“You know, I thought… I thought I’d be the last person you’d ever let them hurt.”
“If it had been you that they beat to a bloody pulp, if they had taken you from this world, I would’ve done nothing but search the planet for this pathetic pile of evil, death-worshiping garbage and then send them off to hell!”
“You don’t understand. I don’t think you’d ever understood.”
“Aw, so you do think about me.”
“But if I do that, if I allow myself to go down into that place, I’ll never come back.”
“I’m talking about THEM, just them. And doing it because… because they took me away from you.”
“ I don’t know what clouds your judgement worse, your guilt or your antiquated sense of morality.”
“[name], I forgive you for not saving me.”
“But why, why on God’s earth are they still alive?”
“They came all the way from the dead to make this shindig happen.”
“You’ll be as quiet as possible, or I’ll put one in your lap first.”
“Party pooper. No cake for you.”
“What hurts more? A? Or B? Forehand? Or backhand?”
“A little louder, lambchop. I think you may have a collapsed lung. That always impedes the oratory.”
“Now, that was just rude.”
“I suppose I’m going to have to teach you a lesson so you can better follow in his footsteps.”
“Nah, I’m just gonna keep beating you with this crowbar.”
“You wanna die? There’s easier ways to kill yourself.”
“You know, it only hurts when I laugh.”
“You said we knew one another. You do seem really familiar.”
“No. I’m just something you helped make.”
“That’s pretty cryptic… but interesting. Tell me more.”
“Who are you working for?”
“Lie to me again, and crashing into a wall head-on will be the least painful activity of your evening.”
“You look good. Been working out? You could probably use a little sun. Then again, who am I to talk?”
“No. It’s going to be a nightmare.”
“I’m chatty. It’s part of my charm”
“You don’t just do that. That has to be practiced. Learned.”
“But they’re locked up, like a lot locked up. Maybe we should go for a visit.”
“do you want me to take it down?”
“No. This doesn’t change anything. It doesn’t change anything at all.”
“You’re so much less fun now. All grown up and in your big-kid pants.”
“Still, better off than their replacement, right?”
“You gonna do it this time?”
“Do you really think I would go through all that trouble and not make sure you knew it was me?”
“I want this person dead. When I say ‘dead,’ I mean seriously dead. Beaten, broken. Their head mounted-on-my-wall kind of dead!“
“Understood. We’ll be taking further precautions at every transaction.”
“You know what I miss most about running with you? The toys.”
“Okay kiddo, I’ve got to go. But it’s been fun though, right?”
“Well, maybe a smidge more fun for me than you, I’m guessing, since you’re being awful quiet.”
“You say you want to be better than me, but it won’t happen. Not like this”
“ I’m sorry, that seems to imply that YOU organized this little flambé.”
“Please, I can help you. I know what happened.”
“Do you remember how they where when I found them?”
“Different than [name] in so many ways but still full of potential and power.”
“But I knew, even from the beginning, they were dangerous.”
“Then I got him killed. My partner. My soldier. My fault. I own that. I’ll carry that like everything else.”
“They’ve taken everything I’ve ever taught them and turned it on me. It’s a hell of my own making, [name].”
“You loved them. They know that. It should be enough.”
“You can’t stop crime. That’s what you never understood. I’m controlling it. You wanna rule them by fear, but what do you do with the ones who aren’t afraid?”
“I’m doing what you won’t, I’m taking them out.”
“It’s too late. You had your chance. And I’m just getting started.”
“I’ve got a problem and you are absolutely the person who possesses the gifts to take care of that problem”
“I’m gonna need something to wear.”
“Don’t be nervous, kid. But if you keep staring at me like that, I’m gonna cut your eyes out.”
“I’m the only one who’s going to get what they want tonight!”
“Don’t you just love a happy ending?”
“That took me two hours. You wanna see what I get done in a whole evening?”
“This wasn’t part of the damn deal, you freak!”
“This is what it’s all been about.”
“If you want to stop me, you’re going to have to kill me!”
