny things, so if it looks like I’m staring at your chest, it’s because I am.”
• “What is that!?”
• “Oh my god, were you shot!?”
• “Give me the gun. Now.”
• “Hello? Anyone in there?”
