• ❛ you look really pretty right now. ❜
• ❛ stop changing the subject. ❜
• ❛ every day i fight, i fight for all of us. ❜
• ❛ what are you doing? what is wrong? ❜
• ❛ if i have to think about one more thing today, my head will explode. ❜
• ❛ you may be in grave danger. there is no time to explain.❜
• ❛ we can make our own way. please, come with me. ❜
• ❛ don't even talk to me about this because i won't remember.❜
• ❛ i am not your husband. at least not the one you know. i am another version of him from another life path, another universe. ❜
• ❛ i’m here because we need your help.❜
• ❛ sorry, very busy today. no time to help you– ❜
• ❛ all those years of searching have brought me here. to this universe. to you. ❜
• ❛ i’m here to tell you every rejection, every disappointment has led you here. to this moment. ❜
• ❛ i'm not ready to fight yet. ❜
• ❛ maybe we don't have a choice. ❜
• ❛ now, you can either come with me and live up to your ultimate potential, or lie here and live with the consequences. ❜
• ❛ i... want to lie here. ❜
• ❛ how often do people literally die laughing? ❜
• ❛ my husband won't even kill a spider. how are you the same person? ❜
• ❛ we are talking about infinity. if you can imagine it, somewhere out there, it exists. ❜
• ❛ how did i die? ❜
• ❛ i've seen you die a thousand ways. in a thousand worlds. in every single one, you were murdered. ❜
• ❛ what!? who wants me dead? ❜
• ❛ you’ve been feeling it too, haven’t you? something is off. your clothes never wear as well the next day, your hair never falls in quite the same way, even your coffee tastes... wrong. ❜
• ❛ maybe we would have been better off if we had never gotten married. ❜
• ❛ i never said that. ❜
• ❛ you didn’t have to. it’s the way you look at me. ❜
• ❛ can’t you see it? how wonderful it would be if you came with me? ❜
• ❛ i saw my life without you. i wish you could have seen it. it was beautiful. ❜
• ❛ shhh, you're not thinking straight. ❜
• ❛ what is worse than death? ❜
• ❛ i saw your face on a billboard and — this is silly — i wondered if you remembered me... ❜
• ❛ is it that i can’t be here, or that i’m not allowed to be here? ❜
• ❛ there is no good, there is no evil. there is only “goovil”. ❜
• ❛ if you can imagine it, you have fucked it. ❜
• ❛ do not be so closed minded that you blind yourself from the truth! ❜
• ❛ don’t make me fight you. i am really really good. ❜
• ❛ you're capable of anything because you're so bad at everything. ❜
• ❛ you can't remember anything because your bodies were under the control of other universes. ❜
• ❛ you were like puppets. and you could do things you normally can't do. you were like, what's that movie... raccaccoonie? ❜
• ❛ how can you defeat her in every universe, if you can't even kill her in one? ❜
• ❛ the sacrifices necessary to win this war... i know all too well. ❜
• ❛ i cannot lose another loved one to the darkness. ❜
• ❛ i know you have feelings. feelings that make you so sad. that make you just want to give up. that is not your fault. ❜
• ❛ i'll see you again soon, somewhere out there in all that noise. ❜
• ❛ just think happy thoughts. ❜
• ❛ you okay? caught you staring off into space again. ❜
• ❛ i'm the one you've been looking for. ❜
• ❛ i’m the one who will defeat you. ❜
• ❛ you’re finally free, like me. ❜
• ❛ you don't have to choose anymore. between loving me or hating me. you can do both at the same time. ❜
• ❛ before, you were asking about "our daughter". it's crazy, but it really got me thinking. what if you had come with me all of those years ago? ❜
• ❛ all of this time, i wasn't looking for someone who could defeat me. i was looking for someone who could see what i see, feel what i feel... ❜
• ❛ oh, good, you're here too. ❜
• ❛ i'm sorry about ruining everything, i– ❜
• ❛ we're all stupid. small stupid little humans. it's like our whole deal. ❜
• ❛ everything is going to be okay. ❜
• ❛ you think i’m weak don’t you? ❜
• ❛ when we first fell in love all of those years ago, your father would say i was too sweet for my own good. maybe he was right. ❜
• ❛ please! can we just stop fighting! ❜
• ❛ you tell me that it's a cruel world and we're all just running around in circles. i know that. i've been on this earth just as many days as you. ❜
• ❛ the only thing i do know is we have to be kind. be kind. especially, when we don't know what's going on. ❜
• ❛ i know you go through life with your fists held tight. you see yourself as a fighter. well, i see myself as one too. this is how i fight. ❜
• ❛ in another life, i would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you. ❜
• ❛ you know what i say? cold, hysterical, unlovable bitches like us make the world go round. ❜
• ❛ you aren’t unlovable. there is always something to love. ❜
• ❛ even in a stupid, stupid universe where we have hot dogs for fingers, we’d all be very good with our feet! ❜
• ❛ in a universe where we both agree that no one could love you, if we look hard enough, something will prove us wrong. ❜
• ❛ we are all useless alone. so its good you're not alone. ❜
• ❛ maybe you win in this universe. but in another, i beat you. or we tie. or we eat crepes. ❜
• ❛ i don't want to hurt anymore. and for some reason when i'm with you, it hurts both of us. ❜
• ❛ out of all of the places i could be, why would i want to be here with you? ❜
• ❛ i still want to be here with you. i will always want to be here with you. ❜
• ❛ i will cherish these few specks of time. ❜

She frowns. “You’re no fun, you know that?”

“    Lacey’s right.” Red replies. “If he thinks he’s going to die either way, whats the point of him giving up any information?” He thinks back to all those papers he’s sent to her about the efficiency of torture for information (or lack of) and wonders if she’s read them.

He know’s she has, Bolest just didn’t care either way.

“We may as well try and cut some deal to see what we can get out of him. If we still have to kill him at the end…” He shrugs. “It’s no skin off our teeth.”

Bolest sighs. “I suppose…” She crouches down to the mans height, pulling off the ear muffs. “Look, listen carefully. I’m not going to kill you or even hurt you anymore. Provided you start cooperating.”

Bolest had barely finished before the man started to laugh, prompting her to look back at Red and Lacey with the most unamused of expressions, giving the suggestion that she does not have anywhere near the amount of patience needed to deal with this.
