you know, between two people? not just a single quote? yeah. that.

– “Can you stand?” “I can try.”

– “They don’t scold. They don’t have to. If they look at you a certain way, you know you’re being scolded.” “Ah. So I’m definitely going to be scolded, then.”

– “Do they always follow what you say?” “No, actually. Almost never.”

– “Do you remember that conversation?” “I remember you saying you would explain. How much did you?”

– “I shouldn’t be here.” “Well, you are, and don’t think of leaving.”

– “You sound a bit like them, actually.” “Is that a compliment or an insult?”

– “Oh, so you aren’t looking forward to meeting them.” “I can’t think of many people who actually are.”

– “Look, I appreciate your hospitality, but I can’t stay-” “Yes, you can. Now sit down before you fall over.”

– “You keep being irresponsible and not taking care of yourself, of course I’m upset!” “I only collapsed on you the one time. The other times were only almost.”

– “If you’re not going to take what I say seriously, I’m going to tie you up and take you home.” “Good luck with that.”

– “Somehow you must not have heard all the bad things said about me.” “I’ve heard them all twice. But I’ll make my own judgments.”

– “They clearly want you dead.” “We knew that already.”

– “I don’t know why you expected anything else from me.” “I never expected much of anything. If you hadn’t turned out to be so clever, I might have given up on you years ago.”

– ”You’ll never have me by your side.” “I will, one way or another, no matter how long it takes. I will have you.”

– “You don’t know how dangerous they are.” “They don’t know how dangerous I am, either.”

– “Don’t try to talk. Save your strength.” “There’s not much to save.”

– “You don’t have to be alright.” “I have to get through the rest of this, though.”

– “You’re hurt.” “No! I’m okay! Really, I’m okay!”

– “Do you, uh, want me to come with you?” “You’re part of the team. We want you with us.”

– “Maybe we should hold hands. That way you won’t fall down any holes.” “More like if I fall down I’ll take you with me.”

– “What is it?” “Something’s wrong. I don’t know what. I just feel it.”

– “I can walk fine on my own.” “Yes, but I want to be close you. You know, as friends.”

– “Were you worried that I was dead?” “Of course not.”

– “Well this is not what I expected to happen.” “What did you expect?”

– “I had a bad feeling. Was I right?” “Depends on what you mean by bad.”
