❝ His/her eyes are so dreamy. ❞ ❝ I am in love. He/she is magnificent. ❞ ❝ What wonderful style. That is a good look for you. ❞ ❝ What a saucy fellow you are. ❞ ❝ You are making my knees tremble, you are as beautiful as an oasis in a parched desert waste. ❞ ❝ You are very entertaining. ❞ ❝ Excellent, give us a little show. ❞ ❝ I am honoured to have met you. ❞ ❝ I do not know the words to express how wonderful you are. ❞ ❝ Oh my, you naughty thing. ❞ ❝ How could I resist you? You are… Irresistible. ❞ ❝ Ah yes, show me my love, what are you going to do now? ❞ ❝ You are back, I cannot believe it! ❞ ❝ Ah yes my sweet, I love to hold your hand. ❞ ❝ You are a close friend. But perhaps you’d like to be… Even closer. ❞ ❝ You have stolen my heart, you make me burn with love.❞ ❝ That is so romantic, and here of all places? Perfect. I could fall in love in a place like this.❞ ❝ Uh, I like this house. ❞ ❝ Not a bad home, but not a great one either to be honest. ❞ ❝ That is… Not a very nice house. I could never live there. ❞ ❝ Why don’t you wear that outfit any more? You know, the one with the, uh.. You know. ❞ ❝ You are rather busy, aren’t you. I wish you could spend a little more time with me. ❞ ❝ I know we haven’t been married for long, but already I can hardly remember what life has been without you. ❞ ❝ My mother didn’t think we would last, but she was wrong, wasn’t she. ❞ ❝ Daddy is here. So try to be good. For once. ❞ ❝ Go tell Daddy about your day. ❞ ❝ Let’s go on an adventure together. It’s a fetch quest, we need to bring something together for supper. ❞ ❝ Sweetie, go scrub your hands. They look like they haven’t been washed in weeks. ❞ ❝ Now be polite, we don’t want to have that talk again. ❞ ❝ There’s my clever girl/boy. Have you had a good day? ❞ ❝ Our little girl/boy does miss you when you’re away. But she/he keeps in good spirits. And she/he is always so happy when you return. ❞ ❝ It’s amazing how strong children’s spirits are. Not long ago our son/daughter was living in the orphanage, and yet he can still laugh just as hard as any other little boy/girl. ❞ ❝ Our son/daughter is healthy and happy, we must be doing something right. ❞ ❝ How’s our little girl/boy? Would you check on her/him? ❞ ❝ I hear that in [ insert place ] all they ever eat is potatoes. Potatoes baked, fried and boiled. How odd. ❞ ❝ Are these eggs meant to be blue, dear? ❞ ❝ I need you to do something for me, my love. ❞ ❝ I can tell that you’re a good person. Your heart is full of good intentions. ❞ ❝ Hello, it’s the marry monarch! ❞ ❝ This place is like an oasis to me, and you just made it better. ❞ ❝ You are a strong one, aren’t you. My, you must eat well. ❞ ❝ What an amusing beast that dog is. ❞ ❝ I don’t normally like dogs, but that one seems like a good fellow. ❞ ❝ Oh no, look at that poor dog. Somebody, do something. ❞ ❝ Pffh, dog breath. ❞ ❝ Dog, are you hot in that fur coat? ❞ ❝ Darling, you look different today. Honestly I don’t find that look attractive. ❞ ❝ I should never have married you, I cannot believe how poorly you treat me. ❞ ❝ You led me to believe you were a good man. Did you deceive me? ❞ ❝ Please stop that my love, I really don’t like it. ❞ ❝ Are you trying to scare me to death, is that it? Stop it my love, I am your husband. ❞ ❝ Must you behave like that in front of me? ❞ ❝ I cannot live like this any more. I am leaving you and I am taking our child with me. ❞ ❝ We don’t have enough money to buy food or basic household needs. We cannot live like this.❞ ❝ I have enough money to get by my love, thank you. ❞ ❝ Where we live is good enough. It’s nothing special but it is ours. ❞ ❝ Get your hands off him, he’s mine. ❞ ❝ What, but I am your husband already, you barbarian! ❞ ❝ You philandering scab! ❞ ❝ How can he be married to you too? Unless… Oh, how could you do this! ❞ ❝ Perhaps the time has come where we should consider a divorce. ❞ ❝ Hm, the standards of beauty must be different where you come from. ❞ ❝ Do those scars still hurt? ❞ ❝ You have some nerve, coming here. ❞ ❝ Why don’t you stop. Or go home. Or anywhere far away. ❞ ❝ Whatever uncivilised behaviour you’re planning, I do not want to see it. ❞ ❝ If ugliness were a virtue, then you’d be a saint. ❞ ❝ You are corrupt beyond redemption. ❞ ❝ What is this? A body. What has happened here? ❞ ❝ Ugh, someone has been killed. ❞ ❝ At the temple they say this world is nearly an illusion, but it feels real, doesn’t it? ❞ ❝ I have always wanted to travel the world. But I’d rather go by carriage than by foot. ❞ ❝ Stars above, that is a good looking monarch. ❞ ❝ Those who lies down with dogs wake up with fleas. ❞
